Wimbledon 2023 is in full swing, and Croatian tennis fans have every reason to celebrate! Donna Vekić, our top female player, stormed into the second round with a smashing 6-0, 6-4 victory over Australian Kimberly Birrell. Yes, you read that right — Donna didn’t lose a single service game in her opening match! After the match, Vekić was thrilled: “It’s never easy on the court, but this was a really good start. I won the first set at the entire Wimbledon and I hope to win the last one too!” Her motivation is sky-high, and grass courts clearly suit her — just look at last year when she reached the semifinals.
But wait, there’s more! On the men’s side, Novak Djokovic, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, is gearing up to show why he’s still the king of London. In an interview with Sportklub, Novak revealed that Wimbledon is his “best chance” to win a Grand Slam this year. Currently ranked sixth in the world, with his first opponent being Frenchman Alexandre Muller, Djokovic is ready to fight for every point. “Wimbledon means a lot to me, I grew up dreaming about this tournament,” Novak said, making it clear his motivation is at an all-time high.
Both Donna and Novak prove that Croatia and Serbia have serious contenders on the London grass. While Donna plans to chill with some ice cream before her next match against Spain’s Cristina Bucsa, Novak is laser-focused on his first match on July 1st. The quality of tennis is top-notch, and both our stars are ready to battle for the title. Thought Wimbledon would be boring? Think again!
Will Donna continue her march to the trophy? Will Novak finally snag another Grand Slam? One thing’s for sure — Wimbledon 2023 promises a spectacle! What do you think?
