Ivana Jorović[2] (Serbian Cyrillic: Ивана Јоровић; born 3 May 1997) is a former tennis player from Serbia.
In her career, she won thirteen singles and three doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. On 15 July 2019, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 86. On 17 July 2017, she peaked at No. 299 in the doubles rankings.
A day later, Serbia played against Hungary, and Ivana was chosen for the first match against Dalma Gálfi. She won that match, letting her opponent win only one game. Later, together with Aleksandra Krunić, she lost to Hungarian pair Tímea Babos/Réka Luca Jani, in three sets.[7]
In the Group I Play-offs, Serbia played against Croatia. Again, Jorović was chosen for the opening match and she defeated Ana Konjuh in three sets. She also should have competed in doubles, but Serbia already had won 2–0, so the match was cancelled.[8]
In April, Serbia played against Paraguay for a place in the World Group II in the Play–offs. Jorović lost her match against Verónica Cepede Royg, in three sets,[9] but with Krunić she won in doubles against Cepede Royg and Montserrat González, in straight sets.[10]
In August, Jorović reached her second final of the season at the $25k Woking event, losing to Tereza Smitková. In her next tournament, the $25k event in Chiswick, she reached the semifinals losing to Vitalia Diatchenko. In late August, she made it to the quarterfinals of a $60k event in Budapest, where she lost to Barbara Haas.
In the Asian swing, Jorović reached the main draw of two WTA Tour events through qualifying in Guangzhou and Tashkent, respectively. She lost in the first round in Guangzhou, but beat Ekaterina Alexandrova in Tashkent for her first WTA Tour main-draw match win, before losing to Vera Lapko in the second round. She lost in the final qualifying round in Moscow to Vera Zvonareva and lost in the first round of main draw of the WTA 125 Mumbai Open, but won the $100k Shenzhen Longhua Open beating Zheng Saisai in the final for her biggest career title. Her final tournament of the season was the WTA 125 Taipei Open where she beat Sabina Sharipova in the first round, before losing to Tereza Martincová in the second.

^The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
