Considered to be one of Britain's most promising young players in the 1990s, at a time when British tennis was doing particularly poorly, she reached the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon juniors' tournament, and was the national 14, 16 and 18 year old age group champion.[1]
She played her first match on the ITF circuit in 1997 and her final professional match at the Wimbledon qualifying event in 2005. During her career, she reached a total of seven ITF singles finals (winning three) and managed to notch up a victory over former British number one, Sam Smith.[2] She also managed to beat Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters.
After retiring, Collin became a tennis coach. She is currently a coach at the All England Club at Wimbledon.[3]
