Iva Jovic received valuable tennis advice from Novak Djokovic before her third-round match at the Australian Open, leading to her 6-2, 7-6 (3) upset victory over No. 7-seeded Jasmine Paolini. This win marked her first progression into the second week of a Grand Slam tournament, reversing her previous loss to Paolini at the U.S. Open. Jovic, inspired by her Serbian heritage and idols like Djokovic and Monica Seles, aims to incorporate his guidance as she prepares to face Yulia Putintseva in the next round. At just 18, Jovic is the youngest player in the women’s top 100, enjoying a breakthrough moment in her tennis career.
