Vesna Ratkovna Dolonc (Russian: Весна Ратковна Долонц; née Manasieva, Манасиева; born 21 July 1989) is a Serbian professional tennis player, born to a Serbian father and Russian mother.
Dolonc began competing on the ITF women's circuit in September 2005, soon after her sixteenth birthday, and had risen to World No. 152 by 28 January 2008.
Despite not having yet won any tournament outright at either WTA or ITF level, between July 2006 and February 2008 she has reached the quarter-final of a Tier IV event, $100,000 and $25,000 finals, a $75,000 semi-final, a $75,000 quarter-final, a $50,000 quarterfinal, four $25,000 semifinals, and one $25,000 quarterfinal.
In the latter months of 2005, Manasieva played just three $10,000 tournaments and won just one main-draw match.
But in February 2006 she won seven successive matches to come through qualifying and reach the semi-final of the $10,000 event at Portimão, Portugal; and that May she reached her first $10,000 final at Kiev, Ukraine. A further semi-final appearance followed in June at Davos, Switzerland, where she lost in straight sets to Tatjana Malek.
In July she qualified for her first $25,000 tournament at Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, and reached the semi-final. At Moscow in August she reached the quarter-final of another $25,000 event, losing (for the second time that year) to fellow-Russian youngster Ekaterina Makarova.
In September she qualified for a $75,000 event for the first time at Denain, France, but lost in the first round of the main event in three sets to Claudine Schaul.
Further success over the Autumn was largely elusive, but she finished the year ranked as World No. 393 after starting unranked.
The following January, Manasieva qualified for her second $75,000 event at Urtijëi, Italy with wins over Czech player Michaela Paštiková, Italian veteran Antonella Serra Zanetti and upcoming Belorussian player Ekaterina Dzehalevich, and posted a win over Germany's Julia Schruff in reaching the quarter-final of the main draw, her best result yet, before bowing out again, though this time in a close three-setter, to Tatjana Malek.
