Donna Vekić[1] is a Croatian tennis player, accomplished in singles. Her breakthrough came in 2019 when she reached her first quarterfinal at a Grand Slam championship, at the US Open,[2] which brought her into the top 20 of the WTA rankings.[3] In her prize collection, she has three WTA Tour singles titles,[1] as well as five singles titles and one doubles title on the ITF Circuit.[4] In addition, she has played one Premier-level tournament, the 2019 St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy, as the biggest final of her career.[5] She also has played in national competitions for Croatia including Fed Cup[6] and Olympic Games.[7] At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she made her biggest win so far, defeating world No. 3, Aryna Sabalenka.[8] She used to be Croatian number one a couple of times.[5][9]
