Kalinskaya Back Inside the Top 20
Anna Kalinskaya's first match of the grass season ended in retirement against Elina Svitolina in Berlin. She was trailing by a set and 1-4 before retiring through injury. This week, she reached the second round after defeating Sinja Kraus.
The Russian returned to the top 20 rankings after reaching the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. She has played 12 events this year and registered multiple main-draw wins on five occasions, including quarterfinals in Doha, Charleston and Roland Garros, the fourth round in Rome and the third round at the Australian Open.
Kalinskaya has registered multiple main-draw wins on grass only twice in her career and both came in 2024. She reached the final in Berlin and the fourth round at Wimbledon during that stretch.

Elena-Gabriela Ruse Stuns Berlin Champion Noskova
Elena-Gabriela Ruse moved into the second round after a straight-sets upset of last week's Berlin champion Linda Noskova, 6-1, 7-6. The Romanian fired 13 aces and saved both break points she faced during the match. It was her first win over a top-10 player since 2024.
A few weeks ago in 's-Hertogenbosch, Ruse was unable to defend her runner-up points, losing to Barbora Krejcikova in the quarterfinals. That result still marked only the third grass-court quarterfinal of her career, and she now has a chance to add another one this week.
The Romanian has struggled for consistency this season. Before the grass swing, she played 12 tournaments and registered multiple main-draw wins only twice, reaching the semifinals in Linz and the third round at the Australian Open.

Verdict
Anna Kalinskaya has produced consistent results since the second half of last season, a run that helped her return to the top 20. Elena-Gabriela Ruse will be encouraged by her impressive win over Linda Noskova, but backing that up against another in-form opponent will be a difficult task. Given her consistency and overall level, Kalinskaya is favored to move further in the tournament.
