Kalinina Enjoying a Decent Year
Anhelina Kalinina is having a career-defining spell in 2023. Now ranked World No. 25 – a career-best feat for the Ukrainian – she is 16-13 as of Sunday, June 18.
The highlight is undoubtedly her runner-up feat in the Italian Open, where she went up against Elena Rybakina but retired in the second set due to fitness concerns. in that tournament, Anhelina did beat a handful of big names like Madison Keys, Sofia Kenin, Beatriz Haddad Maia, and Veronika Kudermetova.
Kalinina’s other best results include a quarterfinal showing in Hobart and round-three stints in the Australian Open and WTA Dubai.
That said, consistency has eluded the 26-year-old time and again. That spell in Rome was preceded & proceeded by early exits in Paris, Madrid, and Charleston.
Most recently, she featured in the Nottingham Open, where she fell to Harriet Dart in round two.

Parks in a Rocky Boat
Alycia Parks, age 22, is the current World No. 43 and like Kalinina, she is too at a career-high in the singles ranking.
Her best run came in Lyon, where she won her maiden WTA title, beating none other than Caroline Garcia in the final. Since then, the American has tried to emulate such results but to little avail.
There have been only two tournaments since the Lyon Open where Parks has won more than one match in a week – the Madrid Open (round three) and WTA Rabat (quarterfinal).
That said, Alycia is on a two-match losing streak now – having fallen in round one in the French Open to Marketa Vondrousova and to Lin Zhu in the Nottingham Open opener.
Kalinina v Parks Prediction and Tip
Kalinina has the odds in her favour for this one, but her recent shaky results tell a different story. Lucky for her, Parks is navigating a similar tide.
Both players have shown they are capable of pulling the big guns when needed, which makes this a promisingly entertaining affair.
Tips:
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 20.5 games: 5/6
