The 2026 Hobart International final is here, and the two players gracing the court are Iva Jovic and Elisabetta Cocciaretto. The 18-year-old American seeks her second WTA Tour title, while Cocciaretto looks to make amends after losing the 2023 Hobart final. Let's get into this match prediction.
Iva Jovic entered this tournament as the second-highest-ranked player (30th) and was one of the favourites to win from the start. She just beat Taylah Preston in the semifinals after a brilliant comeback that saw her win 15-11 in games. That followed another 2-1 win over Magda Linette in the quarterfinal, which in turn followed two straight-sets wins over Renata Zarazua and Janice Tjen.
The 2025 Guadalajara winner, who just became an adult in December, is now on the hunt for her second WTA Tour title. She's the bookies' favourite to beat Elisabetta Cocciaretto, but a matchup with the Italian is trickier than it seems on paper. The Italian is no stranger on the big stages, having won the 2023 Ladies Open Lausanne and reaching the Hobart International final in the same year.
Cocciaretto has also been busier than her opponent in this tournament, playing six games since the qualifiers and winning five in straight sets. But even more interesting is the fact that she has won all three games since RO16 as the underdog.

Our Iva Jovic vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto Prediction
Jovic should win the game, but not as comfortably as the betting odds suggest. Even if she does so in two sets, we expect at least 17 games in total. We're backing Jovic despite her relatively low experience compared to Cocciaretto.
But that shouldn't be too surprising considering her remarkable career win rate in general and on hardcourt. Cocciaretto, on the other hand, has proven she can slay giants, having won her last three games as the underdog, so we're expecting her to win a couple of games. Hence, our Iva Jovic vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto prediction is that Jovic wins & over 16.5 games.
