DANIELLE COLLINS has spoken out on why men are “intimidated” by her.
Tennis star Collins, 31, previously dated biotech executive in the Bryan Kipp before she announced their separation on the Nothing Major podcast.
She previously intended to retire at the end of 2024 to start a family after suffering from endometriosis.
Nine months later, Collins made the decision to postpone her retirement over fertility struggles.
Before she announced her planned retirement in January 2024, she impressively won back-to-back titles at the Miami Open and Charleston Open.
Collins spoke about the difficulties she has faced due to her success, and claims successful men have it easier than successful women do.

Featuring on Nothing Major podcast, Collins said: “I feel like when you’re successful as a guy, the amount of people that flock to you is like infinite.
“You have a lot more options when you’re successful as a guy.
“But as a woman, when you start to become more successful, it narrows down the dating pool by a lot.
“And I feel like men can feel intimidated sometimes by successful chicks. I don’t know why that is, but, I feel that’s definitely valid for me and a lot of my friends.
“I think it takes a special person to date a professional tennis player, male or female, just because we travel so much and our lives revolve around our careers.
“We have a short window to accomplish what we want to accomplish. It takes a really big sacrifice from people that any of us date.”
Collins previously spoke about her aspirations of starting a family on her dating app bio: “Straight up. Already had my boss babe era.
“Just wanting to raise my chickens, do home projects, make freshly baked sourdough, be a stay at home dog mom, and hopefully pop out some babies soon.
“If you’re going to lie about your height just leave me the fuck alone. This is a no short kings zone.”
The next competition Collins will feature in will be United Cup in Australia, in which shes never won before.
