Fresh off stunning a former top 10, Alina Korneeva is out to give Iva Jovic a rough match in the third round of the 2026 Canadian Open.
Korneeva looks like a rock-solid pick to +3.5 games (-115).
Current Form:
Iva Jovic powered past Magda Linette 6-3, 7-5 to advance into the third round of the 2026 Canadian Open. Jovic won 76 percent of his first serves and broke Linette four times behind 27 return points. Jovic is 16-7 on the hard court in 2026.
Alina Korneeva stunned Emma Navarro 6-2, 6-2 to book her spot in the round of 32. The emerging Russian netter collected 30 return points and converted 6 break-point chances, while dropping only two service games against the former top 10. Korneeva has racked up a 15-5 record on hard courts this season.
The Matchup: Jovic opened as a -220 moneyline favorite, but Korneeva’s victory over Navarro has also drawn the interest of hardcore bettors who are more willing to take a risk on the Russian in the spread market, where she catches a +3.5-game cushion.
