I was not expecting a win! And certainly not in straight sets--and not with a breadstick!

Very impressive from Donna!

She plays Chilumula Nidhi for a QF spot. Don't know who this girl is, but she has a terrible record. Good luck Donna!

NIDhi? Sounds winnable for Donna.

With today's win she'll move just inside the top 600. If she wins her next match she'll move up to ~560. That would be a very nice jump in the rankings.

According to Chilumula's scores, Donna is favorite.

Chilumula won only one match in main draw on five 10 000 $ tournaments this year.Her ranking is #1211.

Big chance for Donna!!!

In July Donna was the eighth-highest ranked pro player born after 1995.

In early August she was the sixth-highest ranked.

In late August, she was the fourth-highest ranked.

She's now the third-highest ranked:

1. #422 Taylor Townsend (16/04/96) ... 89 pts (5 tournaments)
2. #545 Ashleigh Barty (24/04/96) ... 56 pts (5 tournaments)
3. #640 Donna Vekic (28/06/96) ... 37 pts (5 tournaments)
4. #646 Anne-Liz Jeukeng-Nkamgouo (26/05/96) ... 36 pts (8 tournaments)
5. #650 Marianna Zakarlyuk (22/09/96) ... 35 pts (5 tournaments)

And she could become the second highest if she reaches the semifinals here i.e. makes two more wins. Based on how she started this tournament (impressively), I wouldn't call it impossible.

Go for it girl!

Donna Vekic is in quarterfinals, last 8 !! Today she beat Chilumula 6:0 6:1

okramb · Oct 19th, 2011, 11:14 AM

As expected!!!That means minimum 14 new points!!!

Hele. · Oct 19th, 2011, 01:06 PM

Awesome!

She should be playing one of these players: [1] Bratchikova, [2] Floris, [4] Perrin or Fourouclas.

^ Ridiculous that it's Thursday already and there's still no draw on the ITF site...

okramb · Oct 20th, 2011, 10:32 AM

It seems like Donna will play in QF against Natasha Fourouclas from South Africa.

Fourouclas is #838 on the wta list and is 2.5 years older than Donna.Her best result this year is QF on 10 000$ tournament in Durban.

It's very winnable for Donna if she plays against her.
