Jasmine Paolini vs Anhelina Kalinina prediction

Jasmine Paolini meets Anhelina Kalinina for a second time when they face off in Ningbo.

The Italian has dipped off in 2026 and it has started to show in the rankings with the former world number four now outside the top 30.

Kalinina remains a greater threat on clay and her recent form will offer Jasmine belief that she can once again get the better of the Ukrainian, having won on the dirt many moons ago now.

Paolini may not be the force of previous seasons, but she the surface and recent results suggest she should have too much here.
