Anna Kalinskaya already knows how to do it

Anna Kalinskaya will face U.S. player Madison Keys on Saturday to enter the round of 16 of the WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid, a feat she has never achieved in her career in the past. The Muscovite tennis player, after overcoming France&#8217s Diane Parry in the first round, faces the top-ranked American, number five in the ATP rankings.

The precedents between the two tennis players are tied, with one win on each side: Kalinskaya won the’last match just a little over twenty days ago in Charleston by quickly imposing herself in two sets. Madison Keys&#8217s victory, on the other hand, dates back three years, when the American overcame the Muscovite in the first round at Roland Garros.

In the event of a win, the Russian, who many believe is no longer engaged to Jannik Sinner, would rise to 26th place in the WTA rankings.
