Danielle Collins bursts into tears and screams 'why is this happening to me' during match

Danielle Collins shrieked "why is this happening" during her Cincinnati Open clash against Taylor Townsend on Friday afternoon. Townsend ran out a comfortable straight sets winner, defeating her countrywoman 6-4, 7-6 (7-2) in the opening round of the competition.

It's been a taxing couple of months for Collins, who has struggled for form ever since the French Open. In fact, on just one occasion since Roland-Garros has the world No.57 won more than two matches at a tournament.

That came as last month's Wimbledon, when Collins reached the third round of the Championships, losing to eventual winner Iga Swiatek. But since returning to North America, Collins was dumped out in the opening round at the Washington Open, before suffering a second-round defeat at the recent Canadian Open.
