The American cupped her hand to her ear, blew kisses to the crowd and even tapped her bum after beating Aussie Aiava.
Collins, 31, said: “During the match I was like, while I’m out here I might as well take that big fat pay check.
“We love a five star vacation, so a big part of that will go towards that.
“So thank you guys, thanks for coming out here and supporting us tonight. Thank you guys, love you.”
She added: “I think there were a lot of people that were super drunk and had a hard time controlling themselves and were really excited.”
Collins is the 10th seed of the tournament and has already guaranteed herself £147,000 ($180,000) by reaching round three.
She said: “Well I’m going to be here for two hours, putting up with all these people, I might as well take the bigger pay check, right?’
“I was super happy to do that and one of the greatest things about being a professional athlete are that the people that don’t like you and that hate you, they actually pay your bills.

“It’s kind of a cool concept and obviously my professional career is not going to last forever and I just remind myself every day when I have that kind of stuff that they’re paying my bills.
“Every person that has bought a ticket and has come out here to heckle me can do what they do.
“It’s all going towards the Danielle Collins fund. So like, yeah, bring it on I love it.”
Collins – who decided to reverse her retirement decision at the end of last season – plans to take a luxury trip to the Bahamas with her mates.
She said: “Me and my girlfriends we love a five-star holiday so I can guarantee that next check is going to go towards a five-star trip, hopefully to the Bahamas.
“We like boats. Big boats. We like yachts. Yeah, we’ll post about it and let you guys know how it goes.”
