Tatjana Maria will try to test the mettle of American rising star Iva Jovic in the second round of the 2026 Wimbledon Open.
Caesars Sportsbooks lays an irresistible +160 price if both players win a set in what many expect to be an entertaining duel between youth and experience.
Current Form:
Iva Jovic dazzled in her first-round match against Jacqueline Cristian, posting a 7-6, 6-0 win over the Romanian. The American carried over an impressive form from her campaign at the Queen’s Club, where she scored strong wins over Antonia Ruzic, Alexandra Eala, and Amanda Anisimova before bowing to Emma Raducanu in the semifinals.
Tatjana Maria continues to be a force to be reckoned with on grass as the former Wimbledon Open semifinalist took down Yulia Putintseva 6-4, 6-4 in the first round. The 38-year-old Maria arrived at SW19 in high spirits after finishing runner-up to Madison Keys at Eastbourne International.
The Matchup: Jovic and Maria will play against each other for the first time. Jovic, who reached the quarterfinals of the 2026 Australian Open, holds a 12-2 record on grass and a 27-15 slate in 2026. Maria is the more seasoned player of the two. The German has 668 career wins under her belt and a 90-44 record on grass.
Jovic is the moneyline favorite because of her youthful exuberance and overwhelming skill set. On the other hand, Maria possesses the experience and grass-court mastery that make her a tricky opponent for the young American.

Our Tatjana María vs Iva Jovic Prediction
Iva Jovic is in for a wild ride in this second-round duel with Tatjana Maria.
Although Jovic is still a strong bet to hack out a win, Maria has the game style that can frustrate and test the patience of her younger foe.
Maria’s slice-and-dice style has claimed so many big names over the years, as it disrupts rhythm and neutralizes power hitters and aggressive baseliners like Jovic.
Maria will surprise everyone by taking the first set from Jovic. However, the American should adapt to her opponent’s tricky playing style in the second frame and start piling up the points with a barrage of winners. Jovic will continue to unload her heavy artillery in the deciding set, breezing through to a 2-6, 6-1, 6-3 win over Maria.
