Blinkova’s Winning Run Continues
World no. 138 Anna Blinkova continued her march forward in the tournament as she knocked out World no. 80 Wang Xinyu in a three-set second round contest on Thursday.
The Russian, who has come through the qualifiers, edged out the Chinese player in the opening set but she was outplayed by Wang in the second. Tables turned in the deciding set, as Blinkova raced to a 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 victory.
Blinkova converted all five break points that she held in the match and saved half of the eight that she faced.
The 24-year-old had qualified for the main draw with straight set wins over Lesia Tsurenko and Mirjam Bjorklund respectively. She kept the rhythm going in the first round, beating fellow Russian qualifier Anastasia Zakharova 6-1, 7-6 (9-7).
This is the first time that Blinkova has reached the last eight on the tour this year. She did reach a WTA 125 final in Saint Malo and three ITF finals but finished runner-up in all four finals. Can she make the semis?
Kalinina v Blinkova Prediction and Tip
Kalinina has been in better form throughout the season and has only competed in tour-level events this year, defeating some big names. But the fact that she has never beaten Blinkova in their past four meetings may put some pressure on the World no. 45. Expect a three-set contest, with Kalinina ending her winless record against the Russian.
