Xinyu Wang vs Anna Kalinskaya prediction

Xinyu Wang made an assured start to her US Open campaign as she beat Emiliana Arango in straight sets. The Chinese player needed just 78 minutes to win 6-4 6-2. She arrived in New York with some encouraging hard court form as she beat Hanne Vandewinkel and came from a set down to defeat Donna Vekic in Cincinnati. Her run ended against world number one Aryna Sabalenka, but Wang has now won three of her last four matches.

Anna Kalinskaya also progressed in straight sets, as she got past Anna Blinkova. The 21st seed won 6-4 6-3 after an hour and 28 minutes. She created 11 break point opportunities across the match. 

Wang won their most recent match in Strasbourg two years ago, and she possesses enough first-strike power to trouble Kalinskaya again. The Russian is the more consistent ball-striker, but Wang’s recent level suggests this should not be straight-forward. This could end up going to a deciding set.
