The Croatian player returns to Wimbledon, where last year she reached the semifinals before winning the silver medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, a milestone that changed her perspective on tennis.
Donna Vekic
And when I say famous, I don't mean veteran, although it must be recognized that Sascha Bajin is no longer a child. The man who entered the circuit as a hitting partner for Serena Williams before moving to the coaching bench with players of the caliber of Naomi Osaka, Kristina Mladenovic, Karolina Pliskova, Dayana Yastremska, and Alycia Parks. To this list now adds Donna Vekic, the brilliant silver medalist at the latest Olympics. An interesting move by the Croatian, who has decided to seek a different partner to continue making headlines in 2025. What do you think of this team?
Donna Vekic has added Sascha Bajin to her team for the 2025 season.

It could be said without fear of being wrong, that the match between Qinwen Zheng and Donna Vekic has been one of the most exciting matches of the tournament so far. The Chinese player once again emerged victorious in a rematch of the Olympic final, which was just as competitive, if not more, than a few weeks ago. While the Croatian player seemed stronger in the first set, the tie-break was somewhat disastrous and Zheng took advantage of it. A high intensity match that secured the Chinese player a spot in the quarterfinals. Next up? Aryna Sabalenka. (7-6(2), 4-6, 6-2)

Madison Keys had to roll up her sleeves to overcome her round of 16 match at Indian Wells 2025. The American player, ranked 5th in the world, managed to defeat Donna Vekic with a score of 4-6, 7-6(9), and 6-3 in 2 hours and 19 minutes of play, including a comeback while saving a match point against her in the second set. Resilient from the back of the court, Madison advances to the quarterfinals, where she will face Belinda Bencic.

Donna Vekic has emerged as one of the great positive surprises of the season. The Croatian has achieved fantastic results on important stages and also aims to make an impact in the Asian tour. She didn't have an easy start at the WTA Wuhan 2024, trailing behind the always competitive Elise Mertens, but she showed courage and determination to display her best version and get back to the path of victory (3-6, 6-1, 6-3). A great opportunity for the Croatian to top off her season, perhaps with the best possible title (a WTA 1000).

Donna Vekic is having a great summer, reclaiming that version of herself as a player capable of beating anyone and aiming for great achievements. After being a Wimbledon semifinalist and winning a silver medal in Paris 2024, the Croatian is dreaming big at this US Open 2024. "When I arrived, I didn't think I could win the tournament, but once you win a match, anything is possible. I am playing the best tennis of my life and I am more motivated than ever," declared the Croatian, who will face Qinwen Zheng, her opponent in the Olympic final.

Great evening of tennis being experienced at the US Open 2024, with exciting matches in the women's draw and the round of 16 almost defined. Emma Navarro achieved a great victory against Kostyuk, by 6-4 4-6 6-3, and will face Cori Gauff in the fourth round. Additionally, Donna Vekic dashed Stearns' hopes and will now face Qinwen Zheng.

The good moment that Donna Vekic was going through has been abruptly stopped at the WTA Cincinnati after losing in her debut. The Croatian suffered against the local player, Ashlyn Krueger, who defeated her in a tight match with a score of 5-7 7-6(4) 6-2. Vekic had just won the silver medal at the Olympic Games, a tournament played on clay court. Perhaps, the quick change of surface has not suited her well in adapting to the hardcourt, something she needs to do looking ahead to the US Open.

Donna Vekic did not manage to defeat Qinwen Zheng in the Olympic final in Paris, but she ended up taking home a silver medal with a taste of gold. In a press conference, the Croatian expressed great pride in this achievement: "It's silver with a golden shine. We will celebrate this medal. I will sleep with it for six months, no more, because we will start the new year with new goals. I am very proud and happy to have won a medal for Croatia, I have realized my lifelong dream. The day I won the semifinal was one of the happiest of my life. Now I am a little disappointed because I wanted the gold, but Zheng was better. I can't forget or diminish what I have done these weeks."

The day arrived when women's tennis handed out the medals in these Paris 2024 Olympic Games, with Qinwen Zheng being the recipient of that coveted gold medal. Thus, the Chinese player became the first individual player from her country, male or female, to taste the golden prize in its entire history. On the other hand, Donna Vekic took home the silver, becoming the first Croatian to reach an Olympic final. Finally, Iga Swiatek completed the podium with the bronze medal, which perhaps felt a bit insufficient. That's how the players posed after an intense week. Congratulations to all three!
