Anna Kalinskaya faces Amanda Anisimova in a Cincinnati Open third-round match this afternoon that promises a battle of aggressive baseliners.
Kalinskaya arrives with momentum after reaching the final in the DC Open last month, defeating Magda Linette, Clara Tauson, and Emma Raducanu along the way.
Now ranked No. 34 after peaking at a career-high No. 11 last year, she has also notched wins this season over top Americans Jessica Pegula and Madison Keys.
She’ll be aiming to build on her recent form after a right thigh injury and other fitness setbacks earlier this year slowed her momentum.
The 23-year-old Anisimova, ranked No. 8, is in the midst of a breakout season, capturing her first WTA 1000 title in Doha, reaching the Wimbledon final, and climbing to a career-high ranking.
She now sets her sights on adding more WTA 1000 trophies and finally breaking through for her first Grand Slam title.
Kalinskaya–Anisimova Head-to-Head
Anisimova holds a 1–0 lead in their head-to-head, winning their only prior meeting at the 2024 Toronto Masters, after Kalinskaya retired early.
Prediction
Anisimova in two tight sets. Her aggressive return game and recent big-match experience should give her the edge against Kalinskaya’s streaky baseline play.
