Tennis star Danielle Collins is looking for love on a popular dating app following her split from ex-boyfriend.

American tennis player Collins met ex-boyfriend Bryan Kipp, a vice president of a biotech firm, in a coffee shop in Wimbledon, but the pair have since split.

It is not known exactly what led to the breakup, but the 2022 Australian Open finalist has recently spoken out on podcasts to confirm she is now single.

The split has led to some of Collins' fans wondering what her future dating plans are, and it appears that the 31-year-old is keen to move on quickly as she's revealed to fans that she's set up her own dating profile.

But, unfortunately for some Collins has made it clear exactly what she's looking for in a brutal message that isn't good news for shorter men.

Taking to her Instagram story, Collins asked her followers for advice on anything that she should add to her new profile on Raya, a dating app limited to celebrities and other high-profile industry individuals.

However, there is one thing that the tennis star has made it abundantly clear in her bio already, she does not want to date a 'short king'.

Her bio read: "Currently a professional tennis player, but kind of aspiring to be a trad wife. Straight up. Already had my boss babe era.

"Just wanting to raise my chickens, do home projects, make freshly baked sourdough, be a stay at home dog mom, and hopefully pop out some babies soon. If you’re going to lie about your height just leave me the f*** alone. This is a no short kings zone."

In another story, which has since been deleted, Collins shared a message from a fan who was brave enough to shoot his shot with the American, adding that those interested should also included a bank statement.

She wrote: "I’ll tell you what… if anyone has the balls to slide into my dm like this just make sure to attach your most recent bank statement while you’re at it."

And it appears it's more than just dating apps that Collins would be willing to use in order to find herself a new partner, as she recently opened up about her willingness to go on a dating reality TV show, if the price was right.

Speaking on the 'The Gay Tennis Podcast' that she stated: "I would consider maybe going on reality TV, but it depends. Like I don't know if they can afford me. Listen, you know what I mean? Because this is like some blockbuster entertainment right here, right?

"You would have to really pay out the big bucks to get me on, like you know The Bachelorette and that kind of thing... yeah. I mean, I would definitely consider it,
