Danielle Collins opened up on what she thinks about Emma Navarro and their relationship.

Several Americans are currently inside the top 20 on both the WTA Tour and ATP Tour.

The US players have shown great promise and many are knocking on the door of winning the game’s biggest and most prestigious titles.

Two players that make up this group are Collins, a Grand Slam runner-up and Emma Navarro, who was just recently in the top 10.

They are two of the leading players for the United States and Collins expressed how well they get on with each other off the court.

Danielle Collins opens up on her relationship with Emma Navarro

Danielle Collins is one of the most outspoken players on the WTA Tour and shares a divisive relationship with fans.

Some love her and she has her detractors, but the 31-year-old maintains a good rapport with her fellow players.

This includes compatriot Navarro, who Collins discussed after reaching the Charleston Open quarter-finals once again.

“We have become good friends since being on tour and getting to know Emma, she is such a great person and her family is amazing as well, what they are doing for the sport,” Collins told Tennis Channel.

“I always love spending time with Emma and I think we are always kind of rooting for each other and wanting to see each other do the best that we can.”

Collins will face arguably her toughest test yet as she takes on top seed Jessica Pegula in the Charleston quarter-finals.

Both Collins and Navarro booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the Charleston Open.

Collins continued her title defence with a victory over 2017 French Open winner Jelena Ostapenko.

She won 50% of her break points during an impressive 7-5, 6-3 victory, and will face fellow American Pegula in the last eight.

Navarro on the other hand, found herself in trouble when she lost the first set to Ashlyn Krueger in Thursday’s fourth round tie.

But she has done so often in the past, Navarro turned the tables and completed a 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 win to advance to the last eight, where she will face Amanda Anisimova.
