Get Ready for a Thrilling Match: Anisimova vs. Kalinskaya!
Tennis fans, prepare yourselves! Anna Kalinskaya and Amanda Anisimova are set to clash in a highly anticipated third-round match at the Cincinnati Open. This promises to be a battle of aggressive baseliners, with both players known for their powerful groundstrokes and relentless attacking style.
Kalinskaya enters the match with significant momentum. Her recent run to the final at the DC Open, where she defeated formidable opponents like Magda Linette, Clara Tauson, and Emma Raducanu, showcases her current form. Ranked No. 34, Kalinskaya has also secured impressive victories against top American players Jessica Pegula and Madison Keys this season. She'll be looking to overcome earlier setbacks due to a right thigh injury and other fitness issues.
Anisimova, currently ranked No. 8, is enjoying a breakout season, highlighted by her first WTA 1000 title in Doha and a Wimbledon final appearance. The 23-year-old is determined to add more WTA 1000 trophies to her collection and break through for her maiden Grand Slam title.
Head-to-Head Record
Anisimova holds a slight edge in their head-to-head record, with a 1-0 lead. She won their only prior meeting at the 2024 Toronto Masters after Kalinskaya was forced to retire early. This match is expected to be a tight contest, with Anisimova's aggressive return game and big-match experience potentially giving her the advantage against Kalinskaya's sometimes streaky baseline play.
