Iga Swiatek and Danielle Collins stirred up a controversy in the middle of their quarter-final match in the Paris Olympics.
The American star later retired mid-way through the third set, as she was trailing 1-4. While there is a lot of reasoning going around, regarding the whole match, Collins put forward her point of view after the match.

Many believe Iga Swiatek strategically slowed things down in the second set. Collins, thereafter, called a protracted timeout in the third set which initially seemed a retaliation to Swiatek’s act, but when she retired, it was confirmed that the American was indeed injured. However, while the drama was on, the fans were irritated as they felt that the mind games and disruptions detracted from the excitement of the game.

After the match, Collins was asked about the conversation that she had with the world number one just before retiring from the quarterfinal clash. “I told Iga she didn’t have to be insincere about, you know, my injury. There’s a lot that happens on camera, and there are a lot of people with a ton of charisma and come out and are one way on camera and another way in the locker room,” the 30-year-old said
