THE PREDICTION

World number 35 Anhelina Kalinina has impressed so far this week in Austin, playing a rare role as the top seed to blast through her first two rounds before a solid comeback over Diane Parry on Friday. The 27-year-old is at her most comfortable on clay but she has impressed across surfaces in recent seasons, albeit in the first half of the year before often falling away on the late hardcourt swing. World number 64 Xiyu Wang took the first set from Austin favourite Danielle Collins before her opponent was forced to retire, seeing the Chinese youngster through to the semi-finals without dropping a set. The 22-year-old took a set from Jelena Ostapenko before defeat in Dubai last week to suggest she is building back form of her previous, gutsy form, but back Kalinina to earn at least a set as the likelier of two capable finalists from this first tour-level encounter.

TIP: ANHELINA KALININA TO WIN A SET
