The 26-12 months-outdated, runner-up in San Diego very last 7 days, arrived safely and securely and made mild perform of her initial-round opponent Laura Pigossi but her pre-match regime was barely excellent.
“It was good, besides the doorway opened mid-flight,” Vekic told reporters. “It was truly my fault for the reason that when we were being sitting down at the starting, it was so very hot, so I opened the doorway a minimal little bit to have some air. I guess I did not shut it adequately.
“10 minutes into the flight, the doorway opened. I was freaking out. The men have been freaking out in the back since I was sitting down in the front.
“The pilot was like, ‘No pasa nada. No pasa nada (no difficulty).’”
Vekic, who set up a company producing bees wax candles and donates income to bee conservation, is battling back up the rankings after falling outdoors the best 100.
She impressed in San Diego where she came by means of qualifying and beat two leading-10 gamers ahead of dropping to earth amount one Iga Swiatek in the ultimate in 3 sets.
