Iva Jovic, the 29th seed at this year’s Australian Open, will take on Yuliia Putintseva next, hoping to continue with her historic campaign. Meeting for the first time, the two will face off in the fourth round. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Yulia Putintseva had made it to the second week in Melbourne for the first time. Before this season, the Kazakh, who debuted in this major 13 years ago, had lost four third-round ties, more recently last season.
To break this streak, Putintseva prevailed in an exciting showdown with the qualifier Zeynep Sonmez that lasted two hours and 36 minutes.
She claimed the first and third sets to record her eighth win of the season and shoot up a massive 24 places to 70th in the live ranking.
Iva Jovic has also made a positive jump in the live ranking after also making it to the second week for the first time. The American has moved up to 22nd, her best-ever placing yet.
Jovic, who is in her second appearance at the Happy Slam, is yet to lose a set with three matches played. She defeated seventh seed Jasmine Paolini in the last round to record her first victory against a top 10 player.
So far in 2026, the 19-year-old has claimed eight wins in 10 outings and was a finalist in Hobart.

Our Yulia Putintseva vs Iva Jovic Prediction
Our prediction for Yulia Putintseva vs Iva Jovic is for the exact score: 0-2. Both Jovic and Putintseva are having career runs this week at the Australian Open. It is the first time they have both made it this far in Melbourne. Jovic’s run has been a bit more interesting and has continued to cement her standing as one of the WTA’s top young talents.
The American has breezed her way into this round. She made light work of Jasmine Paolini in the last round, which is a huge shot in the arm entering the second week. Putintseva is the more experienced tour player between the two, but she hasn’t faced a player in hot form like Jovic.
