Iva Jovic vs Jasmine Paolini prediction
Iva Jovic has now reached the second round at Flushing Meadows twice in her extraordinarily young career so far, an incredible achievement for a player who does not turn 18-years-old until December. Jovic was ruthless on break point, winning four from seven and wound up getting the better of Aliaksandra Sasnovich 7-6 (8-6), 6-3.
Jasmine Paolini must beware the fearlessness of youth and not show any signs of complacency, otherwise she could find herself in trouble. But what should help the Italian in terms of her focus will be an expected loud crowd who are likely to get right behind Jovic of the USA. A California native, Jovic clearly has a bright future ahead of her as she looks to try and break into the world’s top 50.
But an opponent of Paolini’s class is expected to wind up too good for Jovic on this occasion. In the future, it would be no surprise to see the American beating players of Paolini’s ilk sooner rather than later in Grand Slams such as this. But for now, the sensible move is to back the world number four.
