Elina Svitolina will settle for nothing less than a straight-set victory when she dukes it out with Anna Kalinskaya in the third round of the 2026 US Open.
Current Form:
Elina Svitolina survived an early-round scare from Maya Joint, 6-2, 6-7, 6-4. The Ukrainian fended off a fightback from Joint, winning 75 percent of her first serves and breaking the Aussie 8 times – two of which came in the third set. Svitolina, who reached the semis of the US Open in 2019, is 28-7 on hard courts in 2026.
Anna Kalinskaya is also coming off a three-set grinder against Xinyu Wang 7-5, 2-6, 6-3. Ranked 23rd in the world, Kalinskaya is winning 67 percent of her first serves and has saved 10 of 15 break points in two matches at the 2026 US Open.
The Matchup: Svitolina is 4-1 head-to-head against Kalinskaya, but the Russian earned her breakthrough win in the series earlier this year at the Qatar Open. Kalinskaya won that match 6-4,6-3.
