Anna Kalinskaya vs Elina Svitolina prediction
Elina Svitolina will aim to continue her dominance over Anna Kalinskaya as she eyes another quarter final in 2026.
The Ukrainian is enjoying a sizzling start to the new campaign and thumped her compatriot Dayana Yastremska 6-1 6-4 to set up a fourth career meeting with the Russian.
Kalinskaya overcame Emma Navarro 7-5 2-6 6-2 in a hard-fought rollercoaster battle.
Svitolina won both of their showdowns on a hardcourt last year and also triumphed in Rome in 2024 to lead the head-to-head 3-0 without dropping a set.
Anna can certainly cause problems as the more attack-minded player here, but she clearly struggles with the efficiency and accuracy of Elina’s counter punching and we expect the seventh seed’s game-plan to work again in this one.
