MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 16: Danielle Collins of the United States blows a kiss to the crowd as she celebrates winning match point in the Women's Singles Second Round match against Destanee Aiava of Australia during day five of the 2025 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on January 16, 2025 in Melbourne, Australia.

Oh, Danielle Collins is petty. Her troll job at the Australian Open was next-level.
Collins beat Australian native Destanee Aiava during a second-round match, and the crowd was not happy about it. Understandably, they wanted Aiva to win. But none of that mattered to Collins. She enjoyed every second of it. "If I’m out here, I might as well take that big fat paycheck,” Collins said in an interview as the crowd booed her.
Postgame, she thanked the crowd for hating on her because that pays her bills. Of course, that got us thinking; there had to be something around this petty moment, and there was. PHOTOS. Collins blew kisses at the crowd as she walked off the court, and there's a bunch of diabolical pictures you need to see.
Here's six photos of Collins openly trolling the Australian Open crowd:
