On the afternoon of Saturday, June 22, a quarter-final match will take place between girls at the prestigious grass tournament in Berlin, in which the Russian Anna Kalinskaya and the Belarusian Arina Sabalenka will meet. The bookmakers consider the 3rd racket in the world to be the obvious favorite of this confrontation.

This match was supposed to take place yesterday, but due to rainy weather, the organizers were forced to postpone the match until Saturday. The problem for the winner of the match is that a few hours after the end of the match there will be a semi-final match, the opponent of which is already known – Belarusian Victoria Azarenka managed to earn a ticket to the 1/2 finals . Friday.
In personal meetings, Aryna Sabalenka has an advantage. In fact, tennis players met only twice at the professional level, and each time success was on the side of the representative of Belarus. However, the last face-to-face took place almost two years ago. At the thousandth event in Cincinnati, tennis players did not finish the match – with a score of 6:3, 4:1 in favor of Sabalenka, the Russian refused to continue the match due to injury. And the first duel between Arina and Anna happened in 2019 at the Australian Open. Then, in the first round of the competition, the Belarusian did not leave Kalinskaya any chance – 6:1, 6:4.
During the current tournament in Berlin, our tennis player had a bit of luck. Czech tennis player Marketa Vondrousova, seeded number 5, refused to continue the match against Kalinska in the 1/8 final due to injury with a score of 5:5 in the first set. Thus, Anna reached the quarter-finals without much difficulty. But Arina Sabalenka had a full-fledged match at the previous stage of the tournament, defeating Russian Daria Kasatkina with a score of 6:1, 6:4.
