The good moment that Donna Vekic was going through has been abruptly stopped at the WTA Cincinnati after losing in her debut. The Croatian suffered against the local player, Ashlyn Krueger, who defeated her in a tight match with a score of 5-7 7-6(4) 6-2. Vekic had just won the silver medal at the Olympic Games, a tournament played on clay court. Perhaps, the quick change of surface has not suited her well in adapting to the hardcourt, something she needs to do looking ahead to the US Open.
