President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFT) Shamil Tarpishchev expressed the opinion that Anna Kalinskaya by the end of 2024, she could enter the top 10 of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings.
On Saturday, Kalinskaya lost to Italian Jasmine Paolini in the final of the Dubai tournament (6:4, 5:7, 5:7). In the third set, the Russian led with a score of 5:4. The meeting lasted 2 hours 16 minutes.
— Kalinskaya can be congratulated. Anna has been an interesting player all her life. The way Anya played with Szwiatek, she could have played like that when she was 20. But a series of injuries prevented that opportunity. Nature gave him a good tennis spirit. She feels the ball well, plays very smart and tactical – that’s a big plus. Maybe before there was a bit of a lack of quality, when you have to play until the end, I can’t, as it should have been from the start: I have to, I have to, I have to. She lost a lot due to her injuries.
I think she is definitely in the top ten in terms of intelligence and playing skills. After getting rid of her injuries, she has found herself and is playing some of her best tennis. I think at the end of the year she might well be in the top ten,” Tarpishchev said, as quoted by Championship.
Kalinskaya is 25 years old and in the updated version of the WTA rankings, the Russian will move from 40th to 24th place.
