Anhelina Kalinina vs Xiyu Wang Prediction & Betting Tips - ATX Open
by Ian John in Tennis Predictions
Top seed Anhelina Kalinina (27) faces 6th seed Xiyu Wang in the ATX Open semi-finals on Saturday night. The Ukrainian came through her first two games in the tournament comfortably - defeating Sara Bejlek 6-3, 6-2 and then following that up with an even more comprehensive win over Maria Camila Serrano 6-3, 6-2. However, her quarter final didn't go quite so smoothly as she lost the first set 1-6 to French fifth seed Diane Parry. However, Kalinina dug in, taking a crucial second set 6-4, before securing the deciding set 6-2 to move into the semi-finals. It is her best performance in a tour event since reaching the final in Rome 2023 and she is now ranked 33rd in the WTA Live Rankings, comfortably the highest of any other player in this tournament.
Her opponent is Chinese left-hander Xiyu Wang (22) who has progressed through the tournament so far without dropping a set. Her biggest test came in her opening game against Argentina's Nadia Podoroska, with Wang winning a competitive game 7-5, 6-4. Next was a second round win over Latvia's Darja Semenistaja, who Wang made light work of, running out a very comfortable 6-1, 6-2 winner. Her quarter-final opponent Danielle Rose Collins promised to be a tougher task, but after winning the first set 6-2, Wang won by default after Collins could not continue the game through injury. Her semi-final appearance in Austin is the second tournament of the year where she has reached the final four after doing so in Auckland at the start of the year, where she was defeated by second seed Elina Svitolina at that stage of the competition. Xiyu Wang is now 57th oin the WTA Live Rankings, close to her career high of 49th.
