Croatian star Vekic believes Philippine Women’s Open huge boost for local tennis

Описание: Breaking:
CROATIAN tennis star Donna Vekic is banking that the first Philippine Women’s Open can boost the sport’s further development in the country, paving the way for the next generation players who will follow in the footsteps of current sensation Alex Eala.
“It is amazing to ride on the wave on Alex’s fame and what she brings to the country, making it more aware of tennis. I guess that many kids are now starting to play tennis because of her,” said Vekic yesterday on the eve of her women’s singles opening round debut.
“Who knows? You may have another star (like Alex) soon,” added the Paris Olympic Games women’s singles silver medalist of the impact of the inaugural WTA 125 tournament in the country supported by the Philippine Sports Commission.
She advised the aspiring young netters “to work hard, be yourself and enjoy the game.”
Ranked No. 72 in the world and seeded fourth, the Paris Olympic Games silver medalist is set to play Japan’s Kyoko Nakamura (No. 310) in one of the featured matches today.
“I am hoping to play aggressive. A good first serve helps my game, and it helps me a lot to be more consistent. Yeah (I aim) to dominate the court with my play,” added Vekic.
