The Russian tennis player at the debut in the US tournament will face her doubles partner: the goal is to confirm her growth
Anna Kalinskaya scalped ahead of her debut in the Charleston Open tournament, where she hopes to confirm the progress made in Miami, after a start to the year that defining complicated is a euphemism. The Muscovite tennis player will face in the first round of the event in South Carolina no less than Caty McNally, her doubles partner in the last tournaments played.
Kalinskaya, number 33 in the world, is favored against the number 414, although in the only comparison between the two, in 2022 in St. Petersburg, it was the American who prevailed in three sets.
The two are friends and they teamed up in Miami, where they reached the round of 16 of the doubles, and Indian Wells, where they went to the quarterfinals.
The Russian tennis player, who has not unbuttoned on the current state of his relationship with Jannik Sinner, wants to climb the WTA standings in view of Roland Garros.
