Anna Kalinskaya will shoot for her first Wimbledon Open quarterfinals stint on Monday as she challenges former champion Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan on the center court of All England Club. Kalinskaya is playing the best tennis of her career, reaching her first-ever round-of-16 appearance without dropping a single set. The 25-year-old Russian toppled Panna Udvardy of Hungary 6-3 6-2, Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic 6-4 6-1, and Liudmila Samsonova of Russia 7-6(4) 6-2 to arrange a showdown with Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon Open ladies’ singles champion. Rybakina’s route to the round of 16 didn’t go as smoothly as Kalinskaya’s path. However, the Kazakh will plunge into her fourth-round match with high confidence following a massive win over future Hall of Famer Caroline Wozniacki 6-0 6-1 in the third round.
