Young American Thriving on Tour
Iva Jovic is coming off an impressive clay-court swing, reaching the semifinals in Charleston, the fourth round in Rome, and the third round in both Madrid and Paris. It has been a remarkable run considering this is her first full season on the main tour.
The American also enjoyed a strong start to the year, reaching the final in Stuttgart, the semifinals in Auckland and the quarterfinals at the Australian Open. Those results have helped her establish herself comfortably inside the Top 20.
Jovic began last year's grass season by winning the WTA 125 title in Ilkley but was unable to build on that momentum, suffering an opening-round defeat in her next event. She arrives on grass this year with far more confidence and will be hoping for another strong start.

Ruzic Hoping to Rebound on Grass
Antonio Ruzic qualified for the main draw at Queen's Club after defeating Aoi Ito and Storm Hunter in the qualifying rounds. This is only her second tour-level main-draw appearance on grass. Last year, she reached the second round in Nottingham as a qualifier and will be hoping for a similar result this week.
The Croatian impressed during the opening months of the season, reaching the semifinals in Hobart, the quarterfinals in Dubai and the third round at Indian Wells. Those results helped move her close to a Top 50 debut in the rankings.
However, she struggled to maintain that momentum during the clay swing. Ružić played six events across all levels and failed to record multiple wins in any of them. A return to grass could provide the fresh start she needs.
