Anhelina Kalinina

Anhelina Kalinina builds rallies the way a point should be played: from the first strike forward. The 29-year-old from Ukraine backs her right-handed groundstrokes with consistent depth, letting errors come from the opponent rather than forcing her own. That discipline carries her through longer exchanges and pays off in tight moments.

Numbers support the patience. Kalinina owns 10 career titles, and her 2025 form through 38 matches shows 30 wins against eight losses, a 79 percent clip. Ranked 49th with 1115 points, she turns defense into offense without flashy risks. Her court movement keeps her in points, and her trust in court position drags out rallies until a window opens. When that happens, she pulls the trigger, usually near the backhand line, and the point ends on her terms.
