LiontipsAryna Sabalenka vs Anna Kalinskaya. Prediction and Betting TIps for WTA Cincinnati
Command Analysis
Aryna Sabalenka put up her best performance at Cincinnati in 2018, reaching the semifinals. After that Belarusian player was unable to make it past the round of 16.
It won't be easy for the World No. 7 player to beat her best result at Cincinnati. In two latest tournaments at San Jose and at Toronto Sabalenka failed to impress, her results were disappointing. She has won only one match in each of these competitions.
Anna Kalinskaya is performing at Cincinnati for the first time in her career and she already achieved a respectable result. Russian player started the tournament from qualification, beating Maria (6:1, 6:0) and Potapova (7:5, 6:1).
In the first round of a main draw Anna narrowly beat Trevisan (7:6, 7:5). Kalinskaya surely gained more match practice at local courts, giving her a slight advantage over Sabalenka ahead of the match.
