A fairytale Monday for Anna Kalinskaya
A fairy-tale Monday for Anna Kalinskaya
A fairytale Monday for Anna Kalinskaya. The Russian tennis player, in fact, reached her personal best ranking in the WTA rankings where she gained one position over Czech Barbara Krejcikova and now occupies the twelfth position.
In short, the week could not have started better for Jannik Sinner’s partner, who in the meantime, after yet another triumph in the Shanghai Masters 1000, dominates more and more the ATP ranking with a beauty of 4800 points ahead of Carlos Alcaraz, in second place in the rankings.
Kalinskaya will want to celebrate the good news at her debut in the WTA 500 in Ningbo, where No. 1 seed Jasmine Paolini withdrew due to a left foot problem. The Russian will face compatriot Anastasia Potapova in the first round of the Ningbo Open.
Kalinskaya leads 2-0 in the previous rounds with Potapova: the 25-year-old Muscovite è won in three sets in the first round of the Moscow WTA 500 in 2019 and in two sets in the second qualifying round of the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati in 2022.
