Jovanovski at the 2014 French Open

After Melbourne, Jovanovski moved seven places down on rankings. But, worse still, suffered a wrist injury, and faced a spell on the sidelines. She tried to play at the Open GDF Suez in Paris, but lost to Andrea Petkovic.[95] As a result, she was forced to withdraw from the tournaments in Doha, Dubai and also the Fed Cup.

Consequences of injuries continued for the results. Jovanovski lost convincingly at next four events in Acapulco, Indian Wells, Miami, and also first clay tournament of season in Marrakech, winning a total of just two matches.

In Oeiras, Jovanovski defeated Monica Puig in round one to face Elena Vesnina in round two, serving for the match and holding a match point for her first quarterfinal since Hobart, but lost in three sets. In the first round of Madrid she outclassed Karin Knapp, but lost in the second round to countrywoman Ana Ivanovic. Including that loss in Madrid, Jovanovski lost then six times in a row, including Roland Garros.

Jovanovski travelled to Wimbledon with a 7–15 win-loss season record, but scored her first win since Madrid with victory over Johanna Larsson. After that she came up with her best performance of the year, stunning eighth seed Victoria Azarenka in three sets to reach the third round.[96] It was her fourth top-10 win. She however missed a big chance to reach next round, falling to Czech qualifier and world No. 176 Tereza Smitková. Jovanovski had a match point in second set, then served two times for a match in final set (incl. another match point), but couldn't cross the finishing line.

Jovanovski then played in Istanbul, losing in the second round. Jovanovski then played in Baku, and reached second final at that tournament after beating Stefanie Vögele. She lost in two sets to Elina Svitolina in final. This was the first final which she lost, after winning her previous two. She went on to North America where the first tournament she played was at Washington. Although being tired, she reached the quarterfinals, losing to Marina Erakovic for the second time in a year. She arrived in Montréal but soon found a downturn in form. All of her next series of matches in North America were lost in two sets: in Montreal, Cincinnati, New Haven and the US Open. Moving to Asia, Jovanovski reached the Tashkent final, but in China played three tournaments, winning not a single match.

2015[]

Jovanovski played two Australian Open warm-up events, and reached the second round of both. At the Australian Open itself, she lost in the first round to Roberta Vinci. Bad form continued, with losses in the first round of Doha and Kuala Lumpur.[97] She, however, managed to win one match in both Indian Wells and Miami, with a notable scalp coming against Mona Barthel in Miami.

The clay court season began for Jovanovski in Marakech, where she lost to third seed Flavia Pennetta. In Madrid, she played qualifications, but lost there in the second round to Mariana Duque. However, at the next tournament in Rome, Jovanovski finally won back-to-back matches. After winning two in qualifying, she then beat top players to reach third round, Caroline Garcia[98] and top-20 player Madison Keys.[99] She was finally stopped in round three by Maria Sharapova.[100]

2016–2017: Surgery and rehabilitation[]

With the condition of her wrist and right shoulder that has been bothering her for the past three seasons worsening, Jovanovski played in only five matches in 2016, each time losing in the first round in straight sets. Following the French Open first round loss to Agnieszka Radwańska, Jovanovski said that she was going to miss all tournaments on grass court, including Wimbledon, to try to prepare for the second half of the season.[101] However, after unsuccessfully trying to rehabilitate with various non-surgery methods she notified the public in early July 2016 that on the advice of Spanish doctors she has decided to undergo surgery in an attempt to continue with her tennis career.[102] With expected recovery period of four to five months, Jovanovski said she expects to be back in time for the Australian series in January 2017.[103] In an interview in September 2016, Jovanovski said she hopes to return to practice in November and that although she could use protected ranking to play in the Australian Open she doesn't want to use it for a tournament she isn't ready for, only wanting to return once she is fit, and deemed it unlikely to play in tournaments before February 2017.[104]

In July 2017, after having her first training after more than a year, it was speculated Jovanovski might return to court in autumn.[105] Later in July, she said she doesn't want to squander wildcards for tournaments at the end of the season when it is unrealistic for her to be completely ready and said she will most likely be ready for the beginning of 2018.[106] In September 2017, Jovanovski confirmed that she will return to court in early 2018.[107]

2018: Return from injury, comeback[]

After almost a two-year layoff due to injury, Jovanovski played her first tournament at the St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy in late January. She lost in the first round of qualifying to Océane Dodin in straight sets. She then resumed playing ITF tournaments in mid-April.

On 28 November, she announced her retirement from professional tennis.

Personal life[]

Jovanovski was born to father Zoran, a former football player, and mother Snežana, and also has a sister Viktorija.[109] Her father and coach Zoran Jovanovski introduced her to tennis when she was aged 7.[111] Jovanovski cites Maria Sharapova as her idol for being "an aggressive player and a strong personality".[112] She is good friends with Serbian tennis player Jelena Janković.[22] Jovanovski is fluent in Serbian and English.[110] Besides Head, Jovanovski is also sponsored by Knjaz Miloš.[113] In November 2016 she married her boyfriend Miloš Petrović.[114]

National identity[]

During the ITF tournament in Dubai in December 2010, it was rumoured Jovanovski would play for Macedonia, reportedly for "being in the shadow of Jelena and Ana".[115] Her father and coach Zoran Jovanovski denied the rumours at once, saying that "Bojana had never even been in Macedonia" and that the rumour was "made up because of her surname".[115][116]

Notes

  • 1 The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Open since 2009. The Dubai Championships were classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by the Qatar Open for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, the Dubai Championships regained its Premier 5 status while the Qatar Open was demoted to Premier status. The two tournaments have since alternated status every year.
  • 2 In 2014, the Pan Pacific Open was downgraded to a Premier event and replaced by the Wuhan Open.
  • 3 Tournament appearances include Grand Slam, WTA Tour main draw tournaments and the Summer Olympics. They do not include Fed Cup matches.
  • 4 Overall W–L include Grand Slam, WTA Tour main draw, Summer Olympics and Fed Cup matches. They do not include qualifying matches.
  • 5 2008: WTA Ranking–561, Tournaments–0, Win–Loss 0–0.
