Diana Shnaider vs Anna Kalinskaya prediction
Diana Shanider continued her encouraging form with a straight-forward first-round win in Tokyo against Dayana Yastremksa. The Russian broke Yastremska’s serve on six occasions and created 12 break point opportunities in total as she won 6-3 6-1 after just an hour and four minutes. Shnaider reached the semi-finals in Ningbo last week and is eyeing up another deep run here.
Anna Kalinskaya is her next opponent. She also won 6-3 6-1 in the first-round as she beat Suzan Lamens. She did go a break down in the first set, but Kalinskaya responded by winning 10 of the last 11 games to complete an emphatic victory. That was her first victory in three matches.
Shnaider seems to have some momentum with her after some positive results during the last week, but Kalinskaya can always be a dangerous opponent on this surface. There’s a strong chance that this heads into a deciding set, with no clear favourite.
