"I hate losing to this guy": Danielle Collins' competitive spirit heads onto golf course with boyfriend Bryan

Danielle Collins talked about her competitive spirit in her relationship with her boyfriend Bryan, showing interest in each other's favorite sports. The American is experiencing a tremendous moment in her career with 11 consecutive victories after winning the WTA 1000 Miami Open title and then reaching the semifinals of the WTA 500 Charleston Open, where she will face Maria Sakkari to enter her second consecutive final.

As the former world No. 7 mentioned, she hasn't given her boyfriend tennis lessons yet, but they have spent time playing golf together: "We haven't had a lot of time on the court for me to like teach him because we just don't find enough time cause we're doing golf and he's also at my matches a lot and he's working," Danielle Collins said.

"But in the future, I'm hoping we'll play like the husband-wife doubles like the USTA, you play for the 'Gold Ball.' I explained to him that this is a big deal in the tennis world so hopefully that doesn't tear us apart," she added.

"He is very competitive. He was a football player at Columbia. Very smart. Engineer major. So, I'm more kind of like the jock in the relationship, and he's definitely more of the cerebral one," she said.

"He has gotten me on the golf course, and I'm so competitive. I hate losing to this guy. Love him to death but hate losing to him," Danielle Collins added.

Danielle Collins added that she hopes to improve her golf skills to match the level of her boyfriend Bryan and that she looks forward to having the time to enhance her game and receive lessons: "I've got to really up my golf game and get some tips. I'm still waiting to do some lessons at some point," the former Australian Open finalist said in the same interview:

"We just haven't had a lot of time, especially these last couple of weeks but I want to at least to be able to hang with him a little bit more out there because I'm so many shots behind him sometimes," she added.
