The 2022 Silicon Valley Classic's opening match will be between Anhelina Kalinina and sixth seed Coco Gauff on Tuesday.
Gauff participated in a few events in Adelaide to kick off the year. She advanced to the semifinals of one tournament but fell to Ashleigh Barty in the second round of the other. In the opening round of the Australian Open, Wang Qiang awed her. Coco Gauff later advanced to the WTA 1000 singles quarterfinals in Qatar while also winning the doubles match with Jessica Pegula. She advanced to the third and fourth rounds of the Indian Wells Open and the Miami Open, respectively. The French Open, when the youngster made her first Grand Slam singles final, was her biggest professional triumph. Gauff was defeated in straight sets by world No. 1 Iga Swiatek. She also advanced to the doubles final, but once again came in second. She began her grass-swing by reaching Berlin’s semifinals. She was defeated by Amanda Anisimova at Wimbledon in the third round.
Anhelina Kalinina achieved a career-high ranking of World No. 34 this year as a result of a streak of strong performances. Prior to the Miami Open, where she advanced to the fourth round, she had a sluggish start to the year, frequently retiring early. The Ukrainian began her clay-court season by making it as far as the Charleston Open quarterfinals. At the Madrid Open, Kalinina then advanced to a WTA 1000 tournament’s quarterfinals for the first time. Before falling to Jil Teichmann, she defeated three Grand Slam champions: Sloane Stephens, Garbine Muguruza, and Emma Raducanu. She suffered a round two defeat at the French Open. The Eastbourne International quarterfinal appearance was Kalinina’s best performance on grass during the year, while Wimbledon loss came in the second round.
Coco Guaff and Anhelina Kalinina will face each other in the first round of the 2022 WTA Silicon Valley Classic on Tuesday, August 2. The WTA 500 competition is scheduled to start from August 1 and end on August 7 this year.
