Ali Collins (born 27 May 2000) is a British tennis player.

Collins has a career-high doubles ranking of world No. 110, achieved on 26 June 2023.[1]

Personal life

[edit]

From Dunblane, she is the daughter of former professional footballer Lee Collins.[2] She began to be coached by Judy Murray from the age of seven. She has said she switched to concentrate on doubles because she is “a team player” and struggled with aspects of being alone on tour.[3]
