Current Form:

Kalinskaya punched her ticket to the round of 16 with a gutsy three-set win over former top-10 Emma Navarro 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 on Tuesday. The 28th-ranked Kalinskaya averted a meltdown by holding all her serves and breaking Navarro twice in the third set. The Russian has won six of her first nine matches on the season, converting 59 percent of the 72 breakpoints she created this year.

Svitolina is now 11-1 on the season following another dominant win over Dayana Yastremska 6-1, 6-4. Svitolina, a semifinalist at the 2026 Australian Open, is having a resurgence early this season, and it all starts with her ability to break serves at a high rate. In 12 matches this year, Svitolina has converted 55 of 94 breakpoints or a 58.6 percent breakpoint conversion rate. Svitolina is also 4-1 in tiebreaks in 2026.
