Absent since the end of August, Danielle Collins recently gave her news. Although she had her eggs frozen, the American will not be back at the start of 2026.
We will have to wait a little longer to see Danielle Collins at work again on the courts. Indeed, while she has not played since her elimination during the first round of the US Open (6-2, 6-0 against the Romanian Jaqueline Cristian), on August 26, the American, who had once thought of ending her career at the end of the 2024 season, recently took stock of her situation via a message posted on her Instagram account.
“I wanted to give you some news, because many of you have been asking me for it! I have taken time in recent months to recover from my back injury at the end of the season,” initially declared the player who is currently ranked 64th in the WTA rankings (with 996 points) but who should soon plummet a little given that she will not participate in the Australian Open in 2026, she who remains in a 3rd round this year.
Collins: “It’s truly an incredible experience”
Indeed, Collins will still take a little time for herself before returning to competition. “I also did several egg freezing sessions. It’s truly an incredible experience! But at the same time, these hormones that I had to take are really painful. I am so grateful to my friends who supported me a lot during this period,” subsequently explained the woman who was 7th in the world in 2022 and who won the WTA 1000 in Miami in 2024.
“I still have one last intervention to make. With all that, I won’t play for the first part of the year. But you’ll see me in a different way on Tennis Channel. That’s all I’m sharing with you for now. See you soon for more news! », Also wrote the American player who remains in a complicated final season. It remains to be seen whether she will return for the season on clay, a surface on which she has never really shone, or later.
