Fourth seed Iva Jovic and 16th seed Sofia Kenin are set to face off in the third round at the WTA Charleston Open. This will be the first time the two meet, and the winner will face Paula Badosa or Anna Kalinskaya in the quarter-final. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Jovic comes here on a strong run of form, having improved from a number of setbacks and early exits. Her win over Alycia Parks in the last round will surely propel her.
It has been a solid season for the youngster, who, apart from reaching the Australian Open quarters, has also been to the Hobart final. A 16-7 record for the year means she arrives here confident of a win. The American is 16th in the live rank.
Kenin was a losing finalist in Charleston last season, falling in straight sets against Pegula. This time she hopes to go one better.
She arrived in Charleston on a poor run, having lost eight times, but quickly flipped the form book in the last round. She is coming off a straight-set win over former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu.
There’s still work to do, as Kenin, a one-time slam champion, has only won consecutive matches in one tournament in nine months.
Seeking a first appearance in the third round this season, Kenin arrives for this encounter placed 65th in the live rankings.

Our Iva Jovic vs Sofia Kenin Prediction
Sofia Kenin comes into this encounter as the more experienced player, but her recent run has left a lot to be desired. Psychologically, she will be below Iva Jovic, who has shot into the top 20 within a very short span.
Kenin has also struggled against players in the top 20, and this is another match she may find tough. While she is in the third round for the first time, Jovic has already played a final and did well at the Australian Open. Our prediction for Iva Jovic v Sofia Kenin is that Iva Jovic wins.
