Inside the Mind of Iva Jovic: America’s Best Junior Tennis Player

even when you were young what was your attitude on the court right uh I mean the whole philosophy in my family that my dad kind of started was always playing the right way and now is in my family considered being aggressive taking the ball early and just trying to be the initiator having the match be on your terms so that was how I played growing up and I lost a lot of matches by just making unforced errors and just making mistakes with that style of play but the Hope was that eventually those shots and that strategy will start executing better and that is ultimately what I think helped me translate and get my game better later on I I just feel like coaching so many Juniors and you know 11 12 year old girls and boys spend a lot of time lobbing which is never going to be the case in the pros or in high college or even top Junior play so you know it was really genius by buan to to have that attitude and him not knowing that but he he spared those early results yeah for the Improvement and betterment of your game later [Music]
