Sinja Kraus vs Anna Kalinskaya prediction
Sinja Kraus qualified for the tournament after wins over Tereza Martincova and Renata Zarazua. She attempted to do the same at the German Open, but lost to Lin Zhu in straight sets. She is up to a ranking high of 92 in the world, but her best results have been at lower-level events, which include two finals. Kraus has just one tour-level victory in 2026, and that occurred right at the start of the year in Auckland.
She will face Anna Kalinskaya in round one. The Russian was forced to retire from her opening match in Berlin against Elina Svitolina due to illness. She will hope for a far deeper run at this event on the eve of Wimbledon. The world number 20 progressed to the quarter-finals of Roland Garros, her joint best result of the season so far, but then suffered a surprise defeat to qualifier Maja Chwalinska.
The higher ranked Kalinskaya is the clear favourite to win this match.
