Alina Korneeva def. Iva Jovic 6-3, 6-4 — Canadian Open 2026 R32

Match recap

Alina Korneeva defeated Iva Jovic 6-3, 6-4 in the R32 of the Canadian Open 2026.

The break points went almost entirely one way. Jovic saved one of the eight she faced while Korneeva converted seven of eight and won 24 of 33 first-serve points, and the damage started immediately — a break in game 1 for 1-0, another in game 3 for 3-0 — against a betting market that had installed the No. 13 seed as a 63 percent favorite. Seven more breaks followed in the second set, where Korneeva, ranked WTA No. 89, won 75 percent of her first-serve points; she has now come through three matches at the Canadian Open without dropping a set, this one finished in 1 hour 22 minutes. She would go on to face Gauff, the No. 4, for a place in the quarterfinals.
