Having reached the Wimbledon semi-finals and earned an Olympic silver medal last summer, the 29-year-old achieved hero status in the Balkan country.

Hot on the heels of becoming the latest of her country's sporting icons, the 5ft 10in star enthusiastically told SunSport of Modric: "He's the biggest hero in Croatia. "Everywhere around the world when they ask me where I'm from, I say 'Croatia' and they say 'ah, Modric'. Luka Modric is a great guy, Gvardiol is also amazing, playing for Man City. 'He was the one before me, now it's me and it's great company to be in.'

In arguably the most memorable match of last year's tournament, the likeable star broke down in tears during the closing stages of her 2-6 6-4 7-6 defeat to Italy's Jasmine Paolini. The loss made Vekic want to quit tennis for a while… but just weeks later she had brushed it off to win Olympic silver. On the quick turnaround, Vekic said: 'I was lucky that the Olympics was so close to Wimbledon because if they weren't then I think I would have been done for a while. It was really heartbreaking.

'I didn't want to go - I was ill, I was injured, it was tough. But then when I got to Paris, the energy of the village, of other athletes from other sports really brought me up.' Donna Vekic bursts into tears after 'insane' hawk-eye call in record-breaking Wimbledon semi-final Now back in SW19 - 12 months on from her heartache - Vekic now believes that she can walk with the swagger of a tournament favourite. 'Coming on grass, no one will like to see me in the draw,' Vekic confidently told SunSport. "Women's tennis is at such a high level now, everyone is playing such good tennis so really everyone has a chance to beat everyone and you have to be 100 per cent every match." Vekic opens her Wimbledon campaign against Australia's Kimberly Birrell, and is a potential third round opponent for British No2 Katie Boulter. Following her run in 2024, however, Vekic has her eyes on a far greater prize. "Things came together last year, hopefully they will again this year and maybe I can go a little bit further," she confidently claimed. When SunSport pointed out that any further would mean reaching the final, Vekic didn't shy away from her ambition, adding: "There's not much further, once you get so close to it you feel, you see that you are there, and that you can go for the title. "I don't see why not." 6 The 29-year-old lost a heartbreaker to Jasmine Paolini in last year's semi-finals Credit: Sunday Times 6 Vekic remains a fan favourite wherever she goes Credit: Getty

Cunningham stays hot, wins 110m hurdles in Atlanta
Lindsey Vonn discusses the emotional podium following her retirement comeback It's been just over a month since Lindsey Vonn made history. A second-place finish in a super-G race in Idaho saw her become the oldest female Alpine skier – by six years – to make the podium of a World Cup race. It was a deeply emotional moment as she ended her comeback season following her dramatic decision to come out of retirement. Vonn had originally called time on her career in 2019 but a partial knee replacement gave the 40-year-old a new lease of life on the slopes with eyes now firmly focused on next year's Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. Vonn, appearing alongside fellow Olympians Eileen Gu and Maria Höfl-Riesch at a CNN panel at the Laureus World Sports Awards, has been telling CNN's Amanda Davies that the journey to get back to the top was one of the most challenging of her career. 4:32 Now Playing Paused Ad Playing
