Iva Jovic vs Renata Zarazua prediction
Iva Jovic provided further evidence that she can make serious moves into the upper echelons of the women’s game with a demolition job on Janice Tjen.
The 18-year-old, who has already risen into the top 30, raced to a 6-0 6-1 win to power into the round of 16 in double-quick time.
The American will now be a strong favourite to reach the last eight against world number 84 Renata Zarazua.
The Mexican qualifier overcame the disappointment of losing a tight tie-break to clinch a 6-7 6-3 6-3 win over out of form Hailey Baptiste.
This will be a third meeting between the two players with Jovic triumphing in three at last year’s French Open after Zarazua won on a hardcourt in 2024.
The American has hit new levels since that straight sets loss in the final of a W100 in Tyler and we feel she is playing the sort of spectacular tennis that is going to be too good for Zarazua this time around.
