Ann Li vs Anna Kalinskaya prediction
Anna Kalinskaya’s wait for a first WTA title goes on after she was comprehensively beaten by Leylah Fernandez in the Washington Open final this past weekend. Kalinskaya never got going and could only win three games as the relentless Fernandez defeated her in straight sets. It was a shame after the 26-year-old had played so well across the tournament, beating Clara Tauson and Emma Raducanu.
However, Kalinskaya is strong-willed and good enough to shake that disappoint off quickly. This serves as the ideal opportunity for her to do that against USA’s Ann Li. Whilst Li’s powerful baseline game will pose a threat to Kalinskaya, the latter has been playing better tennis and is well worth backing to come through this one.
