Last year Mirra Andreeva reached the second round of the US Open, aged 16.

This year, 16-year-old Iva Jovic became the youngest American to win a women’s main draw match at the US Open since 2000, defeating 2023 Australian Open semi-finalist Magda Linette of Poland 6-4 6-3 on Monday. Jovic nows comes up against 29th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova.

“I’ve practised with her once in France and I think for her it’s a great opportunity as well because she goes on court like I did as well, she has nothing to lose playing in front of her home fans. It’s a great opportunity for her,” said Andreeva, who defeated Camila Osorio 6-2 7-6 (7-4) to reach the second round.

“I don’t really know her much in the way she plays or how she is as a person. I just think she can play here very well. She can show some good tennis.”
