When people talk about rising stars in women’s tennis, names like Coco Gauff and Iga Świątek often dominate the headlines. But quietly (and sometimes loudly), Anna Kalinskaya has been carving out her own space, and it’s becoming harder to ignore.
The Russian talent has battled through injuries, tough draws, and even tougher critics, but 2025 feels different. Her win over Amanda Anisimova in Cincinnati didn’t just boost her confidence—it reminded the tennis world that she has the tools to upset anyone on a good day. Add in her long-awaited victory over Ekaterina Alexandrova, and suddenly Kalinskaya isn’t the underdog anymore—she’s a genuine threat.
But here’s the twist: Anna’s greatest weapon isn’t her forehand, her backhand, or even her serve. It’s her mentality. After confirming her split from Jannik Sinner earlier this year, she’s been channeling that emotional rollercoaster into her game. Fans swear they’ve noticed a sharper, more fearless version of Kalinskaya on the court—like she’s got nothing to lose and everything to prove.
Off the court, she’s not afraid to stir the pot either. Her candid revelation about Holger Rune’s direct messages went viral, sparking debates across tennis Twitter. Love her or hate her, Anna knows how to keep her name buzzing in headlines.
So, is Anna Kalinskaya about to shock the tennis world with her first major semifinal—or even a title run? One thing’s for sure: underestimate her at your own risk.
