THE PREDICTION

World number 34 Anhelina Kalinina first came to the fore on tour with a brilliant run to the quarter-finals of the Madrid Open last season, stunning Sloane Stephens, Garbine Muguruza and Emma Raducanu before a defeat to Jil Teichmann. The 26-year-old went on to enjoy a career-best run of for on the natural surfaces, particularly clay, and she has some eye-catching results this season over Petra Kvitova and Veronika Kudermetova despite some disappointing overall form. World number 59 Mayar Sherif claimed her maiden WTA title on clay at the Emilia-Romagna Open last summer, stunning Maria Sakkari in the final. The Egyptian dropped the first set of her first round clash with Camila Giorgi but took the second before her opponent was forced to retire injured and that match practice in Madrid’s high altitude should aid her here. Kalinina beat Sherif in three sets in their only previous tour-level encounter at the US Open back in 2021 and despite Sherif’s prowess on clay the Ukrainian should have too much for her here. Back Kalinina to win outright.
