Danielle Collins discusses her grueling day at the Charleston tournament. After playing two matches in one day and advancing to the quarterfinals, Collins shares that she hasn’t experienced such a challenge since her junior years. The inclement weather and the physical demands of five sets took a toll on her, but her marathon training came in handy. Collins is still undecided about which marathon to run at the end of the year and is carefully managing her tournament schedule to prepare.
She admits that running a marathon might be more challenging than playing two matches in a day since she’s a novice. Despite the challenges, Collins remains enthusiastic about her strong performance and her goal of representing her country in the Olympics.
