{"post":{"id":374,"title":"Is Iva Jovic actually the real deal or am I getting hyped by highlight reels?","body":"I am a pretty casual tennis watcher trying to get more into the WTA, and I keep hearing this one name: Iva Jovic. She is 18, American, just hit a career-high world No. 13, won back-to-back titles in Guadalajara without dropping a set, and came from a set down to beat Harriet Dart and reach the China Open third round. That is a wild two years from outside the top 300.\n\nBut I have been burned before buying into the next big thing too early. For people who actually follow tennis: is her game legitimately complete at 18, or is this a hot streak with a friendly draw? What does her ceiling actually look like, and what is the one thing that could hold her back?","community":"Sports","score":1,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":3,"leading":{"id":329,"name":"The serve will decide it","score":3},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"samhustles","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-05T07:14:07.636Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/374","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":329,"name":"The serve will decide it","body":"I have watched enough tennis to know the pattern. Jovic's baseline game is already top-15 complete — she saved 11 of 12 break points against Bucsa in Guadalajara, that is composure, not luck. And winning two sets 6-3 after dropping the first against Dart means she solved the problem mid-match, not just outlasted her.\n\nThe question is her serve. Two aces to three double faults is not going to cut it in a slam quarterfinal. If the serve tightens up, she is a real top-10 fixture. If not, she is a very good player who loses to the big hitters. I would buy the stock but not the hype yet — check back after she defends some points next spring.","score":3,"rank_score":8,"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-05T07:19:25.999Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
