Danielle Collins must have felt a surge of emotions after getting the chance to replace Jannik Sinner and Katerina Siniakova, and partner with Christian Harrison at the 2025 US Open Mixed Doubles. And that was all for the best. Why? Collins and Harrison pushed through the quarterfinals and secured a spot in the semifinals by defeating Belinda Bencic and Alexander Zverev with a score of 4-0, 5-3. But do you know what motivated Collins to showcase such impressive synergy with Harrison, and what keeps her focused on the finals?
Well, her priorities were crystal clear. During an interview with the media after reaching the Mixed Doubles semifinals, Collins weighed in on the question – “How much do you want the win?” Of course, the $1M prize pool was one of the biggest motivators for the Floridan. And she relayed her feelings with a quirky promotion of her merchandise. Collins said, “I mean, I don’t know if you guys are familiar with my merch. You know what the saying is… play tennis, cash checks, repeat.”
