"Who would have thought a granny like me could win 15 matches": Danielle Collins gives hilarious response to 'oldest player' statistic despite being 30

Danielle Collins became the oldest tennis player to achieve 15 consecutive victories since Serena Williams in 2015 and left a humorous response on the WTA's Instagram. The former world No. 8 challenged the age factor over the past two months with two new titles added to her resume.

At 30 years old, she won her first WTA 1000 title at the Miami Open, and a week later, she clinched the title at the WTA 500 Charleston Open, this time on clay. However, her streak came to an end in the Madrid Open round of 16, after losing to the world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka in three sets.

An Instagram page posted the statistical fact that Collins is the oldest player to achieve 15 consecutive WTA tour-level wins since the 23-times Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, and Collins left a funny message on her social media: "Danielle Collins is the oldest player to win 15 consecutive WTA tour-level matches since Serena Williams in 2015.

“Who would of thought a granny like me could win 15 matches #thisis30 #30yearsold,” she wrote on her Instagram histories.

Collins' massive streak helped her return to the top positions of the WTA ranking, as in less than two months, she went from world No. 56 to No. 15, which will allow her to be seeded in the main tournaments for the rest of the year, something that will be helpful in her last year as a professional, as she revealed at the beginning of 2024: “Earlier this year around the holidays I decided this would be my last season. I’m feeling really happy about it and looking forward to it,” she said.
