American tennis star Danielle Collins had quite the moment during her quarter-final match at the Italian Open. As she faced off against Victoria Azarenka, Collins not only secured a 6-4, 6-3 victory but also clashed with both the crowd and a cameraman.

Between sets, Collins took issue with the cameraman’s proximity to her. She firmly told the operator, “Hey dude, you’re gonna have to back up a little bit.” The request was honored, and Collins continued her match from a more comfortable distance.

But that wasn’t all. Even as she led 5-3 in the same set, Collins responded to a remark from the crowd by shouting back, “What? What?” Clearly, she wasn’t afraid to express her feelings on the court!

Despite the outbursts, Collins secured her spot in the semifinals, setting up a clash with Aryna Sabalenka. It seems her farewell tour is filled with both intense play and memorable moments.
