Kalinina Knocks Out Yastremska

Anhelina Kalinina arrived in Dubai with the singles ranking of World No. 33 – two spots shy of her career-best ranking of #31. If things continue to go well for her this week, she may very well make her top 30 debut next Monday.

In round two, she defeated her compatriot Dayana Yastremska 5-7, 6-2, 6-3, in a little over two and a half hours. It may not have been the most efficient of the matches, but she did win eight out of 10 breakpoints while having her serve broken only five out of a potential 17 times.

That victory followed a marathon three-hour affair against the in-form Veronika Kudermetova in the first round, where Kalinina held her own and walked away with a well-deserved victory.

The 26-year-old is now 9-5 in 2023 and looks set to surpass her quarterfinal showing in Hobart in January. Last year, she was 34-22 and joined the ranks in the top 50.

Pliskova Stuns Sakkari

Karolina Pliskova will be pleased with how she has fared in Dubai so far. Yet to drop a set, the 30-year-old is playing the kind of tennis that made her a regular part of the top 10 and the number one player on tour.

She delivered the biggest win of the season, beating the sixth seed Maria Sakkari 6-1, 6-2 in just 70 minutes. Perhaps, it was a sloppy performance from the Greek, but Pliskova did well to capitalise on it. In the opener, she delivered a similar win – dismissing Marketa Vondrousova 6-3, 6-4.

Her season so far has been rocky – a breakthrough quarterfinal stint in the Australian Open was sandwiched between early-round exits in Adelaide, Abu Dhabi, and Doha.

That said, Pliskova is a two-time Grand Slam finalist with 32 WTA career finals to her name. Her rich experience is enviable and can serve her well on her path to resurgence.

Pliskova v Kalinina Prediction and Tip

This should be an interesting match. Pliskova is not quite where she needs to be yet – evident from shaky results – but she should fancy her prospects. However, Kalinina herself looks fairly confident and determined. At the very least, the Ukrainian is well-poised to put up a fight.
