Few expected such a mature version of Anna Kalinskaya in 2024, but the Russian player has shown that she already has the version suitable to compete against anyone. So far, in three months he has already finished Barbora Krejcikova (Adelaide), Jelena Ostapenko (Dubai), Coco Gauff (Dubai), Iga Swiatek (Dubai) and again Jelena Ostapenko (Miami). Or what is the same, she has become the fourth player outside the top20 capable of adding so many wins against rivals from the top10 in the first quarter of the calendar. And be careful that now she comes to Maria Sakkari, so the statistic could gain weight.
5 – Defeating Jelena Ostapenko, Anna Kalinskaya has five WTA top 10 wins in 2024, becoming only the fourth player this century to achieve as many wins in the first three months of a season while ranked outside the WTA’s top 20.
