Torrance teen Iva Jovic turns heads, wins her U.S. Open debut match

Iva Jovic made the most of her first opportunity to play at the U.S. Open, eliminating 2023 Australian Open semifinalist Magda Linette on Wednesday.

Iva Jovic, a 16-year-old from Torrance, became the youngest American to win a women's main-draw match at the U.S. Open since 2020, eliminating 2023 Australian Open semifinalist Magda Linette of Poland 6-4, 6-3 on Monday. 'Surprised, but not surprised,' Jovic said about the result against someone who's been ranked in the top 20.

' She earned a wild-card entry for the main bracket at the year's last Grand Slam tournament by winning the U.S. Tennis Assn. Girls' 18s national championship. She also paired with Tyra Grant there to take the doubles title, which gave them a wild card for women's doubles at Flushing Meadows; the USTA granted Jovic and another American teen, Kaylan Bigun, a spot in the mixed doubles field too.
