Anna Kalinskaya, now it all gets complicated
Anna Kalinskaya, now it all gets complicated
The first 40 days of 2025 have been really difficult for Anna Kalinskaya. The Russian tennis player è exited immediately in Brisbane and was forced to withdraw in both Adelaide and the Australian Open. After disappointing weeks in Australia, the Moscow player hoped to pick herself up in Asia, but things did not go as she thought.
In Singapore, Jannik Sinner’s fiancée seemed to have gotten back on track, but è was forced to retire in the semifinals due to yet another physical problem. And on Sunday in Doha, Qatar, è came a new debacle with elimination in the first round against Spain's Cristina Bucsa, world number 116.
A bitter disappointment for the Russian, who was looking to 2025 as the year of consecration and consolidation at a high level. Anna Kalinskaya è still among the top 20 in the world but now risks slipping in the rankings: the Dubai WTA 1000 tournament kicks off in a week, where she will have to defend the place in the final she won last season, when she lost to Jasmine Paolini.
In case of another negative result, the exit from the Top 20 è practically a foregone conclusion for the Muscovite, who on Instagram è currently remains silent after her elimination in Doha.
