Donna Vekic shrugged off a service meltdown on Tuesday to reach the Wimbledon semifinals and end the fairytale run of New Zealand qualifier Lulu Sun.
The Croatian, ranked 37th in the world, came back from a set down under the roof on Court No 1 to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 and reach the last four at a Grand Slam for the first time.
She will meet Italian seventh seed Jasmine Paolini or US 19th seed Emma Navarro for a place in Saturday’s final.
