American fourth seed Iva Jovic produced a gutsy comeback to dispatch former world No. 4 Jasmine Paolini 6-4, 6-3 at the BNB Ningbo Open, booking her spot in the quarterfinals.
Paolini looked sharp early, breaking serve to race into a 3-1 lead in the opener. But Jovic steadied the ship, found her range, and reeled off two breaks of her own to pocket the first set 6-4.
The second set was even more convincing. Jovic surged two breaks clear at 4-1, threatening to run away with it. Paolini, to her credit, clawed one break back to narrow the gap to 4-3 - but that was as close as she got. Jovic held firm on serve before breaking once more to wrap things up 6-3, completing the job in just 83 minutes.
Next up for Jovic is a last-eight meeting with either sixth seed Diana Shnaider or the Philippines' Alexandra Eala. Whichever opponent emerges, the 18-year-old will fancy her chances after such a composed display.
