You don't need to be that close to me": Collins snaps at a cameraman during her match against Raducanu in Strasbourg
Danielle Collins is known for speaking her mind, and this time, a cameraman was on the receiving end during the WTA 500 in Strasbourg on Wednesday.
The American, who reached the tournament final last year, faced Emma Raducanu in the second round and came through in three sets: 4-6, 6-1, 6-3. However, the match was marked by Collins' irritation during a side change towards the court's cameraman:
