Taking place during the very early hours of Friday morning, for those viewing and betting in the US, there's an Australian Open match between Iva Jovic and Jasmine Paolini, who will clash in the third round of this magnificent competition. The young American player has been in hot form at the start of 2026, reaching the final in Hobart last week, though she was defeated by an Italian on that occasion, and she's now up against the best Italian of all. Can she cope?
Two-time Grand Slam finalist Jasmine Paolini is far from easy to face, and it looks as if the 30-year-old is in decent form at the minute. She made light work of beating Sasnovich in straight sets during the first round, before stepping on the gas to defeat Frech in straight sets during the second round. Those two efforts tell me that she's more than up to getting the better of her younger and less experienced opponent.

Our Iva Jovic vs Jasmine Paolini Prediction
Iva Jovic is a serious up-and-comer, there can be no doubting that, and if she was to pull out a superb effort and upset Paolini, it wouldn't be the biggest shock, though it would still be surprising, and let's face it, the Italian has turned up in hot form, Clearly an improver, Jovic has made some mistakes in big matches recently, and if she does that here, she'll be punished by a player who knows all about going deep at the Grand Slams.
Paolini simply has more experience and she won't hestitate to take advantage against a player that is hugely talented but is still learning at this level. Frankly, Paolini could easily be a strong favorite here, and I think she should be, so betting her to win at -149 offers value for money.
