Collins is working as a pundit at the Miami Open, but turned her analysis to a very different subject over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The 32-year-old American is out injured, so has had a microphone, rather than a tennis racquet in hand in Miami. And her work for the Tennis Channel caused a bit of stir on Sunday, with French star Moutet thrust into the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Moutet, the world No.33, beat Tomas Machac on Saturday &#8211; but it was the events before that match which got Collins&#8217; attention. She wasn&#8217;t shy in explaining the situation in a tell-all segment on the Tennis Channel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Presenter Steve Weissman began: &#8220;So yesterday at the beginning of the show, Danielle, Corentin Moutet was practising, getting ready for his match, and he was shouting at you, he was cat-calling you, he was saying &#8216;give me a come on, give me a let&#8217;s go&#8217;.

Some people think it comes down to height, some people think it comes down to personality, but really what it comes down to is big forehands and big serves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Asked if that is what she needed to get flirted with, Collins replied: &#8220;Around here, yes. But yeah, it was kind of funny too because he unfollowed me after my darting profile went viral when I said I wasn&#8217;t interested in the short kings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;You have to understand that I&#8217;m 5&#8217;10, and for me, right, it&#8217;s fair. It&#8217;s just a preference, I have nothing against the short kings. But he was upset about that and he messaged me and unfollowed me.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"image-group\"><button class=\"SlideViewerButton_slide-viewer-button__BDJoG\" aria-label=\"Open image viewer\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-controls=\"image-lightbox\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"ImageEmbed_image-embed__0T8WX false\" data-testid=\"imageembed-36907629\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-articleid=\"36907629\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"image\">\n<div class=\"ImageEmbed_image-container__2AIQm\">\n<figure class=\"Figure_figure__Uce4f\" style=\"--figure-aspect-ratio:1.5\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Corentin Moutet \" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 458px) 458px, (max-width: 615px) 615px, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article36907629.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_GettyImages-2261803225.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article36907629.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458b\/0_GettyImages-2261803225.jpg 458w, https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article36907629.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_GettyImages-2261803225.jpg 615w, https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article36907629.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_GettyImages-2261803225.jpg 1200w\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"ImageCaption_caption__j7HRu\" data-testid=\"image-caption\">\n<p aria-label=\"Corentin Moutet's serve is not big enough for Danielle Collins\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Corentin Moutet&#8217;s serve is not big enough for Danielle Collins<cite aria-label=\"Image: Mauricio Paiz\/NurPhoto via Getty Images\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-credit__wlx1W\" data-testid=\"caption-credit\">(Image: Mauricio Paiz\/NurPhoto via Getty Images)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;He slid back into the DMs last night asking me if I saw his match and all the big serves that he was hitting.
