Darja Vidmanova vs Anhelina Kalinina prediction
Darja Vidmanova reached her first tour-level final at the Memphis Classic and looked to be on course for the title as she easily took set one against Kristina Liutova. However, she would end up falling to a three set defeat to the 16-year-old. She had moved into the top 100 of the world rankings earlier this year.
She will face Anhelina Kalinina in round one of the Cincinnati Open. The Ukrainian’s campaign in Toronto was short-lived as she lost to Anna Bondar in the opening round. It’s still been a fine year for Kalinina, with two ITF titles and a final on the WTA Tour in Rabat. She is close to breaking into the top 50 once again.
Vidmanova has the far stronger record on this surface in 2026, despite being the lower ranked player. Nevertheless, Kalinina does have enough experience and class to make this a thoroughly competitive encounter.
