Jovic won the first set 6-1, breaking Maria’s serve repeatedly with returns that never gave the German veteran time to set up her preferred slice-and-dice patterns.

My game suits it quite well.” Jovic added that her approach was straightforward: hit deep, penetrate, and never let Maria dictate with variety.
