Courier thinks Collins may have been impacted by the loud cheering against her during an Australian Open third-round loss.

American tennis player Danielle Collins embraced the Australian Open boos after her latest win. But there's more to her heel turn than meets the eye.

Aussie tennis fans are describing it as "fitting" that the player who beat Danielle Collins went on to win the Australian Open after Collins became enemy No.1 in Melbourne last week. And the tennis world is marvelling at Madison Keys' giant-killing run to her first grand slam title.

Tennis purists felt unsettled as Danielle Collins went right at a rowdy Australian crowd after taking out a hometown favourite in incredible scenes. But the exchange is actually healthy for the sport.
