Donna Vekic reaches second round at Wimbledon

Croat Donna Vekic edged out Chinese Xiyu Wang 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the second round of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Monday evening.

Vekic, ranked No 37, will face the winner of the match between American Emina Bektas and Russian lucky loser Erika Andreeva next.

The Croatian’s best performance to date at Wimbledon is reaching the round of 16 in 2018. She was slated to potentially face Aryna Sabalenka in the second round, but the Belarusian pulled out on Monday due to a shoulder injury.
