Danielle Collins got ahead of herself in a big way at the Australian Open on Wednesday when the American was left red-faced due to a rule book misunderstanding.
Last year's runner-up in Melbourne came back from a set down to beat Karolina Muchova in the second round, where a tiebreak decider was needed to separate the two. In many tennis competitions, the first player to reach seven by a clear margin of two points would usually be declared the victor.
Clearly under the impression that was the case in Melbourne, Collins dropped her racquet to the floor and pointed to the sky after moving 7-3 up in the decisive set's tiebreak. However, it was only seconds later that the penny dropped and reality set in.
