Juniors

[edit]

In 2014, Kalinina partnering with Elizaveta Kulichkova won the girls' doubles tournament at the Australian Open, defeating Katie Boulter and Ivana Jorović in the final. Later that year, she reached the final of the Junior US Open, losing to Marie Bouzková in straight sets.

Professional

[edit]

2018: Major debut

[edit]

At the 2018 US Open, Kalinina had her singles main-draw debut in a Grand Slam tournament, after winning three matches in the qualifying. She defeated Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the first qualifying round, Tereza Martincová in round two, and finally Jaimee Fourlis, also in straight sets, and went on to win a Grand Slam match by beating Kathinka von Deichmann, in three sets, but then lost to Sloane Stephens.

2021: WTA Tour final, top 100

[edit]

At the French Open, she reached the second round as a qualifier, defeating 26th seed and three-time major champion Angelique Kerber.[citation needed]

Although Kalinina fell in the last round of the Wimbledon qualifying, she won the $60k Montpellier and $100k Contrexéville trophies over the next two weeks to take her 2021 ITF title haul to four.[citation needed] She reached the final of the Budapest Grand Prix, losing to top seed Yulia Putintseva.[1][2] With a record for the 2021 season of 32–7, she moved 30 ranking spots from world No. 125 to No. 95.[3]

2022: WTA 1000 quarterfinal and top 35, Ukrainian No. 1

[edit]

She made her debut in the top 50 at world No. 49 on 17 January 2022. After reaching the round of 16 at the Miami Open, before retiring hurt to 16th seed Jessica Pegula, Kalinina reached a new career-high ranking of world No. 42, and later in June, she became No. 34 and the number-one Ukrainian tennis player ahead of Elina Svitolina.[citation needed]

At the Eastbourne International, she defeated world No. 5 and third seed, Maria Sakkari, in the second round.[4][5]

2023: Australian Open 3rd round, WTA 1000 final, top 25

[edit]

Kalinina started her season at the Adelaide International 1. Getting past qualifying, she lost in the first round to Victoria Azarenka.[6] Seeded fifth at the Hobart International, she reached the quarterfinals where she was defeated by 2019 champion Sofia Kenin.[7] At the Australian Open, she upset 15th seed, two-time Grand Slam champion, and 2019 finalist, Petra Kvitová, in the second round.[8] She lost in the third round to 20th seed, 2021 French Open champion, and last year quarterfinalist, Barbora Krejčíková.[9]

Seeded fourth at the Upper Austria Ladies Linz, Kalinina lost in the second round to qualifier Anna-Lena Friedsam.[10] In Doha, she fell in the first round of qualifying to Lauren Davis.

At the Dubai Championships, she defeated tenth seed and top-20 player Veronika Kudermetova in the first round for her second top-20 win of the season, after her second-round win at the Australian Open against 15th seed Petra Kvitová, and sixth in total.[11] Following a round of 16 showing, with a win over qualifier and compatriot Dayana Yastremska, she reached the top 30 at world No. 29, on 27 February 2023.

Ranked No. 47 at the Italian Open, she had reached the semifinals of a WTA 1000 for the first time in her career, after defeating former world No. 4, Sofia Kenin, 19th seed Madison Keys, and 12th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia in the longest match of the season, lasting 3 hours and 41 minutes.[12][13] She reached her maiden WTA 1000 final and only second of her career, in another long match lasting almost three hours, toppling again Veronika Kudermetova.[14] She became the lowest-ranked woman to reach the final in Rome since Raffaella Reggi in 1985 and the second Ukrainian on this stage at a WTA 1000 since former world No. 3, Elina Svitolina.[15] As a result, she peaked at No. 25 in the singles rankings.[16]

2024: Two semifinals and Miami Open 4th round

[edit]

At the Miami Open, she reached the fourth round of a WTA 1000 event for a fourth time, defeating world No. 2, Aryna Sabalenka, for only the second top-5 win of her career.[17][18]

Kalinina made the last four at the Rouen Open with a quarterfinal win over fifth seed Mirra Andreeva[19] before losing in a deciding set to Magda Linette.[20] She also reached the semifinals at the Strasbourg Open defeating top seed Markéta Vondroušová in three sets in the quarterfinals[21] but missing out on a place in the final at the hands of Danielle Collins.[22] At the Prague Open, she made it through to the quarterfinals with a round-of-16 win against Elsa Jacquemot[23] before losing to Magdalena Fręch.[24]

Kalinina qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics but withdrew from the competition on 28 July after catching a cold.[25] At the US Open, she defeated Océane Dodin to reach the second round,[26] where she lost to 27th seed Elina Svitolina.[27]
