The 18-year-old from Immendingen in Baden-Württemberg lost to the Polish Weronika Baszak 5: 7, 6: 2, 2: 6. Vecic had previously beaten the top seeded Frenchwoman Elsa Jacquemot in three sets and was the first German since Marlene Weingärtner to reach the round of four in Melbourne in 1997.
Due to the high temperatures, both players had to wait until the evenings to start their game. For Vecic, the semi-finals in Melbourne was the greatest success of her young career.
