Taylah Preston vs Iva Jovic prediction
Taylah Preston secured the biggest win of her career as she outplayed top seed Emma Raducanu to reach the semi-finals in Hobart.
The 20-year-old Aussie delighted the home crowd with a dominant 6-2 6-4 win over the underwhelming Brit.
The world number 204 now takes on in-form teenager Iva Jovic for an unlikely place in the final.
The third seed will be another level of threat in comparison to an out-of-form Raducanu. Indeed, the 18-year-old American has been playing scintillating tennis so far in 2026 and continued that theme with a 6-3 6-7 6-2 victory over Magda Linette.
The underdog will not be overawed but Jovic has reached back-to-back semis now and looks like being a juggernaut that won’t be stopped at this juncture.
