Donna Vekic Searching for a Reset

Donna Vekic enjoyed a strong run to the fourth round of the Australian Open last season, which raised expectations for 2025.

Instead, the Croat struggled badly, winning just 11 matches across 20 tournaments and sliding toward the edge of the top 100.

There was a late boost when she reached the quarterfinals in Chennai, her first last-eight showing since the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Her 2026 season started on a disappointing note, though, with a first-round loss to Alexandra Eala in Auckland.

Mirra Andreeva Back to Her Best

Mirra Andreeva’s 2025 season was disrupted by an ankle injury, forcing her to end the year early after winning just four matches following Wimbledon.

She has responded strongly in the new season, reaching the Brisbane quarterfinals before going on to lift the title in Adelaide.

Her Adelaide run was ruthless. Andreeva did not drop a set across four matches and never lost more than three games in any set.

She sealed the title by beating Diana Shnaider and Victoria Mboko, claiming her first trophy since back-to-back WTA 1000 wins in Dubai and Indian Wells.
