"Send good energy to my little baby": Danielle Collins wants to adopt dog involved in 'car crash'
WTA
America’s Danielle Collins has revealed that she is looking
to adopt a dog she saw on the road. The 31-year-old is currently taking part in the Miami Open, where she booked her place in the fourth round after beating Rebeka Masarova with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
Talking after the match, Collins asked the crowd to pray for
the dog which she saw being hit by a car on the road when she was leaving the
stadium ‘the other night’. The Florida-born star also stated that if the dog
survives, she will adopt him.
“The other night when we were leaving the stadium, we saw
this dog curled up in the middle of the road,” she said. “He got hit by a car.
I was like, we have to pull over.. we took him out of the street. He’s been in
the hospital now for two days. We’re hoping to adopt him and take him home.
Right now he’s in critical condition at the animal hospital. If everyone can say
some prayers for my new pet.. his name is Crash, because he was in a car crash.
Please guys, send good energy to my little baby.. that would be great.”
Collins is now set to face off against the reigning world
number one Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka in the round of 16. The 26-year-old booked
her spot in the next round after being awarded a walkover against Elena-Gabriela
Ruse, who was forced to retire because of a fitness concern. This will be the
seventh meeting between the two players. In the previous six meetings, Sabalenka
had a clear edge as he won on all six occasions. Their most recent meeting was in
the semifinal of the Rome Masters in 2024 where the reigning world number one came
out on top in straight sets with a score of 7-5, 6-2.
6 - Danielle Collins is the only player against whom Aryna Sabalenka has registered 6 wins without a loss in WTA events, only against Sakkari and Mertens does she have more wins in her career in such events (7 each). Dominate. #IBI24 | @InteBNLdItalia @WTA @WTA_insider pic.twitter.com/eKxZdxnQ1g

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
