Belinda Bencic vs Anna Kalinskaya prediction
Belinda Bencic will hope to make it a high five against Anna Kalinskaya.
The Swiss star boasts a 4-0 record against the Russian, although this will be their first showdown on clay.
The 12th seed has been excellent so far in 2026 and swept to a 6-4 6-1 success over Bianca Andreescu to snare an 18th win of the season.
Kalinskaya was made to work hard for a 4-6 7-6 7-5 win over Katerina Siniakova and given the history of the match-up with Bencic, you feel the 22nd seed won’t have the consistency over the course to match the Swiss miss.
