Destanee Aiava wrote “god motherf***ing damn it c***” on social media minutes after her fiery defeat to Danielle Collins at the Australian Open.
The home star was embroiled in a battle with Collins, who made her intentions clear towards the booing Aussie crowd on several occasions as she claimed a 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-2 win.
Collins cupped her ears to the crowd after securing victory, before taunting them further by blowing kisses in their direction and mocking them in her on-court interview.
But shortly after walking off the court, having reached the second round for the first time in her career, Aiava fumed on X (formerly known as Twitter) while replying to her own post with “loser” and a GIF of herself.
She deleted the posts just over 30 minutes later, explaining: “I’ve been advised to delete my tweet but I screenshot it for memories.”
