Donna Vekic has revealed that she was “freaking out” over a mid-air helicopter scare during her trip to the final WTA 1000 tournament of the season in Guadalajara. Vekic made the San Diego Open final on Sunday and travelled down the coast to Guadalajara on Monday. Ad She beat Laura Pigossi in her opening match on Tuesday and revealed afterwards that part of her journey to the tournament was not smooth sailing.
(Reuters) - Croatian Donna Vekic said she was 'freaking out' after the door of the helicopter she was travelling in to the Guadalajara Open in Mexico opened mid-flight.
The 26-year-old, runner-up in San Diego last week, arrived safely and made light work of her first-round opponent Laura Pigossi but her pre-match routine was hardly ideal. "It was great, except the door opened mid-flight," Vekic told reporters. "It was actually my fault because when we were sitting at the beginning, it was so hot, so I opened the door a little bit to have some air. I guess I didn't close it properly.
