Kalinskaya battles into French Open quarter-finals
Russian 22nd seed Anna Kalinskaya scrapped her way to her second Grand Slam quarter-final on Monday, edging out Anastasia Potapova in a tense French Open fourth-round tie.
Kalinskaya clinched a 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (10/7) victory after two hours and 49 minutes on Court Suzanne Lenglen against 28th-seeded Austrian Potapova.
The 27-year-old Kalinskaya, whose only previous Slam quarter-final appearance came at the 2024 Australian Open, will face either Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska or Frenchwoman Diane Parry in the last eight on Wednesday.
"It was an unbelievable fight from both of us until the last second," said Kalinskaya.
Potapova fought back from 4-1 down to take control of a nervy deciding set but twice failed to serve out for the match.
The 25-year-old, who switched allegiance from Russia to Austria last December, also took a 4-1 lead in the final-set tie-break before making a string of unforced errors to give up the advantage.
