THE PREDICTION

World number 75 Anna Kalinskaya grabbed an eye-catching upset over Barbora Krejcikova at the Adelaide International this week, going on to lose in three to eventual runner-up Daria Kasatkina in the round of 16. The 25-year-old enjoyed the form of her career last spring with strong runs on the early clay swing but she missed a big chunk of the summer through injury. World number 103 Katie Volynets qualified the hard way this week with a solid comeback against in-form Julia Riera and she has enjoyed some strong work on the ITF circuit to repair her ranking coming into 2024. Kalinskaya did beat the American in comfortable straight sets at the Tampico Challenger in late October but this should be a tighter clash in their first tour-level encounter. Back Kalinskaya to earn at least a set as the likelier of two capable victors, with Volynets impressing with a run to the third round here last season.
