After antagonizing the Australian Open crowd during and after her second-round match, Danielle Collins received a cold welcome from the fans as she took the court for her third-round matchup with Madison Keys.

Danielle Collins appeared to revel in playing the part of pantomime villain at the Australian Open on Thursday as she took down home favorite Destanee Aiava 7-6, 4-6, 6-2 in front of a raucous crowd.

Danielle Collins embraced her 'villain' tag at the Australian Open and delivered one final salvo to home fans on Saturday night after being bundled out in the third round by compatriot Madison Keys. Collins was no match for her fellow American after bowing out in a 6-4 6-4 defeat that saw her subjected to more crowd hostility that some viewers labelled "disgraceful" and "disgusting" on social media.
