Anhelina Kalinina Form

Anhelina Kalinina had a poor start to the year, beaten in the first rounds in Brisbane, Adelaide and the Australian Open.

The 27-year-old didn’t do much better in the Middle East, exiting in the second rounds in Abu Dhabi and Doha before a first round exit in Dubai.

The Ukranian hasn’t faced a Top 50 player in Austin where she started by beating Sara Bejlek 6-3 6-2 and Camila Osorio 6-1 6-2. She had a slow start in the quarter-finals before coming home strong to get past Diane Parry 1-6 6-4 6-2.

Xiyu Wang Form

Xiyu Wang is 9-6 this year, her best result coming in a semi-final appearance in Auckland.

The 22-year-old did little of note in the Middle East, suffering first round exits in Abu Dhabi and Dubai ether side of a failed qualification campaign in Doha.

Wang’s serve has been broken once in Austin, beginning by beating Nadia Podoroska 7-5 6-4 and Darja Semenistaja 6-1 6-2. She was leading Danielle Collins 6-2 in the quarter-finals when Collins retired.

Verdict

Anhelina Kalinina v Xiyu Wang

Anhelina Kalinina hasn’t faced a Top 50 player in Austin where Xiyu Wang hasn’t lost a set. I am backing Wang’s serve to take her to victory in the semi-finals.
