“Kalinskaya showed a decent game, but it seems that nervous fatigue appeared. Perhaps the final moments lacked the courage to make more meaningful decisions. But it depends on his physical condition. From the middle of the third set, the mistakes started, and they were also visible at the end of the second set. She tried to intensify the blows, but this sometimes led to failure. She seemed to be losing because of her own mistakes, but these were understandable given her desire to speed up the pace of the game. But she no longer had enough strength for that. She should have won the second set,” Tarpischev commented.
Kalinskaya failed to win her first WTA singles title. At the tournament in Dubai, the Russian tennis player defeated three representatives of the top 10 – Iga Swiatek (1), Elena Ostapenko (9) and Cori Gauff (3).
