At the WTA 500 tournament in Adelaide (Australia), Kalinskaya was eliminated in the round of 2 against the former Swiss Olympic champion Belinda Bencic. With the score at 6:0 and 1:XNUMX, Kalinskaya gave up against the young mother due to physical problems. It is not known whether the Russian was seriously injured or whether her withdrawal was just a safety measure.

For Kalinskaya, it is now a matter of recovering as quickly as possible for the Australian Open, which begins on Sunday. Last year, the 26-year-old reached the quarter-finals there. Her boyfriend Jannik Sinner, on the other hand, won a charity match on Tuesday started the new year successfully in Melbourne.
