Danielle Collins has shown her fiery side once again after blowing up at a cameraman at the Strasbourg Open.

Up against Brit Emma Raducanu, Collins was leading 4-6, 6-1, 4-3 as both players took a break.

With the camera focused on her from behind the umpire's stand, Collins spoke to the camera operator, pointing for him to move to the side so she could fill her water bottle.

Instead of moving onto the tennis court, the cameraman stepped back, much to the disapproval of Collins.

"No, no, no, I need to get water. We're in a changeover, you don't need to be that close to me and you don't need to be on top of Emma," she said.

"It's like widely inappropriate," she continued, looking up to the umpire.

"It's not that difficult to give space."

Collins then looked at Raducanu and said sorry.

Raducanu was noticeably standing right next to the camera.

As she approached the court, Collins said to the umpire "you need to get that man out of here".

Collins managed to finish off the set 6-3 to win the match.

The American caused a stir at the Australian Open when she engaged in a tit-for-tat with the Aussie fans.

While playing Destanee Aiava she told the crowd to "shut up" when there was an interruption and then produced one of the more memorable showboats when she won.
