On Friday afternoon, at the National Bank Open presented by Rogers, which takes place in Montreal, Canada, former champion Elina Svitolina, who won this prize back in 2017, will be looking to continue pushing forward by beating Anna Kalinskaya, who booked her place in this round thanks to a hard-fought win over Elise Mertens, coming out on top after three sets.
That was a pleasing victory make no mistake about it, as was her three-set win over Ann Li in the first round.
However, those two matches will have taken plenty out of the Russian, who won't be as fresh as her opponent. Svitolina knows how to beat Kalinskaya too, doing so on a hard-court earlier this year in Dubai, while the Ukrainian likes playing on US hard courts, as her recent record suggests.

Our Anna Kalinskaya vs Elina Svitolina Prediction
This looks like something of a big opportunity for Elina Svitolina to build momentum at a tournament that she clearly likes, lifting the trophy in Montreal back in 2017.
She looked in confident mood when beating Rakhimova in straight sets during the previous round, so don't be surprised if she steps on the gas and makes light work of beating a player who she defeated 6-1, 6-2 earlier this year. I'm betting on a repeat of that.
