Iva Jovic's superb run on debut at Queen's continued as she downed last year's runner-up Amanda Anisimova in the quarter-finals.

Jovic followed up her victory over fellow young star Alexandra Eala with a superb performance against second seed Anisimova.

The 18-year-old rallied from losing the second set to prevail 6-2 3-6 6-3.

Jovic set the tone with a break of serve in the first game.

She then fended off a response from Anisimova before forcing the two-time grand slam finalist to claw back four break points on her next serve.

Jovic took the opening set after a second, decisive break, though Anisimova hit back with successive breaks to level the scores.

A topsy-turvy start to the decider saw Jovic claim two breaks to Anisimova's one.

And though Anisimova rallied once more, Jovic immediately broke again before serving out the victory to love.

The BIGGEST WIN of her career

Jovic's biggest scalp

This marked Jovic's first triumph over an opponent ranked in the world's top five.

But there will be plenty more to come if Jovic lives up to her vast potential.

Anisimova may have powered out five aces compared to Jovic's none, but the youngster committed just five double faults compared to her more experienced opponent's 12, while forcing 17 break points.

She is now just one win away from a third Tour-level final of her career, while she has previously triumphed in England, having won a WTA 125 event in Ilkley in 2025.
