No waiting time. The American tennis player Iva Jovic got off the plane that took her to Barranquillas, slept a few hours and on the morning of this Tuesday she already secured her qualification for the next round of the World Youth Tennis Championships that will take place at the Racquet Park .
His legs can’t take it anymore, he’s just won the last two tournaments he’s played – the most recent one a few days ago in Ecuador – and now he’s got behind him the favoritism of the traditional tennis competition that takes place in the city.
Iva won as quickly as her name was spoken. In the blink of an eye, she defeated Canadian Martyna Ostrzygalo 6-1, 6-0. The domain was complete. Although he did not make his debut on the main pitch of the Parque de Raquetas, his play attracted the most crowd on the first day.
The wind was blowing strong. However, he uses it to his advantage to shake his opponent from side to side. Sweat ran down the Canadian’s forehead. She felt more exhausted than usual and her legs weren’t responding to reach the top of the tournament corner submissions.
“It was quite complicated in the beginning because of all the accumulated fatigue. I came to the city at night and I’m still not used to the sun. I tried to throw fastballs to move my opponent from one side to the other and win the game,” Iva explained.
“It’s quite difficult to play so many games in a row. I always mentalize myself to give the best of myself in every game. I don’t think about the ranks, nor about favoritism, less about the weather conditions, I just focus on dedication to dedication until I reach the goal,” he added.
Born in the United States, of Serbian descent, she dreams of becoming a professional. He doesn’t speak Spanish, but when expressing his feelings for the win, he said goodbye with a comical, “Thank you.”
