Donna Vekic in the middle of tennis’ public love triangle

IT IS the Hollywood storyline that has stunned the tennis world and Croatian tennis player Donna Vekic is the story’s leading lady.

The 19-year-old rising star is reportedly the woman at the centre of the developing scandal between Aussie wild child Nick Kyrgios, former Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka and Aussie Thanasi Kokkinakis.

Donna Vekic has won fans around the world.

Kyrgios sensationally sledged Wawrinka during their second round match at the Rogers Cup in Montreal during a hated exchange of words at the net.

Kyrgios was filmed live on international television telling Wawrinka: “Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend. Sorry to tell you that mate.

Kyrgios went on to make a dramatic comeback from a set down before Wawrinka retired with a back problem trailing 4-0 in the third and final set.

Wawrinka showed no animosity towards Kyrgios at the end of the match, shaking hands with the 20-year-old from Canberra and even patting him on the chest.

While many have questioned the ethics of Kyrgios’ sledge and the harm it could cause to close friend Kokkinakis, many fans have also criticised Kyrgios for the damage his comment could cause to Vekic’s reputation.
