Donna Vekic wanted to quit tennis in May. She's one win from an Olympic gold medal

On the eve of a tennis tournament, a professional player named Donna Vekic experienced a crisis of motivation and considered quitting the sport altogether. Despite these doubts, she decided to play in the tournament but suffered a painful defeat. However, just two months later, Vekic has defied expectations and reached the Olympic women’s singles gold medal match, securing at least a silver medal. This achievement marks a significant milestone in her career, as her previous titles have been at a lower level. Vekic’s success can be attributed to her powerful serve, mental resilience, and ability to reset during matches.
