Last year, Iga Swiatek dominated Danielle Collins in the quarter-finals of the Paris Olympic Games.
Physically diminished, the American threw in the towel while trailing 4 games to 1 in the third set.
During the handshake, she then told the Pole that she didn’t have to be hypocritical about Collins’ abdominal injury.
For Polish television, Danielle Collins returned to this incident and wants to put out the fire to move on.
“These are things that can sometimes happen on a tennis court. Of course, during that match I was in a lot of physical pain, but I didn’t feel comfortable with his behavior.
Of course we could have done things differently, but I just hope to move on from now on.
I just want us to be the best competitors we can be and be the best people we can be.
Sometimes I go a little outside of this framework. People make mistakes. The most important thing is to focus on the game and produce good tennis,” she said.
