2015: Fed Cup debut

On 4 February, Jorović played her first Fed Cup match, in Europe/Africa Zone Group I, where Serbia played against Austria. She defeated Barbara Haas in straight sets. After that, she made her debut in doubles in Fed Cup, partnering Aleksandra Krunić; they won against Austrian combination Julia Grabher / Sandra Klemenschits, in straight sets.

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.

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.

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, but with Krunić she won in doubles against Cepede Royg and Montserrat González, in straight sets.
