She's crazy. If she doesn't have the strength to play or is too slow, it's her problem, not the young players'. What kind of requests are these anyway?

[GreySox]

You're supposed to play at the server's pace, no?

[Silvos]

Is she actually for real or what? Sorry to say but you would never ever see this in the mens.

[sanoevzyimam]

If you're not ready, don't blame your age. Just quite the game, RET.

[donyutejamaica]

Is this an exhibition match or real match?Danielle Collin’s is out of her mind! I can’t believe what I’m seeing and hearing here..she wouldn’t dare ask a player like Ostapenko to slow down, so she could keep up.

[tgpgben]

She has this uncanny ability to get under everyone's skin.

[keithhayes]

She’s not allowed to tell the server how how fast or slow to play. She’s the worst

[Hickory-ezgv]

Ok now that was not cool, then DC you shouldn’t be out there if you are TOO old, you are a professional athlete…Hello!!

[peruano]

if she thinks she is too old, then she should go home and do something else

[scottsimpson]

I've never heard or seen someone ask an opponent to take it easy on them.
Embarrassing.

[charliesimpson]

I don't think the Williams sisters ever did this 😅

[SK-vdbb]

Not taking sides, but for full context, this was an exhibition.

[sayantoktasynov]

Мирра умница, не обиделась, и не агрессировала по этому по поводу. Отнеслась очень уважительно и по взрослому подошла к сетке и поговорила с Даниэль.

[casey]

There’s a nice way to ask for things and “hey, come up here” is not it.

[Angel_Blue_]

If you can’t handle the pace stay off the court. I’m now seeing that her behaviour at the Oz Open is not a one time thing.

[thao]

ok, you don't hear Monfils at 38, asking Fritz to slow down, do you? Please... it's not the DC's grand slam!

[trinerd]

She looks like a 40 year old Karen marking a scene in a cruise complaining that the waiter was slow.

[markb]

A Collins-Ostapenko match would be interesting.

[tye]

Outrageous. Who does Collins think she is .

[AustinRamsey-xh]

You not ready just don't go to tournament.
