Tennis ace splits with boyfriend she met in Wimbledon coffee shop and demands huge payday

Danielle Collins is single and open to reality TV for a big payday — increased media attention and an uncertain 2025 form suggest punters may prefer betting on early-round exits or backing underdog lines; consider match-prop markets (first-set winner, games under/over) for better value if she competes while regaining form.

Danielle Collins confirms breakup and hints at reality TV payday

Danielle Collins has confirmed she is single and admitted she would only consider appearing on a reality show like The Bachelorette for a substantial fee. The 31-year-old, known for her powerful baseline game and 2022 Australian Open final run, joked that producers “would have to really pay out the big bucks” to secure her presence on such programming.

Relationship details and how it unfolded

Collins met Bryan Kipp, a biotech vice president, in a Wimbledon coffee shop and previously described the relationship as refreshing because he wasn’t immersed in tennis culture. The pair have since parted ways, a development Collins discussed while weighing future media opportunities.

On-court struggles in 2025

The 2025 season has been testing for Collins. She has played just 29 matches, compiling a 15-14 record, and has been sidelined since a first-round exit at the US Open in August. The American is currently on a three-match losing streak; her last victory came versus Viktoriya Tomova at the National Bank Open before a three-set defeat to Coco Gauff.

Fitness and form questions ahead of a potential return

Collins’ limited match play and recent losses raise questions about match sharpness and physical readiness. Any return to the tour will be monitored closely by opponents and bettors alike, with form and scheduling likely to dictate entry into upcoming tournaments.

Implications for tournament entries and scheduling

If Collins pursues media work or selective tournament appearances, expect a cautious tournament calendar. Selective scheduling could see her target events where draw depth or surface suits her game, but long layoffs increase the risk of early exits.

What this means for bettors

Collins’ heightened publicity and uneven results this season suggest betting value may sit with conservative markets: early-round exits, underdog match lines, or prop markets (first-set winner, total games). If she announces a clear comeback and posts tune-up results, markets may shift, but for now extra caution is warranted when backing her in outright or high-stakes markets.
