Iva Jovic

Player Overview

Iva Jovic, a right-handed player with a career win percentage of 69%, has navigated a challenging path over the past two years, securing 58 wins against 31 losses for a win percentage of 65.2%. Her recent performance has been marked by stability, reflected in a 60% win rate over her last five matches. Jovic's Elo rating of 2235 underscores her competitive edge, particularly on hard courts, where she has excelled historically.

However, Jovic's recent form raises concerns as she enters this match. After a mixed run at the French Open, highlighted by a win over E. Navarro and a defeat to Naomi Osaka, she looks to recover from a loss against A. Eala just days ago. With no recent victories to build on, Jovic must find a way to regain her footing against an opponent she previously defeated, which could either spark a turnaround or deepen her struggles.
