Peyton Stearns of the United States will try to maintain her hot form as she clashes with Anna Kalinskaya of Russia in the second round of the 2025 Italian Open.
Stearns is coming off a morale-boosting run in Madrid, where she reached the fourth round before succumbing to world’s No.1 Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 4-6. The American also picked her first win in Rome on Tuesday, beating wild card entry Nuria Brancaccio of Italy 6-3 6-2.
At the Madrid Open, Kalinskaya came up short in equaling her quarterfinal finish in Charleston as she lost to Madison Keys 7-5 7-6(3) in their second match in three weeks. The Russian is 7-9 in the WTA 2025 season and badly needs a deep run in one of these big tournaments to ignite a mediocre campaign on the tour so far.

Our Peyton Stearns vs Anna Kalinskaya Prediction
I feel like Peyton Stearns is in tip-top shape to make a statement win against Anna Kalinskaya on Thursday. Stearns lost to Kalinskaya 3-6 6-3 3-1 ret. in their first encounter in the third round of the 2024 China Open, but the American is in a much better form right now, having won four of her last five matches on clay. Kalinskaya remains a dangerous foe with a 58.6 per cent win rate on clay, yet her struggle to keep her play high throughout the year worries me a lot. Meanwhile, I see Stearns peaking at the right time and might have a chance to stage another surprise run since she’s bracketed in a weaker section of the brackets. Our betting prediction for Peyton Stearns vs. Anna Kalinskaya: Peyton Stearns will win.
