Preview

Anna Kalinskaya overcame Ekaterina Alexandrova 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-1 to reach just her third WTA-1000 quarter-finals. Despite a slow start, the #28 seed fought back strongly, winning the last two sets including a nail-biting second set tiebreaker.

The Russian has had a tough season, coming back from injuries which forced her to miss several weeks of tennis action leading to dip in rankings. Her impressive victory over Amanda Anisimova showcased her brilliance, and she will now take on Swiatek, against whom the Russian holds a favourable h2h record.

Kalinskaya previously defeated the Pole 6-4, 6-4 in Dubai 2024, which was also their only meeting thus far. Cincinnati is one of only three WTA 1000 events where Swiatek has yet to reach the final, having fallen in the semi-finals in each of the past two years.

Match prediction

Anna Kalinskaya might have the psychological advantage ahead of this clash, but Swiatek looks far more threatening as compared to her Russian counterpart. The Pole has a remarkable defensive game, and is regarded as one of the best movers on tour.

With her ever-improving serving game, the third seed should navigate her way successfully to a third straight Cincinnati semi-final.

Result: Iga Swiatek to win in straight sets.
