McCartney Kessler, the seventh seed at the Lexus Eastbourne Open, has a second-round fixture against Anhelina Kalinina. This will mark the first meeting between two players who have only been able to go past the second round twice this season. Kalinina is a former quarter-finalist here, and our prediction favors her.
Kessler comes into this encounter having ended her three-match losing streak. She beat former Eastbourne champion Daria Kasatkina in the opening round.
It was a rare straight-set win for the American, the first time in six matches that she didn’t lose a set. Keeping that up will call for a lot more, as she has only established a 48.8%-win rate against top-100-ranked opponents across the last 52 weeks.
Kalinina has posted six wins in her latest nine outings and will be fired up for this one. She beat qualifier Daria Snigur in an all-Ukrainian affair in the first round.
This will be the first time she plays a second-round match since her run to the final in Rabat. On her grass debut for the season, Kalinina’s race only went as far as the qualifiers in Berlin.
Having played in both tour-level and challenger events, Kalinina takes into this round a 36-12 record. She arrives for this encounter sitting 67th in the live rankings.

Our McCartney Kessler vs Anhelina Kalinina Prediction
Anhelina Kalinina is more experienced at this stage, being a former Eastbourne Open quarter-finalist. She is not too rusty even as she returns here after a two-year hiatus. The Ukrainian holds a 7-3 record in Eastbourne and has had a better season than Kessler, her highlight being the Rabat final.
With six wins in her last nine matches, the 29-year-old has the momentum to take her past the second round for only the third time. Kessler lost six of her last 10 outings and may just be short of confidence. Our prediction for McCartney Kessler v Anhelina Kalinina is that Anhelina Kalinina wins.
