Why is Danielle Collins being booed at the 2025 Australian Open?
Danielle Collins has become known for being a feisty character and not afraid to stand up for herself. And that certainly came across in her second round clash at the 2025 Australian Open in Melbourne against home favourite Destanee Aiava. The American was roundly booed by a hostile crowd following her victory in a controversial match.
The 10th seed clashed with fans on several occasions during her 7-6, 4-6, 6-2 triumph.
“Shut up!”: Danielle Collins clashes with fans in Melbourne
During the first game of the second set, Collins felt spectators had failed to stay silent as she was serving at 15-30 down, telling them to “shut up!”. That led to jeers from sections of the crowd, and to Aiava securing a crucial break as she went on to to take the set.
The atmosphere was tense from that moment onwards, with Collins adding fuel to the fire by blowing kisses to fans after winning certain points.
The 31-year-old closing out the match in the third set was greeted by loud boos from all around the court, which Collins responded to by cupping her ears Hulk Hogan-style and blowing more kisses to the stands.

The jeering continued throughout her post-match interview, which the American again reacted to in provocative fashion.
“I was thinking during the match, if I’m out here, I may as well take that big, fat pay check. Coco (Gauff) and I love, we LOVE, a good five-star vacation, so part of that check is gonna go towards that, so thank you, guys, thanks for coming out here. Thanks for supporting us tonight”.
Her “thank you, guys, love ya!” sign-off endeared even further to those in attendance, although a good number of those watching and listening on did appear to find her “performance” amusing.

As the 2025 Australian Open kicks off, fans are buzzing not just about the incredible matches on the court, but also about the surprising turn of events involving American tennis player Danielle Collins. Despite her impressive skills and previous successes in the sport, Collins has been met with boos and jeers from the crowd during her matches.
So, why exactly is Danielle Collins being booed at the 2025 Australian Open? The answer lies in her recent controversial comments and behavior off the court. In a series of interviews and social media posts, Collins has been vocal about her disdain for certain players, officials, and even fans. Her brash and confrontational attitude has rubbed many tennis enthusiasts the wrong way, leading to a negative reception from the Australian Open crowd.
While some may argue that Collins is simply being true to herself and speaking her mind, others believe that her behavior is disrespectful and unsportsmanlike. Whatever the case may be, one thing is for certain: Danielle Collins is not winning any popularity contests at this year’s Australian Open.
As the tournament continues, it will be interesting to see how Collins handles the backlash and whether she can turn the tide of public opinion in her favor. Will she be able to win over the crowd with her performance on the court, or will her controversial antics continue to overshadow her tennis prowess? Only time will tell.
