Andrei Olkhovsky, two-time winner of Grand Slam tournaments in mixed doubles, called the Russian’s performance a great success Anna Kalinskaya to the quarter-finals of the 2024 Australian Open.
On Monday, Kalinskaya defeated 26th-seeded Italian Jasmine Paolini in the fourth round of the tournament with a score of 6:4, 6:2.
— For Kalinskaya, reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open is a big success. True, Paolini beat Blinkova at the previous stage, in whose place Rybakina should have been. If everything had happened like this, it would have been a completely different story. In any case, Kalinskaya is great, she shows stable and fast tennis. It is also worth noting that both rivals played for the first time at this stage of the tournament, and it was rather a struggle with nerves: whoever handles them better will advance further. It seems to me that today, among women, from the top ten, everyone can win, ”Olkhovsky told RT.
In the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, the Russian will face the Chinese Zheng Qingwen (12th seed).
