Snag a sweet +135 price on a straightforward two-way parlay on DraftKings as Iva Jovic takes on Talia Gibson for the second time in the third round of the 2026 Miami Open.
Current Form:
Roughly 24 hours after annihilating a former world’s No.2, Iva Jovic will now take on Australia’s rising star Talia Gibson for a place in the fourth round of the 2026 Miami Open.
Jovic dispatched Paula Badosa in 15 games, 6-1, 6-2 to punch her place in the next round. Ranked No.17 in the world, the 18-year-old American badly needed the win for her confidence after two tough losses to Ajla Tomljanovic in the second round at Austin and Camila Osorio in the second round of the 2026 Indian Wells Open.
Against Gibson, Jovic should understand that she’s taking on somebody who is on fire after winning 10 of her last 11 matches. Gibson earned her spot in the round of 32 with an exquisite 7-5, 6-4 win over Naomi Osaka in the second round.

Our Iva Jovic vs Talia Gibson Prediction
For fearless bros out there, feel free to go hard on Talia Gibson at +156. As mentioned above, the Aussie has been scorching hot, racking up four top-20 wins in a span of two weeks with her aggressive baseline game and a relentless offense. Jovic is also an aggressive player who can deal damage on the return at a 48.9 percent breakpoint conversion rate. This is going to be an exciting match from start to finish, but there will only be one victor at the end of this showdown.
Jovic is a solid moneyline pick at -192, but you can unlock a more lucrative price by getting creative in the parlays. In this case, a two-leg combo of Jovic win + Iva Jovic Over 12.5 games offers +136 odds.
I do think that Jovic will still win this matchup, but like what happened in her last meeting with Gibson, the Aussie will again drag her into a deciding set.
