Iva Jovic vs Magda Linette prediction
Iva Jovic reached the round-of-16 at a Grand Slam for the second time in her career as the 18-year-old impressed at Wimbledon. She beat Jaqueline Cristian, Tatjana Maria and Ekaterina Alexandrova to get to that stage, and was on course for the last eight as she took the first set against Jessica Pegula. However, she would lose the match in three. Jovic is back up to her highest ranking of 16 in the world, and her best result at a WTA 1000 event was a round-of-16 appearance at the Italian Open in May.
She received a bye in the first-round and now faces Magda Linette. She came from a set down to beat Carol Zhao in her opening match. The Pole won 4-6 6-1 6-4 after two hours and one minute.
Jovic leads the head-to-head 3-0 and 2-0 on outdoor hard court. She beat Linette as a 16-year-old at the 2024 US Open. They have also met twice this season, with the American winning in Hobart on her way to the final and also overcoming Linette in Madrid.
