Danielle Collins has shared a clear update on her health and her plans for the start of the upcoming season. After ending her 2025 campaign early due to a back injury, Collins explained that the past few months have been dedicated to rest and recovery. The American player has been managing the physical demands of rehabilitation while stepping away from competition to focus fully on her well‑being.
A new personal journey off the court
Collins also revealed that she has been undergoing egg‑freezing procedures, describing the experience as meaningful and challenging. She wrote: “I’ve been taking the last few months off to recover from the back injury I had at the end of the season. I’ve also been undergoing a few egg freezing procedures… It’s been one of the coolest things I’ve honestly ever done! But at the same time these hormones I have had to be on are a real b****.” Her openness highlights a personal journey that many women navigate privately. Collins expressed gratitude toward the friends who have supported her through the emotional and physical intensity of the process.
Stepping away from competition for now
Collins confirmed that she will not compete during the first part of the year as she completes her final procedure and continues her recovery. Despite her absence from the tour, she reassured fans that she will remain active in the tennis world. She announced a new role with Tennis Channel, saying: “You will be seeing me in a different capacity with Tennis Channel.”
Collins emphasized that she will share more details when she is ready, noting that this is all she wishes to reveal for now. Her message reflects resilience and self‑care, qualities that have defined her career both on and off the court. As she continues her recovery and personal journey, her eventual return to competition will be met with anticipation
