Grass court excellence: Vekic joins elite company in reaching Berlin final with four grass court championship matches in the last 10 years
WTASaturday, 24 June 2023 at 21:30
Donna Vekic has reached the final of the Bett1 Open Berlin with another semi-final loss for Maria Sakkari.
Vekic saw off Sakkari 6-4, 7-6 in the end and as a result reached a fourth career grass court final.
Always a threat on this surface, she joins finals in Birmingham and two in Nottingham with the latter gleaming a title.
She faces either Ekaterina Alexandrova and Petra Kvitova at time of writing, one a winner last week on the surface in Holland. The other a former Wimbledon champion.
Only Karolina Pliskova (six) and Angelique Kerber as well as Belinda Bencic (five) have reached more grass court final.
Staying power from the Croatian who will hope this season is her big Wimbledon breakthrough.

- Poor Emma has 3 problems I can see from the peanut gallery: 1. She has not shown the comittment it takes; tennis has not been her priority. 2. Her body seems to fail. Frailty is not an athlete's friend. 3. She is throwing everything at the wall to keep her sponsors.mandoist07-12-2024
- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
- Jess!!! Good PC response. However most of us aren't about to "trust" ITIA. But then, we are not under their watch like you all.
