Jovanovski made her WTA debut in 2010, and won her first WTA title at the Baku Cup two years later. A fixture for her country in Fed Cup, she won the Heart Award for commitment to her nation in 2011.
She appeared in eight ties over five years and helped Serbia reach the Fed Cup final in 2012. Jovanovski won a pair of WTA singles titles in her career and reached the second week of the Australian Open in 2013.
After a nearly two-year absence from tennis due to wrist and shoulder injuries which required surgery, Jovanovski attempted to return to the WTA at the St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy in February, and competed intermittently on the ITF Circuit and in WTA qualifying for the rest of this season. Though she's made the decision to hang up her racquets as a player, the Serb's future plans will continue to center around the sport.
"Tennis has given me a lot and enriched my life. I had a chance to travel the world, meet people and make friends for life. In the future, tennis will remain a big part of my life. I'm not leaving for good and without a plan," she added.
"My next goal is to graduate psychology and to continue with tennis activities but this time as a coach. Tennis is my life and my love and that will never change."
