Donna Vekic not relying upon previous Johanna Konta win before Wimbledon rematch

"Maybe I will have a chance in that she will feel more pressure than me, especially on Centre Court. I don't have much to lose"

Donna Vekic insists Johanna Konta is the favourite to win their Wimbledon tie, despite beating her three weeks ago.

British No 1 Konta lost to world No 58 Vekic at Nottingham's Aegon Championship but will play her again on Wednesday.

"She is definitely the favourite," Vekic said.

"It doesn't matter that I beat her in Nottingham, it was different circumstances. I played very well in Nottingham, I had a very good rhythm and my game was going less up and down than usual.

"Maybe I will have a chance in that she will feel more pressure than me, especially on Centre Court. I don't have much to lose.

"If I serve well, I will have a chance and if I want to beat her I must play my best tennis."

World No 7 Konta beat Su-Wei Hsieh in her opener on Monday.
