Danielle Collins opened up about the challenges of dating after becoming successful as an athlete. The 31-year-old felt it's difficult for a popular woman to date a man and attributed it to a narrowed dating pool. On the other hand, she felt the dating pool in infinite when a man is successful.

"I feel like when you're successful as a guy, the number of people that flock to you is like infinite. You have a lot more options when you're successful as a guy, but as a woman, when you start to become more successful, it narrows down the dating pool by a lot," Collins said on the Nothing Major Podcast.

"And I feel like men can feel intimidated sometimes by successful chicks. I don't know why that is, but I feel that's definitely valid for a lot of my friends. I think it takes a special person to date a professional tennis player, male or female, just because we travel so much and our lives revolve around our careers," the WTA star added.
