Danielle Collins knows how to make a splash—both on and off the court. The American tennis star sent social media into overdrive this past weekend by sharing a pair of swimsuit photos that showcased her patriotic side.
Dressed in a "Team USA" two-piece, Collins soaked up the sun and celebrated the Fourth of July in style. The images quickly racked up thousands of likes and comments from fans and fellow athletes alike.
“God bless America,” wrote fellow WTA player Carson Branstine, while one fan joked, “Beach Collins > Tennis Collins.” Another chimed in, “Serving on the court and the beach.”
The Florida native, who reached the Australian Open final in 2022 and won the Miami Open in 2024, is known for her fiery intensity during matches. But this latest post showed a relaxed, fun-loving side that fans rarely see. It's a reminder that even elite athletes know how to unwind.
Collins hasn't competed in a singles match since a first-round loss at the 2025 US Open to Jaqueline Cristian. She's currently on a break, recovering from a back injury and undergoing egg freezing procedures. In an Instagram update, 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!"
She added, "These hormones I have had to be on are a real [expletive]. I am so fortunate for the friends that have been helping take care of me during this time. I have one more procedure to go."
While fans eagerly await her return to the court, Collins is taking things one step at a time. Her hiatus was initially expected to last through the first half of 2026, but no official timeline has been set for her comeback.
In the meantime, Collins isn't the only athlete making waves with patriotic swimsuit posts. From NFL influencers to WNBA stars, the Fourth of July has become a prime time for athletes to show off their American pride. And Collins is proving that tennis stars can hold their own in the social media game.
Whether she's dominating on the court or relaxing on the beach, Danielle Collins knows how to command attention. Her fans are certainly loving every minute of it.
