Later in a post-match interview, Collins referred to her friend and former tennis player CoCo Vandeweghe while thanking her haters for paying for their “five-star vacation.” “CoCo and I love a good five-star vacation,” Collins said. “So part of that check is going to go towards that. So thanks for coming out here and supporting us tonight.” The tennis star continued to express her gratitude for her hecklers in a post-match press conference, adding: “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. It’s kind of a cool concept.” She continued, “Every person that’s bought a ticket to come out here and heckle me, it’s all going towards the Danielle Collins Fund. Bring it on. I love it.”
