Player Overview

Anhelina Kalinina faces challenges as she approaches this match. With a career baseline win percentage around 45% on clay, her current form indicates a declining trajectory, marked by recent losses against players like K. Rakhimova and M. Kessler. Kalinina's serve has been inconsistent, often leading her into difficult positions during matches, impacting her overall performance.

Her last five matches show a troubling trend, with no wins and only a single set won against D. Snigur. This disheartening run raises concerns as she enters her clash with Badosa, who is riding high on confidence. Kalinina will need to find a way to regain her competitive edge if she hopes to challenge Badosa effectively.
