Kalinina Seizes Lucky Loser Chance
Anhelina Kalinina entered this week as a lucky loser after falling to Aliaksandra Sasnovich in qualifying, but made the most of her chance by defeating Panna Udvardy 5-7, 6-1, 6-0 from a set down.
This is her first tour-level main-draw win since last year’s French Open. She had entered three tour-level events earlier this season, all ending in qualifying or first-round exits.
Kalinina was ranked around the top 50 before an injury sidelined her for six months. Since returning, she has struggled at tour level but found rhythm in lower-tier events, reaching four consecutive WTA 125 finals before this week.

Vekic Looks To Extend Momentum
Donna Vekic moved into the second round with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 win over Katie Volynets. It marks her third straight win this week after coming through qualifying with victories over Carole Monnet and Iryna Shymanovich.
She is now aiming to register multiple main-draw wins on tour for the first time since her quarterfinal run in Chennai in October last year. She had chances earlier this season in Indian Wells and Charleston but fell to Jessica Pegula and Madison Keys.
Since her final run at the Paris Olympics 2024, her only clay quarterfinal in the last seven years, her level has dipped, leading to several early exits and a drop outside the top 100.

Verdict
Donna Vekic has shown some improvement in recent weeks, but her inconsistency remains a concern. Anhelina Kalinina, meanwhile, is still searching for her best level since returning from injury, yet her run of four consecutive WTA 125 finals on clay gives her confidence and momentum. That could help Kalinina push further in this event.
