Iva Jovic vs. Naomi Osaka Prediction and Best Bet

In today's edition of Betting $100 Every Day for a Year, I wrote about why I'm backing Jovic as an underdog:

One of my favorite tennis strategies is to bet on young players whom I don't think the betting market has caught on to yet. That's why I'm going to back Iva Jovic against Naomi Osaka in the third round. Jovic has been on fire in 2026, making it to the Round of 16 at Internazionali BNL d'Italia, the semifinals at the Credit One Charleston Open, and making it all the way to the quarterfinals at the Australian Open.

Pick: Iva Jovic +100
