McCartney Kessler and Anhelina Kalinina are set for their first-ever meeting in Eastbourne, both targeting a quarterfinal berth. Kessler regained momentum with a comeback win over Kasatkina, halting a losing streak and seeking successive main-draw wins for just the second time this season. Kalinina, having rebounded from injury-related ranking drops, has shown recent promise but holds a poor record in grass second rounds. Given Kessler's greater consistency on tour this year, she is considered a slight favorite in this matchup.

Kalinina’s resurgence has been one of the positives of her season, but Kessler has remained the more reliable performer in recent months. That consistency gives the American the edge in this matchup.

Kessler Looks To Seize Her Chance

  • Kessler has not registered multiple main-draw wins at an event since April. 
  • She owns a 10–7 record against players outside the Top 50 this year. 
  • Kalinina holds a 1–7 record in second-round grass-court matches. 
  • She is looking to reach her second Eastbourne quarterfinal.

This will be their first meeting.

Kessler Overcomes Slow Start to Beat Kasatkina

McCartney Kessler advanced to the second round with a 6-3, 7-6 victory over Daria Kasatkina. The American trailed 0-3 in the second set but recovered to close out the match in straight sets. 

The win ended a three-match losing streak, which included opening-round defeats at both Queen's Club and Nottingham. Kessler now has the chance to record consecutive main-draw wins for only the second time in her grass-court career, the first coming during her title run in Nottingham last year. 

Since the shoulder injury she suffered at the end of last season, her results have declined. She has registered multiple main-draw wins at only two tour-level events this year, reaching the quarterfinals in Abu Dhabi and Charleston. Another win this week would put her into a third quarterfinal of the season.

Anhelina Kalinina Advances in Eastbourne

Anhelina Kalinina moved into the second round with a 7-6, 7-5 victory over Daria Snigur. The Ukrainian trailed by a break on three separate occasions in the opening set but recovered each time before closing out the match in straight sets. 

Kalinina fell outside the top 200 earlier this season after returning from injury, but her results have improved significantly in recent months. She reached four consecutive WTA 125 finals, added a runner-up finish in Rabat, and made the third round in Madrid. Those results have lifted her back into the top 70 rankings. 

She heads into this match with a 1-7 record in second-round matches on grass. Her only grass-court quarterfinal came in Eastbourne in 2022, which remains her best result on the surface.

Verdict

Anhelina Kalinina has shown an impressive resurgence this year and has steadily put together strong results in recent months. McCartney Kessler, meanwhile, has been operating slightly below her best level since returning from injury. However, considering their recent performances and overall level, Kessler still holds a slight edge in this matchup.
