Anna Kalinskaya getting lower and lower

Anna Kalinskaya more and moreù giù

Difficult times continue for Anna Kalinskaya. After disappointing weeks in Australia, eliminated in the first round in Brisbane and Adelaide, and forced to skip the Australian Open due to a physical problem, the Russian tennis player seemed to have recovered in Singapore, but è was forced to raise the white flag in the semifinals due to yet another injury.

Two more first-round defeats came in February: in Doha to Spain’s Cristina Bucsa, and the most recent in Dubai to Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina. In the ranking published by the WTA on Monday, February 17, Jannik Sinner’s fiancée è still in the top 20 but will remain there for a short time.

Kalinskaya, who still lost a ranking position, slipping to 19th in the world rankings, will also drop out of the top 30 at the end of the Dubai WTA 1000. The Russian, in fact, was defending the final she lost to Jasmine Paolini in 2024, and her first-round defeat to Svitolina will cause her to lose as many as 670 points.

The Russian will try to make up for it in the two American WTA 1000s in Indian Wells and Miami, scheduled for March, where she has few points to defend.
