Donna Vekic's Wimbledon Manicure: Expressing Individuality Within Tradition

Wimbledon's pristine white dress code has long been a symbol of tradition and elegance. However, players like Donna Vekic are finding subtle ways to express their individuality on court, even within the tournament's strict guidelines.

Vekic, the 28-year-old Croatian, has become a fan favorite at this year's Wimbledon, reaching her first Grand Slam semifinal. Along with her impressive performance, her Wimbledon-themed manicure has caught the attention of eagle-eyed tennis enthusiasts.

The manicure features the tournament's signature green and purple colors in a modern twist on French tips. It's a subtle yet stylish way for Vekic to pay homage to the tradition of Wimbledon while still expressing her own personality.

Vekic is not the only player who has embraced nail art at Wimbledon. Coco Gauff, Mirra Andreeva, and others have also showcased their creativity with Wimbledon-inspired designs. According to Gauff, it's a way for players to express themselves while still respecting the tournament's dress code.

"Honestly at Wimbledon there's not too much you can do in the color department," Gauff said. "But I just think of Wimbledon as a tradition. Even with my nails, I always get, like, French (tips) or white here just to match that elegance of it."

Vekic's Wimbledon journey has been a testament to her resilience and determination. Once a touted tennis prodigy, she has faced setbacks due to injuries. However, she has persevered and is now enjoying one of the best moments of her career.

"I think I'm a different person now compared to six years ago," Vekic said. "I feel like I've matured more. Maybe I'm enjoying it more."

Vekic will face No. 7 seed Jasmine Paolini on Thursday for a spot in the Wimbledon final. With her Wimbledon-themed manicure and newfound confidence, she will be looking to continue her fairytale run and make history at the All England Club.
