LiontipsAngelique Kerber vs Anhelina Kalinina. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA US Open
Command Analysis
Since June Angelique Kerber recorded 16 victories on tour. Interesting enough that before that, since the start of the year, she recorded only eight victories. An experienced German player managed to regain form, so we shouldn't underestimate her in our predictions.
Kerber got a difficult draw at New York. In the first round she had to play against Dayana Yastremska. It was an extremely contested match, the outcome was decided only on a tiebreak of the third set (3:6, 6:4, 7:6). Due to her experience and her skills to play accurate in key moments Angelique managed to secure a spot in the second round.
Now she will play against another Ukrainian player, Anhelina Kalinina. Kerber will be extremely motivated, because she was beaten by Kalinina in Roland Garros (2:6, 4:6).
Transition to hard after a great clay part of the season turned out to be unsuccessful for Anhelina Kalinina. In two tournaments in Chicago Ukrainian player failed to record a single victory.
Nonetheless, Anhelina started the New York tournament with a victory. In the first round she played against an even opponent, Sherif. After a defeat in the first set Kalinina improved her performance and left no chance to her opponent in two next sets (4:6, 6:1, 6:1).
