Collins calledSwiatek'insincere' aftertheir Paris Olympics match
After retiring injured in the third set of their Olympics quarterfinal, the Americanripped the 23-year-old as "insincere."
Theres a lot that happens off-camera, and there are a lot of people with a ton of charisma who come out and act one way on camera and another way in the locker room. I just havent had the best experience, and I dont really feel like anybody needs to be insincere. They can be the way they are. I can accept that, but I dont need the fakeness, Collins said in her post-match presser at the time.
Some strong words were sent Swiatek's way that day but she tired to de-escalate it.
I think it's better to ask her. I would rather not get into these because that's her last year on tour. I haven't had a chance actually to tell her that, you know, she had a great journey and she really played well," the Pole said when asked what was her reaction to the American's comments.
