Stan Wawrinka and Donna Vekic once set the court ablaze with their romance! In the past, both of them were rumored to be together for around 4 years before falling into controversies and parting ways in 2019. However, now, literally after 5 years, the 27-year-old WTA tennis star watches his match against Andy Murray and even dropped a question out of wonderment.

As the French Open has started, the ATP tennis player has achieved his first victory against the British tennis player. However, his ex-girlfriend was seen supporting him on social media. She took to her Instagram account to share a picture of how he was watching her ex-boyfriend’s tennis match on her mobile phone.

Even though both of them are no longer together, the admission for each other is still alive, as she wrote, “What year is it?” The main focus of this discussion was how the three-time Grand Slam champion, who has excelled on the court for many years, is still a dominant force when it comes to defeating elite players like Murray.

During the 2018 Samsung Open in Lugano, Vekic talked candidly about her romantic relationship with the former world number three in an interview with Blick. Subsequently, at the same time, while the ATP star was dealing with his injury, she, as a girlfriend, was quite confident that he would get back stronger.

She said, “I am sure that he will be back stronger and fitter than before.’ It’s not easy, obviously. But at the end, I have my job and he has his. This is our life. We love what we do and we support each other, even when we are not together. I think we can do well.”

Even if their relationship’s specifics are still unknown, Donna Vekic and Stan Wawrinka have both moved on in a constructive way. It’s interesting to note that their relationship initially gained attention due to a controversy.

The controversy that brought Donna Vekic’s relationship into the limelight 

Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios made a foul comment about Vekic directed at Wawrinka during a heated match at the 2015 Canadian Open. This shocking occurrence was caught on court microphones and caused a great deal of debate and public concern. In addition to being directed specifically at Vekic, Kyrgios’s remark was meant to minimize Wawrinka during a crucial juncture in the match.

Even if Nick Kyrgios said that his controversial behavior was taken in a time of heightened emotion—“kind of in the heat of the moment, I don’t know. I just said it”—the Australian tennis star was hit with severe fines in addition to severe punishments. Even though it was just one more chapter in Kyrgios’ narrative, this incident had a detrimental impact on their relationship.
