**Tennis Star Danielle Collins Calls Out Cameraman During Match**
American tennis player Danielle Collins expressed her frustration with a cameraman during her match against Emma Raducanu at the Internationaux de Strasbourg on Wednesday. The incident occurred during a changeover in the crucial third set, where Collins felt the cameraman was intruding on her personal space.
“I need to get water. We’re on a changeover. You don’t need to be that close to me, and you don’t need to be on top of Emma. It’s wildly inappropriate,” Collins stated. “It’s not that difficult to give space.” As she filled her water bottle, the camera continued to focus on her, capturing Raducanu in the frame as well.
Collins ultimately secured victory with a score of 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 and is now set to face Anna Kalinskaya in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
Raducanu later commented on the situation, noting, “I was standing up because I did not want to sit down in the third set because of my back. I was staying standing because it was a bit more comfortable, and then she came to fill her bottle up and was just saying how the cameraman was really close and felt a bit inappropriate, but that is all she was saying.”
Both players are gearing up for the upcoming French Open later this month, where they will look to make their mark on the prestigious tournament.
