Anhelina Kalinina v Hailey Baptiste Head to Head
They never played before.

Kalinina the Rising Star
Anhelina Kalinina is a rising star on the WTA Tour experiencing a major breakthrough this year thanks to some spectacular play on clay especially. That’s her best surface and she does not hide that. Her game consists of very hard-hitting groundstrokes that are quite precise as well.
She is only 12-8 on the year but 7-3 on clay and the majority of those wins came in Madrid where she played in the semifinal. With all the parity on the WTA tour, it was enough for her to break into the top 50. She posted a brutal 31-4 record on clay last year but most of that came on the lower ends of the tour.
She played in Paris last year reaching the 2nd round and losing to Danielle Collins. She did beat Angelique Kerber in round one so keep that in mind.

Main Draw Once More for Baptiste
Hailey Baptiste reached the main draw of the Roland Garros once more. She made her debut last year getting in through the qualifiers and she did the same this year. It was a hard journey with 3-set matches in all three rounds and she was not rewarded by getting Kalinina in round one.
Baptiste is a very sturdy player that has a solid serve and is generally a very well rounded player. She can both attack and defend and her rise on the rankings has been a slow and steady process. She doesn’t play much but when she does she can be tricky to beat.
I don’t expect her to put up a huge effort here but I do think we will see moments of good tennis. How much that will help her remains to be seen as Kalinina is too good at the moment.
Kalinina v Baptiste Prediction and Tip
This matchup is firmly on the racquet of Kalinina. She retired in Rome not long ago which could have been fatigue from Madrid but also some injury. If she is not fully healthy it’s something to keep an eye on as Baptiste can play the long game.
A lot will depend on how Kalinina opens the match. If she is healthy she will win this easily. I do expect Baptiste to put up some fight but I don’t see her overpowering Kalinina, not on clay. Keep the health thing in mind but back her to get the job done in straight sets.
Tip: Kalinina to win in straight sets: 1/2 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
