PARIS NN midfielder Nikolai Kalinsky, who is the brother of tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, told the secret of his sister’s successful performances at the start of the season.
In January, Kalinskaya reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open Grand Slam tournament, which was her best result in her career. Last week, the 25-year-old tennis player played in the final of the WTA 1000 tournament in Dubai (UAE), where she was defeated by Italian Jasmine Paolini. The Russian woman moved from 40th to 24th place in the world rankings.
— Did you expect that this year would be a breakthrough season for Anna?
— Anya is a professional, she prepared well for the season. Before this, perhaps injuries prevented him from showing such results. God grant that Anya will be in good health this year, and that she will continue to play the wonderful tennis that she is showing now.
— Do you believe that she can reach the top 10 of the WTA this year?
— Personally, I believe and am proud of Anya. The rest depends on her,” Sport24 quotes Nikolai Kalinsky.
