Danielle Collins, the world No. 12 tennis player, showcased her extravagant five-star holiday following her bold remarks directed at fans during the Australian Open.

After contending with a vocal home crowd, Collins made headlines with her comment about enjoying a “five-star vacation,” asserting that her critics effectively contribute to her financial success. True to her declaration, she soon found herself soaking up the sun in the Bahamas after her third-round exit in Melbourne.

The American player ignited discussions at the Australian Open when she fired back at spectators following her victory over local darling Destanee Aiava in the second round. In a post-match display, she responded to the jeers by blowing kisses, playfully tapping her rear, and declared plans to use her winnings for a prestigious getaway.

At 31 years old, Collins noted how she and her friends enjoy the finer things in life, stating, “We like big boats, we like yachts.” Her sentiments were echoed in the post-match press conference, where she emphasized, “One of the greatest things about being a professional athlete is the people that don’t like you and the people that hate you, they actually pay your bills.”
