Iva Jovic had not advanced beyond the third round at a Grand Slam before this year's Australian Open
A "shining light", the "ultimate professional" and "great news for women's tennis" - rising star Iva Jovic has earned plenty of plaudits on her run to the Australian Open last eight.
But it will be Novak Djokovic's words, more than anyone else's, that will spur the 18-year-old on as she prepares for her first Grand Slam quarter-final.
"She definitely has all the tools to be a future champion and a future number one," the 24-time major winner said before Jovic's match against Aryna Sabalenka.
The teenager has enjoyed a stellar run in Melbourne, becoming the youngest American woman to reach the quarter-finals since 17-year-old Venus Williams in 1998.
