Danielle Collins<\/a> has joined a dating app following her split with a man she initially met in a Wimbledon<\/a> coffee shop. The 31-year-old was in a relationship with Bryan Kipp, a vice president of a biotech firm, after bumping into him in London. The pair recently called it quits<\/a>, though, meaning Collins is freshly single.<\/p>\n

She has since taken to Instagram<\/a>, revealing to her fans that she was trying to find new love through a dating app. Her bio quickly drew attention, with Collins making it clear that she would only entertain men of a certain stature. She mentioned that she did not want ‘short kings’ clogging up her messages, urging them to stay away.<\/p>\n

Her bio read: “Currently a professional tennis player, but kind of aspiring to be a trad wife. Straight up. Already had my boss babe era.<\/p>\n

“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\u2019re going to lie about your height just leave me the f*** alone. This is a no short kings zone.”<\/p>\n

After one brave individual reached out to Collins, she wrote: “I\u2019ll tell you what\u2026 if anyone has the balls to slide into my dm like this just make sure to attach your most recent bank statement while you\u2019re at it.”<\/p>\n

Collins recently hinted that she would be open to going on reality TV in an attempt to find a partner, but made it clear that it would cost a pretty penny.<\/p>\n

“I would consider maybe going on reality TV, but it depends,” she said during an appearance on The Gay Tennis Podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Like, I don’t know if they can afford me. Listen, you know what I mean? Because this is like some blockbuster entertainment right here, right?<\/p>\n

“You would have to really pay out the big bucks to get me on, like you know, The Bachelorette and that kind of thing. Yeah, I mean, I would definitely consider it.”<\/p>\n

Collins opened up about her now former boyfriend during Wimbledon<\/a> run last year, where she reached the fourth round.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Tennis Channel<\/a>, she said: “He didn’t know anything about tennis, and he didn’t know I was a tennis player, which was really nice.<\/p>\n

“He was actually a bigger fan of golf and so he said: ‘Well I really like golf. I don’t really know much about tennis’. And I was like: ‘Yes! That’s so exciting’.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Danielle Collins has joined a dating app following her split with a man she initially met in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":541915,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[44811,104963,2650,174457,79,1068,31635,31636,5838,31637,129992,16,15,11911],"class_list":{"0":"post-541914","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-danielle-collins","9":"tag-dating-app","10":"tag-reality-tv","11":"tag-short-kings","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-tennis","14":"tag-tennis-section","15":"tag-tennis-latest","16":"tag-tennis-news","17":"tag-tennis-today","18":"tag-the-bachelorette","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom","21":"tag-wta-tour"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115474189847426590","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=541914"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541914\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/541915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=541914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=541914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=541914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
