NEW YORK—Iva Jovic, a 16-year-old from Torrance, Calif., became the youngest American to win a women’s main-draw match at the U.S. Open since 2020, eliminating 2023 Australian Open semifinalist Magda Linette of Poland 6–4, 6–3 on Monday, August 26.
“Surprised, but not surprised,” Jovic said about the result against someone who’s been ranked in the top 20.
