Iva Jovic’s US Open Rise and Her Plan to Become World No. 1

At just 18 years old, Iva Jovic has surged from No. 389 in the world to entering her first US Open as a seeded player and she has no intention of stopping there. The American tennis phenom joins Abby Wambach, Julie Foudy and Billie Jean King to talk about her goal of becoming world No. 1, the “healthy delusion” it takes to believe you can beat anyone and why her secret to success is surprisingly simple: show up every day.

Iva opens up about how her parents’ immigration story shaped her drive, the sibling rivalry that made her fiercely competitive and the routines helping her stay grounded and avoid burnout. Plus, she reveals why soccer is still her favorite sport, while Billie Jean challenges Iva and the next generation to lead women’s tennis forward on and off the court.
