Command Analysis
Anna Kalinskaya
Russian FederationCurrent form
Kalinskaya has not been very successful in Asia, even rare victories are hard for her. In Ningbo, Anna broke the resistance of Hong, who is noticeably inferior in class, in only three sets in the first round (3-6, 6-3, 6-4). She lacks consistency in her serve, and she can’t get into the game right away.
Professional qualities
The Russian tennis player tries to act quickly on the court, immediately taking the initiative in rallies into her own hands. Plus, Anna has a powerful first serve in her arsenal, and on the back line, when in shape, she is also able to reliably work and, thanks to her fast footwork, pull out the most difficult balls.
Current indicators in the tour
At the moment, Kalinskaya is the 12th racket in the world - this is her personal record. On open hard courts, the Russian tennis player has played 38 matches since the beginning of the year, in which she won 27 victories.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last two matches, Kalinskaya played three sets each
- Only in one of the Russian tennis player previous five matches were more than nine games played in the second set
Yue Yuan
ChinaCurrent form
In the second half of the season, Yuan Yue noticeably slowed down and even in her usual conditions in Asia, she is performing poorly. In none of the three previous Asian tournaments has the Chinese tennis player made it past more than one round. In Ningbo, she had a fairly easy match against Tomljanovic at the start (6-4, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Yuan Yue stands out on the court for her agility and ability to get the most difficult balls from the back line. The Chinese tennis player is not particularly stable on her serve, it is clearly not the most formidable weapon in her hands.
Current indicators in the tour
Yuan Yue had a strong first half of the season, winning the Austin tournament and playing in the quarterfinals of Indian Wells. Her results have worsened since then, but the Chinese tennis player still ranks high at 46th place in the world rankings. She has achieved her greatest success on her specialty hard court – 23 wins and 14 losses.
Interesting facts for betting
- In her last five matches, Yuan Yue has only exchanged winning sets with her opponents once.

1.51Tip and bets
Kalinskaya is not showing her best tennis at the end of the season and is unlikely to confidently beat her stubborn opponent from China in two sets. At the start in Ningbo, Yuan Yue defeated the experienced Tomlyanovich, worked reliably on the back line and is quite capable of fighting for victory with Anna.
Our prediction is Yuan Yue victory with a handicap of (+4) games with odds of 1.64
Bet on total
Anna played three sets with Hon, problems with entering the game are noticeable. We think that today the meeting will also be drawn out for Kalinskaya, we do not exclude an exchange of won sets.
The second bet is total over 21 games for 1.84
Bet on the first set
Note that four of Yuan Yue previous six matches saw more than nine games played in the first set. We expect a close fight to start the game.
Forecast - total games in the first set over 9.5 with odds of 2.21
