Danielle Collins lashed out at a cameraman for getting too close during a tense WTA match against Emma Raducanu in Strasbourg, calling his actions “wildly inappropriate.”
Danielle Collins wasn’t just battling Emma Raducanu on the court—she also took aim at a cameraman in a tense moment during their WTA 250 match in Strasbourg. The 31-year-old American star called out what she described as “wildly inappropriate” behaviour during a changeover, catching both the live audience and broadcast mics off guard.
The drama unfolded when Collins noticed the camera operator getting uncomfortably close to both herself and Raducanu during a break in play. Visibly irritated, she jumped up from her seat and directly confronted the cameraman.
“I need to get water. We’re on a changeover. You don’t need to be that close to me and you don’t need to be on top of Emma,” she snapped.
“It’s wildly inappropriate. It’s not that difficult to give space, I’m sorry.”
The awkward moment saw Collins topping up her water bottle while still visibly fuming, the camera still rolling. She quickly regained composure and returned to the court to finish the match.
