Aussie tennis fans have made a cheeky update to Danielle Collins' Wikipedia page after she was booed off the court following her defeat to fellow American Madison Keys on Saturday. Collins, 31, became a pantomime villain at Melbourne Park after sarcastically hitting back at her hecklers, having defeated home favourite Destanee Aiava in the second round on Thursday before bragging about earning a 'big fat cheque'.

She also blew kisses at the crowd, cupped her ear and even slapped her backside. One critic took exception to her behaviour, scathingly labelling her a 'brat', and there was no love lost when she returned to the court for her third round tie. Collins, the 10th seed in the women's singles, smiled after being given a mixed reception when she walked out on centre court at Rod Laver Arena.

But cheers soon went up when she made her first double fault and despite showing glimpses of a fightback in the second set, Collins was downed 6-4 6-4. Danielle Collins crashed out of the Australian Open after losing to Madison Keys. The celebrations were equally enthusiastic online, with one Aussie making a change to Collins' Wikipedia entry.

Collins endured a miserable display and also required a medical timeout at 4-3 down in the second set, with heavy strapping then applied to her left leg. After crashing out, she walked off the court to more audible jeers and made a gesture to fans as she headed for the exit.
