Elena Rybakina v Anhelina Kalinina Head to Head
They never played against each other.
Also Read:
Rybakina Hopeful For Clay Success
Elena Rybakina plays her best tennis on hard courts because hard courts allow her unleash her devastating first serve as well as her strong baseline play. Clay courts usually don’t enhance that parts of her game but she still plays a rather fine tennis on the surface.
It’s about being consistent enough for Rybakina and quite oftentimes she lacks it. Even recently she played superb tennis in Indian Wells and Miami and then she simply can’t sustain that level and she loses a match. Kalinina will prove a very tough opponent because she won’t wait for her to attack.
She will attack herself and that leaves Rybakina in a very weird spot. She is also not a great mover on the surface and that will be tough to overcome. It’s a proper challenge for her and perhaps that will force her to adopt some variety in her game. It would help her overall as she doesn’t have a plan B when things go south.

Kalinina Finally Gets on to Clay
Kalinina will be super happy about being back on clay as the Ukrainian plays her best tennis on the surface. And the level she has on clay is pretty darn good as not many players can rival her level when she truly plays to her full potential.
She is an all-out attacker who doesn’t wait for rallies to develop but rather attacks immediately. That works most of the time but sometimes she just misses too much and those are the matches she typically loses. It will take some time to find her rhythm but she will cherish the chance to go against Rybakina.
She posted a 31-4 record on clay last year and that tells you all you need to know. She defeated a very tricky player in Sasnovich in round one and that was a good warm-up for her.
Rybakina v Kalinina Prediction and Tip
They never played before but even so, it’s quite obvious which player is the far better player on clay. It’s Kalinina and it’s not even close but the saving grace for Rybakina could be the fact that they are playing on green clay. It’s a fasted surface that generally gives Rybakina more chance to win this match.
Even so, I think that Kalinina will pull it out as I think that she generally plays better on the surface. It’s green clay but it’s still clay and I think the Ukrainian will have a chance to exploit Rybakina’s 2nd serve. She can attack it and force her on the defensive and that’s game over.
Tip: Kalinina to win in straight sets: 13/10 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
