Angelina Kalinin

Regardless of the outcome of the upcoming final, Kalina can be satisfied with herself, she did not play for six months and gave a brilliant performance. Yes, it is a challenger, but the composition is not bad, the Ukrainian has passed several rivals from the top 100. Perhaps such a break became a kind of moral reset, because in terms of playing qualities, Angelina could easily be in the top 50, and maybe even higher, but she often lacked stability to push her rivals.

At this tournament, the Ukrainian started with a victory over Deichmann from Liechtenstein – 6:2, 6:2, followed by a difficult match against the British Kartal – 7:6, 1:6, 6:1. I had to play three sets against the American Parks – 7:5, 1:6, 6:3. In the semi-finals, Kalinin defeated the first seed of the tournament, the Spaniard Kristina Bux – 6:4, 6:3.

Elsa Jacquemo

This season, the French athlete can definitely make an asset, she rose in the rating by 100 positions, which allows her to be in the middle of the first hundred. Jacquemo even took one ITF title in Poland, which also adds confidence.

At this tournament, the athlete beat compatriot Pake – 6:2, 6:2, then she coped with the Czech Knutson – 6:3, 6:2. Next was another representative of the Czech Republic, Shyshkova – 3:6, 6:3, 6:4. The semi-final match against the German Friedzam was difficult – 6:2, 2:6, 7:5, she managed to win the match only from the fifth match point. Jacques is the second seed in this tournament, in the final she will play against a strong and uncomfortable opponent.

Personal meetings

The athletes know each other well, because they played against each other three times, in all cases the Ukrainian won. Tennis matches turned out to be intense, because in two cases it took three sets to determine the winner. I would like to note the fact that the athletes played only once on hard court, two matches were held on clay.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not select a favorite, this makes sense, the Ukrainian has more experience and a psychological advantage, taking into account the history of face-to-face confrontations.

Jaquemo will play in front of her native audience, she is 6 years younger, although Kalinina is 28, so it is still too early to enroll her in the veterans. I expect an exciting battle and bet on a clear victory of the Ukrainian athlete at 1.87.
