This comes just days after the 31-year-old jokingly thanked the Australian Open crowd for funding Quincy's lavish lifestyle. In Melbourne, she found herself at the center of controversy due to her tussle with the crowd.

Collins faced hostility during her second-round clash against Australian Destanee Aiava, where her frustrations were evident. Despite the challenges, Collins battled through to secure a hard-fought victory. After her win, she sarcastically blew kisses to the crowd and, in her post-match press conference, cheekily thanked them for the "big fat paycheck."

"I was thinking during the match. I was like, 'If I'm out of here, I might as well just take that big fat paycheck.' Coco and I love, we love a good 5-star vacation. So part of that check is gonna go towards that," Collins said.

"So thank you guys, thanks for coming out here and supporting us tonight,” she added.

Later, Collins was booed during her third-round match against Madison Keys but continued trolling the Australian Open crowd after returning home. She took to Instagram to jokingly state the Melbourne crowd funded her dog Quincy's lavish dinner and vacation to the Bahamas. Sharing a picture of Quincy, she wrote:

"This sophisticated gentlemen wanted to thank everyone that also contributed to the Quincy fund during the Australian Open. He will be having steak and lobster tonight and will also be attending the trip to the Bahamas 💕😘

In May 2024, when Danielle Collins played at the Italian Open, she playfully shared why she grinds hard on the tennis court. After her win over Victoria Azarenka in the quarterfinals, she took to her Instagram and shared an image of Quincy, writing:

"Just out here grinding so I can afford my dog's boujee lifestyle."

2024 was one of the most successful years on tour for Collins. She won two titles including a WTA 1000 in Miami and returned to the Top 10.

Moreover, the American was planning on retiring to focus on her family. However, she took a U-turn with her decision and began the 2025 season in Australia. Currently, she holds a 2-2 record this season.
