Paula Badosa vs Anhelina Kalinina prediction
Paula Badosa arrives in Romania on the back of a Challenger title in Bastad.
The Spaniard’s quality is not up to question and it is all about how her body stands up to the rigours of the tour.
The former world number two now sits at 115 in the world and will be the underdog against Anhelina Kalinina.
The Ukrainian world number 59 is predominantly at her best on clay, but if Paula can find her rhythm she has the power to dominate here.
In terms of names, it wouldn’t be an upset but ranking-wise there is a gulf and Badosa certainly seems to be posting more consistent results in recent months.
