Donna Vekic almost gave up on tennis before storming into her first Grand Slam semi-final at Wimbledon, while Lulu Sun made an impressive quarterfinal appearance as a qualifier. Read on for the thrilling details!

Donna Vekic var tæt på at opgive tennis, men nu er hun i Wimbledon-turneringen og har netop nået sin første Grand Slam-semifinale. Efter at have overvundet knæoperationen i 2021, kæmpede Vekic sig tilbage for at nå sit bedste niveau. I en imponerende sejr over kvalifikationsspilleren Lulu Sun, vendte Vekic kampen efter at have tabt første sæt. Samtidig havde Lulu Sun, tidligere Texas-stjerne, en eventyrlig løb ved Wimbledon, hvor hun som kvalifikationsspiller nåede kvartfinalen - en præstation kun opnået af syv spillere tidligere.

På den modsatte side af herresiden besejrede Daniil Medvedev Jannik Sinner og står nu over for Carlos Alcaraz i Wimbledon-semifinalerne. Medvedev, den snedige 2021 US Open-mester, viste igen sit talent og sikrede sig en plads i semifinalen på All England Club. Donna Vekic og Lulu Sun har begge skabt spænding og overraskelser under årets Wimbledon-turnering, der har fansen på kanten af deres sæder og venter spændt på at se, hvad der sker i de næste kampe.

I en dedikeret præstation nåede Donna Vekic sin første Grand Slam-semifinale, efter at have kæmpet sig tilbage fra modgang. Lulu Sun, den tidligere Texas-stjerne, skrev historie ved at nå kvartfinalen som kvalifikationsspiller, hvilket beviser, at talent og træning kan føre til imponerende resultater.
