The way she saved both of those match points was phenomenal - so brave! Both times she hit to the lines and actually saved them rather that hoping for Paolini to miss. She’s still only just turned 28 and as Paolini also shows, everyone progresses at different rates. Her physicality let her down in the end, hopefully she can use this as motivation to refine her physicality and bring for the rest of the year. I can see her winning this title eventually.

Donna played unbelievable & I was plugging for you! I haven’t seen you play at this level in many years & you will have the opportunity again! Take a break & clear your head & get back on the courts again & start working again! They’re the Olympics don’t forget? Donna you’re a better player than years before hold on to that be proud of your Wimbledon Tournament it was fantastic 👍👏

If Stan was the Man , Donna is the Donna

Donna toller Spieler,immer an deiner Seite,das nachste Mal wird...

Painful to watch. She clearly left it all out there. Such a dignified woman.

Bravo to Donna for a tournament well played. When she finally held for 6-6 in the third set, I literally said out loud that she'd already won...not that the tie-break was hers to lose, but because I felt like she played so well under adverse conditions (tired, hurt), and because she did not play against herself, as has been the case in the past, but just against her opponent. She saved a couple of match points, and forced the deciding tie-breaker, at which time she played to a point where the result could have gone for either woman; she did not beat herself. That is the victory for Donna Vekic for today.

She is one of the best in the world, and on grass probably top 5. I understand the tears, but she has nothing to be ashamed of. She got down today!

Win or Lose... we still love you 🥎🥎🥎 Please rest well and don't be too hard on yourself, especially on court.

BRAVO DONNA. INCREDIBLE FIGHT.

Compare the above comment from an Italian to the top comment from a Serb and Croat: "Novak will SHOW them [sic] tomorrow 😂" Very different cultures. Tutto il mondo ama gli Italiani. Non cambiare mai. Tough luck Donna. Love the upward trajectory you're on. ❤

She was so tough today.. and the Wimbledon crowd (and I say this as a Brit) are so fickle.. they obsessively support anyone jumping around and smiling like they’re the best human being on the planet and always go against fiery players like they’re awful people 😂 and it’s so pathetic. They’re just passionate and want it so badly - they’ve been working their entire life for it. She did so well considering the majority of the crowd were against her. She only lost due to physicality in the end, mentally she was there all the way and actually the braver of the two.. the way she saved both match points was almost more impressive in my eyes.. hopefully she can use this as motivation to refine her physicality so that she can win this title one day.

I would say the British fans mainly support the underdog, but I think the support was pretty balanced. Both of them gave their all out there. Jasmine was passionate & smiley because that's her character and Donna was also passionate but intense. We will never really know if she would have won if she was feeling physically okay. It's a shame there is only one winner. It was a joy to watch.

Just imagine how tough this was just to get to her first GS final and to think that Djokovic did this 24 times in a best of 5 is unworldly what these athletes have to put up with (mental strength, physical condition, diet, training, etc). Just amazing.

All my respect to Donna, such a fighter with so much resilience under tough situation. Both ladies deserve to win.

In the final tiebreak on the score of 8 all the last two points were two missed forehands by Donna. I can't say if these were unforced or forced errors, but She striked them with all the power, courage and grit that has distinguished her entire career. So now I really hope She can have another chance to get to the final and win this tournament, in my opinion it would be a real fairytale.

Donna, great wins only happen because there are great opponents. "The sun will come out tomorrow" and "It's only a day away". See you in the next Grand Slam.

That ish is HARD. She was hurt physically and psychologically. But she is a terrific tennis player, with a fantastic drop shot and powerful serve.

Lovely girl ! Great sportsmanship ! Her time will come ! 👍❤️👍

I was so gutted Vekic lost! Paolini is fantastic and her emergence has been incredible but I always remember Vekic losing an epic contest to Johanna Konta (also at Wimbledon) back in 2017, I think. She lost it 10-8 in the final set- this was before the advent of match tie-breaks at 6-6. My abiding memory of that match was a devastated Vekic crying on the shoulder of a consoling Konta right at the end (they are good friends). It feels like history is repeating itself for poor Vekic. This interview was hard to watch. Vekic still has the Olympics and certainly the US Open this year. She can still win a major, for sure.

She needs to stop being so negative and so hard on herself. It really affects her game when she's on court.
