Paula Badosa will meet Anna Kalinskaya, the eighth seed at Charleston, in the third round. Facing off for the second time, the two will be playing for a place in the last eight. Below we have a prediction for the match.
Badosa is marking her fifth appearance in Charleston. This time she hopes to go beyond her best – the semis, achieved in 2021. By virtue of starting from the first round, she has already clocked close to two hours more than Kalinskaya.
She, however, has the head-to-head advantage and will be confident after eliminating Maria Sakkari with a 2-0 win. Plagued by injuries, Badosa hasn’t won a lot over the last one year.
This season, her best on tour has been the third round in Brisbane.
Kalinskaya lost her only previous battle with Badosa in Cincinnati in 2024. She comes here eyeing revenge after beating qualifier Viktoriya Tomova in straight sets last time out.
Her season hasn’t been great either, having arrived in Charleston with two wins only from her earlier three events. For the Russian, staying in the top 30 has been well enabled by getting to five quarter-finals since July 2025.
She already registered one this season, in Doha, the only time in 2026 that she’s been past the third round. In her earlier two appearances in Charleston, Kalinskaya, 22nd in the live rank, never failed to reach the quarters.

Our Paula Badosa vs Anna Kalinskaya Prediction
Paula Badosa doesn’t command a very strong run ahead of this match, but she has a good recent record in clay matches. The Spaniard is a one-time semi-finalist at this event, though her progress has lately been curtailed by injuries.
She will look at Kalinskaya as beatable, but her opponent has had an impressive run against lower-ranked players. Kalinskaya will also be pushed by revenge, while she’s never failed to reach the quarters in Charleston. This looks like it will be a hard-fought clash. Our prediction for Paula Badosa v Anna Kalinskaya is for more than 2.5 sets.
