Danielle Collins has a fun sentiment that she shares with Coco Gauff when posting pictures on social media. Recently, before heading out for a night with friends, she announced that she will not be sharing “free feet pics.”
Collins’ last competition on the WTA Tour this year was at the 2025 US Open, where she participated in both the singles and mixed doubles events. In singles, she lost in the first round to Jaqueline Cristian. In mixed doubles, she partnered with Christian Harrison, and they reached the semifinals before being defeated by Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori.
Danielle Collins Enjoys Night Out With Friends While Being Careful About Not Sharing “Feet Pictures”
Since finishing her season in New York, Collins has been enjoying her time away from the court. She recently took to social media to share a mirror selfie of herself with two friends, all dressed stylishly for a night out.
In the picture, Collins and one of her friends were seemingly barefoot, and she covered their feet with white heart emojis. She revealed her stance by stating she would not share “free feet pics.”
“No free feet pics 🥳,” Collins captioned her Instagram story.
Last week, while spending time on the beach in Florida with her boyfriend Jalen Sera, Gauff shared a photo of them sitting on the sand and enjoying pasta. In that picture, she hid her feet and mentioned that she would not be sharing “free feet pics.”
“winter in florida 🩵 no free feet pics for me lol,” Gauff captioned her Instagram story.
This year, Collins achieved her best result at the 2025 Internationaux de Strasbourg, reaching the semifinals before losing to eventual champion Liudmila Samsonova. She also made it to the quarterfinals at the Charleston Open before being eliminated by the eventual champion, Jessica Pegula.
What’s Next for Danielle Collins and Coco Gauff?
Looking ahead at the 2026 tennis season, Collins was expected to kick off her year by competing in the Australian Open, scheduled to take place from January 12 to Feb. 1, 2026, at Melbourne Park.
However, the former World No. 7’s name was missing from the recently released entry list for the women’s singles event at the 2026 Australian Open. In this year’s tournament in Melbourne, Collins reached the third round before being eliminated by the eventual champion, Madison Keys. Her best performance at this Grand Slam came in 2022, when she finished as the runner-up to Ashleigh Barty.
Meanwhile, Gauff is set to begin her 2026 season by representing the United States at the United Cup, which will take place from Jan. 2 to Jan. 11 in Australia. Team USA will enter the tournament as the defending champion. They are placed in Group A alongside Spain and Argentina, with their group matches to be held in Perth.
In addition to the former World No. 2, the American team includes Taylor Fritz, Mackenzie McDonald, Christian Harrison, Nicole Melichar-Martinez, and Varvara Lepchenko, with Michael Russell serving as captain.
