Anna Kalinskaya vs Alina Korneeva prediction
Anna Kalinskaya was emphatic in her performance against Lois Boisson in the first round the other day, with a heavy 6-2, 6-2 victory at Roland Garros. Kalinskaya, the number 22 seed, has never made it past the second round at the French Open and her form on clay is mixed.
Alina Korneeva came through three rounds of qualification before then putting in an excellent performance to defeat Elisabetta Cocciaretto 6-3, 6-3 in the first round the other day. 18-year-old Korneeva has never won more than one game in an actual tournament after qualification.
Korneeva is promising and may fancy her chances of pinching a set against an opponent who isn’t elite on the surface but Kalinskaya does remain favourite.
Anna Kalinskaya vs Alina Korneeva tip: Anna Kalinskaya 2-1 Alina Korneeva
