Donna Vekic vs Viktorija Golubic prediction
Donna Vekic won her fifth WTA singles title in June, beating home favourite Emma Raducanu in the final of Queen’s Club. However, the 30-year-old failed to generate any further momentum for the rest of the grass court season, suffering early exits in Berlin and Wimbledon. She has not featured on the tour since her first-round defeat to Ashlyn Krueger at SW19. Vekic is seeded for this event and received a bye.
She faces Viktorija Golubic in round two. The Swiss defeated Kimberley Birrell in her first-round match, winning 7-6 (7) 6-4. The head-to-head between her and Vekic is locked at 1-1. Golubic defeated Vekic in straight sets three years ago at the Nottingham Open, but Vekic won their most recent encounter in Beijing. She came from a set down to win 4-6 7-6 (3) 6-4.
The key battle will revolve around whether Vekic can consistently impose herself behind her serve and forehand. If Golubic is able to neutralise the Croatian’s power, she has every chance of making this a closely fought encounter.
