The 22-year-old Osijek tennis player shined in the US capital this week and made the best jump yet in the WTA rankings.

Vekić won the game in just 72 minutes.

Borna Ćorić and Petra Martić are in the second round while Ivo Karlović and Ana Konjuh were knocked out in the first. Donna Vekić players her first round match today, and Marin Čilić hits the court tomorrow against James Duckworth. 

Petra Martić and Donna Vekić advanced to the 2nd round of a very strong WTA tournament in Rome, after having no serious problems against Ukraine's Lesia Viktorivna Tsurenko and Spain’s Carla Suarez Navarro.

With plenty of Croatian sports buzz circulating the state of Florida this week, though not all positive (see the Croatia national football team defeat here), we can at least have hope for Croatia’s tennis stars who are moving their way up at the Miami Open.

Ana Konjuh is just one step away from the world Top 20.

Croatian tennis player Ana Konjuh was defeated on Saturday in the 2nd round of the WTY tournament in Indian Wells by Chinese Peng Shuai with 6-4, 6-2, Donna Vekić lost to Romanian Simone Halep with 6-4, 6-1, while Marin Čilić didn’t make it past the first round of the same tournament

Croatian tennis player Donna Vekić moved on to the second round of the Australian Open after defeating on Tuesday with 7-5, 6-3 Aussie Lizette Cabrera

Ivo Karlović won the Croatian clash against Borna Čorić in the first round of Wimbledon.
