Iga Swiatek vs Anna Kalinskaya preview

Second seed and 2022 US Open champion, Iga Swiatek, will take on 29th-seeded Anna Kalinskaya in the third round of the 2025 US Open.

Swiatek has won 51 of her 63 matches this year. After not reaching a final for more than a year since last year's French Open, the Pole broke that barren run by reaching the final of the Bad Homburg Open this year, losing to Jessica Pegula.

That was the beginning of a great spell for Swiatek as she clinched her sixth Major title at Wimbledon, which included a perfect 6-0, 6-0 scoreline against Amanda Anisimova in the final. During the North American hard-court swing, she lost 6-7 (1), 3-6 against Clara Tauson in the fourth round in Montreal, but bounced back by winning the Cincinnati Open, with a 7-5, 6-4 win over Jasmine Paolini in the final.

At the US Open, Swiatek started with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Emiliana Arango in the first round. In the second round, she faced unexpected resistance from Suzan Lamens, but eventually won 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 against the Dutch player.

Anna Kalinskaya has a 21-16 win-loss record this year, with her best outing being a runner-up finish in Washington, DC, where she lost against Leylah Fernandez in the final. Earlier in the year, she had also reached the semifinal at the Singapore Open.

After her DC triumph, Kalinskaya had decent results at the hard-court WTA 1000 events in Montreal, where she lost against Elina Svitolina in the third round, and then reached the quarterfinals in Cincinnati, where she lost against Swiatek. At the US Open, she began with a 6-0, 5-7, 6-4 win over Clervie Ngounoue and then won 6-1, 7-5 against Yulia Putintseva in the second round.

Kalinskaya has a 54 percent win rate on hard courts, having reached two finals in her career so far. Aside from the Washington final, she also reached the final in Dubai last year, losing against Jasmine Paolini. She has an 8-6 win-loss record in New York, with her best result being a third-round finish last year.

When not writing about tennis and technically analyzing the sport, which he believes are his 'forte', Sagnik indulges in reading books.
