Anna Kalinskaya has emerged as an intriguing underdog spread pick at +4.5 games (+125) against an in-form Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Cincinnati Open.
Kalinskaya is shooting for another semifinal spot in Cincinnati, weeks after reaching the final of the 2025 Mubadala Citi Washington Open. However, he will have to bring her A-game as she takes on the former world’s No.1, Swiatek. Kalinskaya made it to the quarterfinals by surviving Peyton Stearns in the first round 7-6(4) 4-6 6-1, sweeping Amanda Anisimova 7-5 6-4 and edging Ekaterina Alexandrova 3-6 7-6(5) 6-1.
only needed two wins to reach the quarterfinals of the 2025 Cincinnati Open. She blasted Anastasia Potapova 6-1 6-4, earned a walkover win over Marta Kostyuk, and pummeled Sorona Cirstea 6-4 6-3. Swiatek, the reigning Wimbledon Open champion, is eyeing a better finish in Cincy after she got upset by Clara Tauson in the fourth round of the 2025 Canadian Open.

Our Iga Swiatek vs Anna Kalinskaya Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Anna Kalinskaya covers +4.5 Game spread against Iga Swiatek.
Swiatek might be coming off a smashing win over Sorona Cirstea 6-4 6-3, but I expect her to face a heavier resistance from Kalinskaya, who has won 9 of her last 11 hard-court matches. Kalinskaya has beaten some formidable opponents during this hot stretch, so it’s safe to assume she won’t be a light opponent even for an elite-level player like Swiatek.
Expect Kalinskaya to come out aggressively in the early games, hoping to get Swiatek off guard with fast, swarming attacks. Although Swiatek might still be strong in the end, Kalinskaya will present her the toughest challenge she has ever faced in this tournament. After all, Kalinskaya is 1-0 head-to-head against Iga Swiatek, having beaten the Pole 6-4 6-4 in the semifinal of the 2024 Dubai Tennis Championship.
Our betting prediction for Iga Swiatek vs. Anna Kalinskaya: Anna Kalinskaya +4.5 Games.
