She earned a wildcard into the main draw after winning the USTA Girls&#8217; 18s national championship.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:323\">Earlier this year, Jovic captured juniors doubles titles at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:323\">Her performance at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/2024-us-open-prize-money-how-much-money-does-the-winner-earn\/\">US Open<\/a> is sure to propel her up the rankings and solidify her status as one of the rising stars of women&#8217;s tennis.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:323\">Jovic will face world No. 29 Ekaterina Alexandrova in the second round. A victory in that match could set up a potential showdown with world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:323\">Jovic Inspired By Novak Djokovic<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:204\">Despite her age, Jovic has already garnered attention for her impressive game and her admiration for tennis legends.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:204\">She has cited Novak Djokovic as a major influence on her career and expressed a desire to emulate his success. This is hardly surprising, considering her Serbian roots.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:204\">When asked about Djokovic&#8217;s impact on her game, Jovic said, &#8220;Djokovic, I mean, do I need to say? We all know how great he is. He&#8217;s a true champion, and watching him play has inspired me to strive for excellence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:184\">Jovic also revealed that she has tried to incorporate some of Djokovic&#8217;s strategies into her own game, such as his aggressive baseline play and his ability to stay calm under pressure.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:72\">When asked if she had ever met Djokovic in person, Jovic replied, &#8220;I&#8217;ve tried to a few times, but it hasn&#8217;t happened yet. I&#8217;ve even tried to get a selfie with him, but it&#8217;s always been too crowded or too chaotic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"17:1-17:131\">Despite not meeting her idol, Jovic remains inspired by Djokovic&#8217;s accomplishments and continues to look up to the 24-time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/who-has-won-the-most-grand-slams-titles-in-tennis-history\/\">Grand Slam<\/a> champion as a role model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A major upset rocked the US Open on Monday as 16-year-old American prodigy, Iva Jovic, delivered a shock victory over world No. 42 Magda Linette.
