Early life

[edit]

Iva Jovic was born on 6 December 2007 in Torrance, California, to Bojan and Jelena Jovic, who emigrated to the United States in the early 2000s. Her father is from Leskovac, Serbia, while her mother was born in Split, Croatia.[6][7][8] Both parents are pharmacists.[9] She has an older sister, Mia, who played college tennis at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).[10] Jovic grew up speaking Serbian at home and regularly visited relatives in Serbia.[9]

Jovic began playing tennis at the age of five, initially practicing with her older sister on the tennis courts of their apartment complex in Torrance. She also participated in other sports during childhood, including soccer, gymnastics and swimming.[11] At the age of eleven, she began training under Peter Smith at the Jack Kramer Club in Rolling Hills Estates, California.[12] During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, she began focusing more seriously on tennis, increasing her training at the United States Tennis Association's training facility in Carson, California.[13]
