Iva Jovic has emerged as a rising star in the tennis world by breaking into the top hundred rankings with her impressive performance at the Lexus ILKLEY Open, a prestigious WTA125 tournament held on grass in Great Britain. Jovic’s remarkable victory earned her 125 points, propelling her up the rankings. The American sensation showcased her tenacity and skill by defeating both the number two and number eight seeds on her path to victory. At just seventeen, Jovic demonstrated resilience and determination, with her first three rounds going the distance, proving she is a force to be reckoned with on the court.
