EMMA RADUCANU'S OPPONENT DANIELLE COLLINS LAUNCHED A FURIOUS TIRADE AT A CAMERAMAN DURING HER THREE-SET VICTORY OVER THE BRIT IN THE SECOND ROUND OF THE WTA 250 EVENT IN STRASBOURG

17:26, 21 May 2025 Danielle Collins was absolutely livid with a camera operator who she accused of "wildly inappropriate" behaviour during a tennis clash with Emma Raducanu. The

drama unfolded during a break in a WTA 250 match between the two rivals in Strasbourg. In the midst of a game switch-up, Collins, 31, believed the cameraman was lurking too close for comfort

and didn't hold back. She leapt from her seat, made a beeline for him and demanded he back off and give her British opponent Raducanu, 22, some breathing room. Collins blasted his

behaviour as "wildly inappropriate" in a heated outburst that was caught on microphones around the court. She shouted: "I need to get water. We're on a changeover. You

snatching six out of seven games to snag the second set and push it to a final showdown. Article continues below It seemed that Raducanu might have to bow out when she suffered a back injury

and requested a timeout. She exited the court with her physio, but eventually returned for the final set, which Collins clinched to secure a 4-6 6-1 6-3 triumph.
