Angelina Kalinin

The Ukrainian athlete fell out of the top 100 last season and will miss six months. In December, Kalinin was able to take the trophy in Limoges – there was a good line-up at that WTA 125 tournament.

The athlete tried to play in Adelaide, but immediately lost in the qualification to the Hungarian Bondar – 4:6, 6:7. The first major of the season also had to start with the qualifying matches, where she managed to beat Garland from Taiwan – 7:5, 6:2, Koovermans from the Netherlands – 7:6, 6:0, and in the final there was a victory over Khwalinska from Poland – 5:7, 6:2, 6:1.

A good performance in the qualification clearly increased Kalinina’s self-confidence, the Ukrainian at the Australian Open reached the third round as much as possible, she should try to beat her personal record.

Wang Xinyu

The Chinese athlete should be familiar to Ukrainian tennis fans, because it was Wang who recently played in the final of the tournament in Oakland, where she lost to Elina Svitolina – 3:6, 6:7. Although she did not manage to take the title, the tennis player can definitely be satisfied with her performance, because she passed such opponents as: American McNally – 2:6, 6:3, 7:5, Mexican Sarasua – 7:5, 6:4, British Jones – 6:4, 4:3 and Francesca withdrew. And in the semifinals there was a difficult victory over Eala from the Philippines – 5:7, 7:5, 6:4.

There was also a tournament in Hobart, where the Chinese woman started with a victory over the Australian Gibson – 6:2, 6:3, and then there was a defeat against Lynette from Poland – 1:6, 5:7. Wang has never advanced beyond the second round at an Australian major.

Forecast

Statistics show that the athletes have never played against each other, and on paper the Chinese woman is a slight favorite. Two strong middleweights meet, so you can expect an approximately equal fight.

It is important for tennis players to show their strengths. I think a match like this could drag on, which is why I’m betting the total over 20.5 games at 1.74.
