Croatian tennis players experienced early exits at the WTA Monterrey tournament, where Antonia Ružić, Petra Marčinko, and former champion Donna Vekić were all eliminated in the first round. Vekić, in particular, faced a difficult period, extending a five-match losing streak following her defeat to France’s Diane Parry.

Following these results, the players transitioned to the US Open in New York. At the start of the Grand Slam, Antonia Ružić was scheduled for a first-round women’s singles match against Ann Li. Meanwhile, Donna Vekić secured a first-round victory against Australia’s Jaclyn Bowden.
