MIAMI: Danielle Collins again faced questions about her decision to retire this year after she powered into the Miami Open semi-finals on Wednesday but the American said her reasons for leaving the sport were about much more than tennis.
The former Australian Open runner-up announced in January she would be quitting the sport in 2024 and that she hoped to start a family. After scoring a 6-3 6-2 victory over Caroline Garcia on Thursday to win five consecutive matches on the WTA Tour for the first time since the 2022, Collins was asked whether a run of good results could make her rethink her decision.
“I’m living with a chronic inflammatory disease that affects your ability to get pregnant,” said Collins, who revealed in 2019 that she had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
