On Friday, at the WTA event in Rabat, familiar foes Panna Udvardy and Anna Kalinina will meet. These two will soon be sick of the sight of each other on the court, now facing off for the third time in 2026. Back in March, the pair met in Antalya, before playing against each other in Linz a month later. On that occasion, Kalinina recorded her third career win over Udvardy, but she needed three sets to get the job done.
The early lines tell us that the Ukrainian has a huge chance of getting the job done here, but we shouldn't rush to accept this. When the pair met on clay last month, Udvardy certainly got competitive, winning the first set, while she's shifted through the gears since. All things considered, the Hungarian looks generously priced to, if nothing else, avoid a straight-set defeat.

Our Panna Udvardy vs Anhelina Kalinina Prediction
Sure, Anna Kalinina is heavily fancied by the early market, but that appears to be a bit of an overestimation. Panna Udvardy has looked just as good as her Ukrainian opponent in Rabat, while she's clearly improved since the pair last met. If we consider that the Hungarian won a set against Kalinina back in April, combined with the fact that she's since avoided a straight-set defeat in seven matches against lower-ranked players, she looks a little generously priced to, at the very least, go down without losing in straight sets.
Our Panna Udvardy vs Anna Kalinina Pick: Panna Udvardy +1.5 Set Handicap.
