The controversial tennis player who became public enemy No.1 at this year’s Australian Open<\/a> has declared she doesn’t want a ‘short king’ as she enters the dating world again.<\/p>\n

American Danielle Collins, who blew kisses to booing Aussie fans at Melbourne Park in January, shared her ruthless dating profile and demands for a partner after recently becoming single.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old’s relationship with Bryan Kipp ended last month after a year together and she even hinted that she would be open to entering ‘The Bachelorette<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

The world number 63 is now on dating apps and there’s no room for a short man or someone who can’t support her as a stay-at-home mum.<\/p>\n

‘Currently a professional tennis player, but kind of aspiring to be a trad wife. Straight up,’ her profile reads.<\/p>\n

‘Already had my boss babe era. Just wanting to raise my chickens, do home projects, make freshly baked sourdough, be a stay-at-home dog mom, and hopefully pop out some babies soon.<\/p>\n

Collins has gone viral for her demanding expectations for a future partner\u00a0<\/p>\n

Collins taunts the crowd at the Australian Open earlier this year<\/p>\n

‘If you’re going to lie about your height just leave me the f*** alone. This is a no short kings zone.’<\/p>\n

Oh, and you’ve got to have cash despite the fact Collins has earned more than US$10million in her career to date.<\/p>\n

‘I’ll tell you what \u2026 if anyone has the balls to slide into my DM like this just make sure to attach your most recent bank statement while you’re at it,’ she wrote.<\/p>\n

One man even sent her his bank account, showing it had millions in it.<\/p>\n

Collins then said on her Instagram: ‘Modern love \u2026 okay I’m getting off the internet now.’<\/p>\n

During ‘The Gay Tennis Podcast’, Collins was asked: ‘You mentioned that you’re single and that maybe you’re potentially on The Bachelorette. Would you consider reality TV?’<\/p>\n

Collins replied: ‘I would consider maybe going on reality TV, but it depends. Like I don’t know if they can afford me. Listen, you know what I mean?<\/p>\n

‘Cuz this is like some blockbuster entertainment right here, right?<\/p>\n

‘I mean, I would definitely consider it, but where would I be doing the Bachelorette? Like which country do you think? Like Australia.’<\/p>\n

Collins created headlines at the Australian Open earlier this year when she got into a shouting match with the crowd after eliminating Aussie Destanee Aiava.<\/p>\n

She blew kisses to the booing fans, making fun of them for being old, and slapped her bum in front of the furious crowd.<\/p>\n

Before she walked off the court she told fans they were contributing to the ‘Danielle Collins Fund’ and she was going to go on a five-star holiday with the money earned in Australia.<\/p>\n

‘It’s wonderful that I can capitalise on these opportunities,’ she said.<\/p>\n

‘I think that six different sponsorship opportunities come up this tournament alone. That’s a great signal for me.<\/p>\n

‘Obviously, like I said, every fan contributes to that. It’s been a real blessing.’<\/p>\n
