Potential Payout: $215 for every $115 Bet.

Current Form:

Iva Jovic improved to 8-2 on the season after decimating compatriot Katie Volynets 6-2, 6-3. The 18-year-old American delivered a clinical performance in the first round, winning 76 percent of her first ball to win all except one service game and seizing four break-point conversions on the back of a relentless attack on Volynets’ serves. Jovic, the Hobart International runner-up, won 28 return points off Volynets’ first serves and four points off her second serves.

Hon advanced to the second round of the Australian Open with a 1-6, 6-4, 5-3 ret. win over Marina Stakusic of Canada. Hon recovered from a lethargic first-set showing by minimizing her errors and raising the intensity of her attacks against a visibly hurting Stakusic. With the third set slipping out of her hands, Stakusic decided to retire from the match and give the win to Hon.
