Donna Vekic shared a photo carousel from the Maldives on Instagram, captioned "Never been better," after working the Astor Club Soirée tennis series. The series is run in partnership with LUX Tennis and ran from October 29 to November 1.
Why it matters
The post and the series offer a look at how players spend time between competitive events in the offseason. Vekic's recent results, including a Queen's Club title in June and a loss to Iga Swiatek at the China Open in October, frame the period.
Vekic's China Open loss to Iga Swiatek ended 6-4, 6-7(0), 2-6 in Beijing in October. Her Astor Club Soirée working stay ran from October 29 to November 1 across private sessions, group clinics, junior activities and a guest meet-and-greet.

Season Trajectory
Destination exhibition series such as the Astor Club Soirée, run in partnership with LUX Tennis, give players paid appearances between tour events. Vekic's appearance follows a China Open loss and a Queen's Club title earlier in the year.
For fantasy and bettors tracking Vekic, the offseason exhibition schedule means limited official tour results until the 2027 season begins. The Astor Club series is an exhibition rather than a ranking event, so it does not affect her official standings.
The takeaway
Offseason exhibitions like the Astor Club Soirée are a common way for players to earn income and build fan engagement between tour seasons. Readers following Vekic should watch for the announcement of her 2027 schedule.
What happens next
Vekic is expected to begin preparations for the 2027 season, with her schedule for that year still to be announced.
