The second racket of Ukraine Elina Svitolina (No. 22 WTA) confidently started at the WTA 1000 tournament in Dubai, defeating the 4th tennis player of Russia Anna Kalinskaya (No. 18 WTA) with a score of 6: 1, 6: 2: 2. Ukrainian conducted a match under full control, allowing the 26-year-old Muscovite to take only three game for the entire meeting.

The 30-year-old Odessa citizen immediately designated her advantage, making a break twice in a row in the first set and quickly gone in a gap-5: 1. Kalinskaya failed to impose a struggle and soon lost the party.

In the second set, the situation has not changed: Elina continued to dominate the court, again took the rival three times and confidently brought the match to victory in 1 hour 7 minutes.



The Ukrainian made one Ace for the game and made three double mistakes, but in the draws she felt comfortable and did not leave Kalin's chance. This is the second victory of the Svitolina over a neutral tennis player - last year the Ukrainian was also stronger.

In the next round, Elina will meet with the winner of the couple Rebeck Shramkov - Clara Tauson. The tournament in Dubai remains one of the most successful for Svitolina: in the UAE she won 20 matches and twice became a champion of competitions - in 2017 and 2018.
