Danielle Collins hasn\u2019t played in the early part of the 2026 WTA calendar as she undergoes egg freezing procedures and works her way through the recovery and rehabilitation process for a back injury that slowed her down in the back end of 2025.<\/p>\n
Collins, a four-time singles champion, has been working with the Tennis Channel in her time away from the court. And on Saturday, while covering the Miami Open, she shared a somewhat disgusting story involving her dog, Quincy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in the locker room; it was after hours. You\u2019re usually not allowed to bring your dog in the locker room, but I brought Quincy in because no one was really in there,\u201d Collins explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Quincy basically was like running around doing zoomies, and he was getting really excited, and then he decided to take a poop right next to someone\u2019s locker that I\u2019m not a big fan of. So, I\u2019m not going to mention the name of the player. I don\u2019t want to throw anybody under the bus, of course, you know, because I\u2019m working on trying to be my best self. But Quincy did know, uh, he knew the vibes were sus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Collins was then asked if she cleaned up Quincy\u2019s \u201caccident.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely cleaned it up. I\u2019m not that much of a you-know-what. But yeah, I cleaned it up and this was never shared until now.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was during the 2024 Miami Open, which Collins won.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the first time Collins has toed the line of professionalism. During the 2025 French Open, she let a cameraman have it<\/a> for not giving her enough space during a match against Emma Raducanu.<\/p>\n
That cameraman, along with anyone else who has had one sort of run-in with Collins, would be well served to keep their eyes peeled for Quincy.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy baby knows who\u2019s nice to mommy and who isn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
