Wimbledon star is dating former athlete she bumped into in coffee shop after losing at SW19
Wimbledon star is dating former athlete she bumped into in coffee shop after losing at SW19 American tennis player Danielle Collins was sent packing from Wimbledon at the third-round stage, but every cloud has a silver lining given she found love with a man she met in a coffee shop in London Danielle Collins has revealed how she met her boyfriend at a coffee shop after losing at Wimbledon (Image: Getty ) Pro tennis star Danielle Collins is in a relationship with a man she met at a London coffee shop after losing at Wimbledon. The American was ejected from Wimbledon this year following a one-sided loss to Iga Swiatek in the third round, where she briefly forgot the rules. Despite never advancing past the fourth round in the ladies' singles, she did reach the semi-finals of the women's doubles event in 2022. Collins, 31, had her best Wimbledon run last year, making it to the second week before being ousted by eventual champion Barbora Krejcikova. The world No. 54 has experienced plenty of disappointment at the All England Club, having competed at Wimbledon eight times. However, her 2024 loss to Krejcikova came with an unexpected bonus. After the match, Collins visited a nearby coffee shop before returning to the United States. There, she met Bryan Kipp, a former college athlete, and they started dating shortly after. Men's star Carlos Alcaraz has opened up on the difficulty of maintaining a relationship as a tennis star. But Collins and her beau are still together, with Kipp recently seen supporting Collins at the Charleston Open. During the tournament, Collins spoke about their serendipitous meeting in London in a frank interview with the Tennis Channel (via the Daily Express). And it certainly put a silver lining on her exit from the Grand Slam shortly prior. Article continues below Collins exited Wimbledon 2025 after losing to Iga Swiatek in straight sets (Image: Visionhaus, Visionhaus/Getty Images ) "He's had a really busy work week. We have been going out for a while now," she said. "We met at a coffee shop in London, so that was pretty exciting. I didn't think I would meet someone at a coffee shop. "Who would have thought? Just after the tournament, Wimbledon. He didn't know anything about tennis, and he didn't know I was a tennis player, which was really nice. "He was actually a bigger fan of golf and so he said, 'Well I really like golf. I don't really know much about tennis.' And I was like, 'Yes! That's so exciting.' "It's fun to kind of be around someone that has interests in other things and that's not as familiar with the sport, because you get to learn and grow with them and help them." The American will look to make a renewed run at the US Open on home soil (Image: Getty ) Article continues below Collins also revealed the sheer joy of sharing her love for tennis with her partner, who is more inclined towards other sports: "We haven't had a lot of time on the court for me to teach him, because we just don't find enough time 'cause we're doing golf and he's also at my matches a lot, and he's working. "But in the future, I'm hoping we'll play like the husband-wife doubles. I explained to him that this is a big deal in the tennis world, so hopefully that doesn't tear us apart." As for the competitive edge to their relationship, she shared: "He is very competitive. He was a football player at Columbia. Very smart, engineer major. So, I'm more kind of like the jock in the relationship, and he's definitely more of the cerebral one."

Wimbledon women's semifinals: Live updates, highlights as Amanda Anisimova advances to final, Iga Świątek tries to punch ticket
LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 10: Amanda Anisimova of United States celebrates winning a point against Aryna Sabalenka during the Ladies' Singles semi-final match on day eleven of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 10, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Visionhaus via Getty Images) The last four competitors in the women's singles tournament at Wimbledon are set as the semifinalists take the court on Thursday. With spots in the championship match on the line, Aryna Sabalenka, Amanda Anisimova, Iga Świątek and Belinda Bencic will take the prestigious Center Court. Anisimova became the first of that group to punch her ticket to the final with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 win over Sabalenka. It was a fantastic, back-and-forth match, but Anisimova came out on top in the end. Advertisement The American relied on a fantastic serve, which registered just two aces, but put Sabalenka in tough positions all game. While Anisimova showed signs of frustration and poor body language during the match, she recovered enough to take a huge 4-1 lead in the final set. While Sabalenka battled her back, that gap proved to be too big. Anisimova pulled out a narrow 6-4 win in the final set to advance to her first Wimbledon final in her career. Whoever wins the second match will be in the same position. None of the four semifinalist had ever reached the final at Wimbledon. Anisimova broke that streak with a win in the first match. Who will join her in the final? It could be No. 8 Świątek, who has been dominant so far in this tournament, winning 10 of 11 sets decisively in search of her 22nd WTA singles title and a sixth major to add to her four French Open titles, plus one US Open win. Switzerland's unseeded Bencic has scraped her way to the semis in a tournament that has been marred by upsets. Apart from her first-round win over Alycia Parksa, Bencic has navigated a tightly-contested route to the semis, with two of her matches seeing a third set. She upset No. 7 Mirra Andreeva to advance to Thursday, and currently has a WTA ranking of 34.

What was learnt from Joe Montemurro's opening matches in charge of the Matildas ahead of the Women's Asian Cup 2026
We know what Montemurro is trying to do: introduce an attacking, possession-based style of play into a team that has lacked on-field direction for some time. And when they last had a tactical direction, which feels like a lifetime ago, it wasn't this one, with Tony Gustavsson's preference to play a more transitional game. There were times when we saw it come to life, times when it broke down, and times when it didn't look like there was a plan at all. That's natural, given the circumstances: players are at the end of their seasons, many have had to be managed carefully, and chemistry can't just be built overnight when you're throwing together an unfamiliar team under a new coach who says he only knows one way of working. Behind the Matildas: Leanne Hall, Emanuele Chiappero, Joe Palatsides, head coach Joe Montemurro, Tony Franken and Emily Husband. Credit: Getty Images Fortunately, it's unlikely to get worse. The players to come in are more technically adept at executing Montemurro's plan, though being able to limit turnovers and stroke the ball around for long periods has proven a challenge for many of them in the past. And the ones who had a taste of it in this window can go away and work on what they know they'll be asked to do next time they're called in. Most people thought Paris 2024 would be Gorry's last tournament. Now she's about to turn 33 but she's still kicking around. But does she come straight back into this team when she's fit again? Should she, given the progress made by Wheeler (a late withdrawal from this window) and Cooney-Cross as a tandem midfield pairing? And where does Emily van Egmond fit into the picture, if anywhere? Matildas veteran Katrina Gorry. Credit: Visionhaus via Getty Images Montemurro rifled through a bunch of different combinations in this window – including the use of Kennedy as a defensive midfielder, which is where she plays for Angel City FC – to try and figure out how many viable options he may have to work with in future. Going back to the likes of Alex Chidiac and Chloe Berryhill didn't go too well, and opinion is split as ever on van Egmond. If the Asian Cup was tomorrow, the make-up of the midfield would be anyone's guess right now. Montemurro really needs to get some flying hours into the ones he deems to be first-choice to help them build up as much synergy as they can, as quickly as they can. Sayer was 16 years old when made her international debut at the 2018 Tournament of Nations – in the same window as Fowler, who was 15. But as Fowler's career exploded in the ensuing years, Sayer chose to take the US college route, and became a bit out of sight, out of mind. An ACL injury amplified that. She came close, but Gustavsson never picked her in the squad for a major tournament. Amy Sayer and Joe Montemurro. Credit: Getty Images Now 23, Sayer has come on in leaps and bounds. She has been arguably the 'find' of the last few months, stealing the spotlight in Tom Sermanni's final games in charge and then keeping that momentum rolling under Montemurro. Best used as a No.10, she can also play out wide in attack, and her poise and vision are, if not Fowler-esque, then of the same genre. She can be a huge player for the Matildas for many years to come. For once! The emergence of Jamilla Rankin and the development of Courtney Nevin and Charli Grant mean that Montemurro will have the incredible luxury of using Catley as a centre-back. Matildas defender Jamilla Rankin (right) in action against Panama. Credit: Getty Images And with Clare Hunt kicking on and Heatley making big strikes, there's now red-hot competition for who should partner her – as well as, in the case of Kennedy, the possibility of more time anchoring the midfield rather than the back four. Factor in Carpenter on the other side, who will no doubt be rejuvenated by her move to Chelsea, and the Matildas suddenly have what they've not really had in a number of years: true depth in defence. We mentioned van Egmond and Gorry before. What about Tameka Yallop? Or Emily Gielnik? For every player like Hayley Raso or Michelle Heyman who can demonstrate their unarguable worth to the team, there's a fellow veteran who might be coasting along on reputation rather than currency. The idea of peak van Egmond, for example, is compelling. But how often do we see that idea in a match? Same goes for Chidiac. And while some of these established players are vital for dressing room morale, or in the case of Yallop and Gielnik are incredibly versatile, at what point do they risk being overtaken by emerging talents who can offer as much, if not more? Are we there yet? Possibly. Emily van Egmond. Credit: Getty Images These are the sort of questions Montemurro needs to consider carefully. If he can't see a future for a player at Matildas level, and can't be sure that someone else couldn't do their job better at the Asian Cup, then he needs to tap them on the shoulder, because every minute matters right now. She's still not back, but she's inching closer. Kerr linked up with the team again in Perth to continue her rehabilitation, and joined training drills for the first time since her ACL injury – her comeback from which has been hampered by what have been vaguely described as mere 'complications' by those in the know. The Women's Super League doesn't start until September 6, so the 31-year-old still has a bit of time to build up to that point – then we can expect to see her in green and gold during the October window. Maybe. Though Heyman showed she's still got something to offer at international level with a well-taken brace on Tuesday night (erasing the memory of that horrific point-blank miss on Saturday), and Holly McNamara is looking like the long-term heir to that striking position, there's no doubt that a fit, firing Kerr will make the Matildas a substantially better team in so many ways.

From Olivia Rodrigo To Andrew Garfield, Here's All The Celebrities At Wimbledon This Year
We're in the first fortnight of July, and that can only mean one thing: Wimbledon. With the start of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships for 2025, comes the chance for us to partake in our favourite activity aka celeb spotting. Because Wimbledon is the place to be. In fact, because everyone wants to see Wimbledon (or at least be seen at Wimbledon) it can often become a fun marker of A-list relationships as well as unexpected celeb friendships. So far this year, actors Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro have confirmed their relationship and we've seen American singer Olivia Rodrigo and her British actor boyfriend Louis Partridge enjoying the company of former Olympic diver Tom Daley. And there's plenty more where that came from. Thanks to sponsors like Evian and Ralph Lauren, a whole host of celebs have attended Wimbledon this year. For our favourites, take a gander at the selection below.
