Martina Trevisan and Anna Kalinskaya will face each other in the Opening round of the 2022 Cincinnati Open on Tuesday, August 16.
Martina Trevisan has made a name for herself on dirt, but she struggles on hard surfaces. She has only won one main draw match on the surface this year and is 4-5 overall this season on hard court, including qualifiers. Last week, the World No. 26 was defeated in a three-set first round match by Beatriz Haddad Maia. It was only her second appearance in the main draw on hard court this year. She qualified for the Australian Open and beat Nao Hibino in the first round before losing to Paula Badosa in round two. This year, the Italian won her first WTA title in Rabat after reaching her first Grand Slam semifinal in Roland Garros.
Anna Kalinskaya, world No. 69, will compete in the main draw in Cincinnati for the second time after easily defeating her two qualifying round opponents. The 23-year-old defeated Wimbledon semifinalist Tatjana Maria 6-0, 6-1 in the first qualifying round on Saturday, and compatriot Anastasia Potapova 7-5, 6-1 in the second qualifying round on Sunday. This year, Kalinskaya’s form has been particularly strong on hard courts, where she is 16-6 across all levels. The Russian reached the quarterfinals in Washington this month after reaching the semifinals in Guadalajara. She also advanced to the third round in Indian Wells and Miami and will be hoping to get off to a good start in Cincinnati.
Martina Trevisan and Anna Kalinskaya are scheduled to face one another in the Opening round of the 2022 Cincinnati Open on Tuesday, August 16. The tournament is scheduled to run from August 14 till August 21.
The 2022 Cincinnati Open will see six rounds of action excluding the qualifiers. These include the round of 64, round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final for both men’s and women’s. The tournament is scheduled to commence on August 14 and conclude on August 21 this year.
