Iva Jovic and Alexandra Eala are protagonists of one of the great friendships on the WTA circuit, but today they had to face each other in the first round of Roland Garros 2026, where the American tennis player emerged victorious. During the subsequent press conference, Jovic wanted to address the situation, stating, "I think there are no secrets. We have trained together a lot, and we have played doubles together a lot, so I think we both know each other's tendencies, and we were prepared to face off. It was simply about who would play better that day. She is undoubtedly one of my best friends on the circuit. I have a lot of respect for her as a person and as a player. We shared a strong hug before the match, and another afterward. There are no hard feelings. I'm sure there will be many more matches, and she will also beat me a couple of times; that's tennis."
