One of Wednesday's matches at the US Open puts together two top-50 competitors. Xin Yu Wang and Anna Kalinskaya will lock horns for the fourth time as professionals, with the pair meeting at a Grand Slam for the second time having previously clashed at the Australian Open back in 2020. Both players arrive at this second-round junction having picked up confidence-boosting wins against much lower-ranked players last time out.
Ahead of this match, the betting market suggests that it should be quite straightforward, and the odds on offer tell us that a straight-set win for the Russian is the most likely outcome. However, at odds of +150, it's worth betting that three sets are played. For starters, the pair have a hard-court history of sharing three sets, while Kalinskaya simply looks less likely to secure a straight-set win than the early odds suggest.

Our Xinyu Wang vs Anna Kalinskaya Prediction
Regardless of what happens when these two take to the court at Flushing Meadows, there appears to be a greater chance of three sets being played than the early market believes, which leaves some all-important value on the table. It's not like these two haven't shared three sets before, with each of their two previous hard-court encounters going the distance, plus Anna Kalinskaya hasn't shown the sort of form that suggests she's about to win this easily.
