Anna Kalinskaya: a crucial day is coming
Anna Kalinskaya: a crucial day is coming
Wednesday is crucial for Anna Kalinskaya: the Russian tennis player returns to the court in Indian Wells after the disappointments of early 2025. The Muscovite athlete starts again in the US with the aim of fighting back after early-season difficulties that caused her to sink to 33rd place in the WTA rankings. There's a wait to understand the physical condition of Anna, who è has been drawn with the U.S. Alycia Parks.
The American currently occupies the 61st position in the rankings and in her two previous matches has always lost to the Russian, who beat her in 2023 just in Indian Wells with a ruthless 6-1, 6-1. Kalinskaya last season made it all the way to the round of 16 in the American tournament, defeated by Jasmine Paolini.
A few days ago, the Russian tennis player released a video of her training sessions: a clear sign of her determination and desire to turn around and put the negative period behind her.
Should she win against Parks, Kalinskaya would face compatriot Diana Shnaider, number 13 on the scoreboard, in the second round. Jannik Sinner’s presence in Indian Wells is unlikely: the two have not had public contact since the Australian Open.
