Anna Kalinskaya vs Elina Svitolina prediction

Anna Kalinskaya came into Montreal in great form on the back of her Washington Open final appearance and since then has racked up two more wins. She had to work hard for both of them though, needing three sets to beat both Ann Li and Elise Mertens. The victory over Mertens was particularly impressive, coming from a set down to defeat the 19th seed.

Elina Svitolina is seeded 10th and seven of ten break points being converted helped her to victory over Kamilla Rakhimova in straight sets. Svitolina’s ability to cover the court and match that with power on the baseline makes her strong proposition on the hard court. But she’s meeting an in-form Kalinskaya who is full of confidence and won’t be phased by a seeded opponent.

As was the case in each of Kalinskaya’s last two matches, it wouldn’t be a shock to see this one be fairly drawn out and potential go the full three sets. With that in mind, it’s worth making a play to back over 21.5 total games.
