Kalinina Finds Peak Form Again
Anhelina Kalinina defeated Panna Udvardy 6-0, 6-3 to reach the final in Rabat. She did not face a single break point and won 84 percent of her first-serve points during the match.
The Ukrainian has now won all four of her matches this week in straight sets. Despite dropping serve multiple times during her opening three matches, she showed strong resilience throughout the tournament.
Kalinina began the season outside the top 200 rankings after returning to tennis only in December following a six-month injury layoff. She quickly rediscovered her level by reaching four WTA 125 finals and the third round in Rome.
With this run in Rabat, Kalinina is set to return to the top 60 rankings next week. She now heads into the title match with a 0-2 record in tour-level finals.

Marcinko Builds Perfect Momentum
Petra Marcinko defeated Jil Teichmann 7-6, 6-3 to reach the final in Rabat. She let a 4-1 lead slip in the opening set but raised her level in the key moments to close out the match in straight sets.
The Croatian had never recorded multiple main-draw wins at tour level before this week, but she is now just one victory away from lifting her maiden title.
Marcinko endured a disappointing start to 2026 and even suffered an eight-match losing streak earlier in the season. However, her level has improved significantly since the clay swing began, highlighted by a semifinal run at the WTA 125 event in Oeiras.
Despite her limited experience on tour, Marcinko has built a strong record in lower-level finals. Last season, she reached five finals and won three of them, including the WTA 125 title in Rome.
