Donna Vekic Debuts Bangs, Makes Waves at US Open
Donna Vekic, the Croatian tennis star, has made waves at the US Open not only with her impressive performances but also with her bold new hairstyle. The Olympic silver medalist recently debuted bangs, a daring move that has sparked a buzz among fans and media alike.
During a press conference, Vekic couldn’t resist sharing her excitement about her new look. “Nobody is going to ask me about my bangs? I just cut them,” she exclaimed, interrupting a question about tournament traffic.
Vekic’s decision to cut bangs stems from a long-held desire to experiment with her appearance. “I’ve always wanted to cut my bangs, but a friend pushed me to do it,” she said with a laugh.
Beyond her new hairstyle, Vekic has been making headlines with her strong play at the US Open. Coming off a career-revitalizing season, she has already reached the second week of the tournament, her best result in New York since 2019.
“I didn’t come to New York thinking I was going to win the US Open,” Vekic admitted. “But once you get through the first couple of rounds, everything is possible.”
The 24th seed believes that every player has a chance to win a Grand Slam, emphasizing the importance of feeling confident and playing well on the day. “It’s the toughest thing ever in tennis, but I do believe I have a chance,” she said.
Despite her success on grass, Vekic has struggled with the quickening court conditions at the US Open. However, she has gradually adjusted to the surface, citing her improved serving as a key factor in her recent victories.
“If I’m serving well, it helps me get some free points,” she said.
In the next round, Vekic faces a rematch of the Olympic final against No. 7 seed Zheng Qinwen. The Croatian star is determined to continue her impressive run and match her best US Open result.
