Insolite - In Berlin, Kalinskaya imitates Sinner!

Anna Kalinyskaya, ranked 24th in the world, is having a great week in Berlin. After a difficult first round, she took advantage of successive retirements by Vondrousova (5-5 ab.) and Sabalenka (5-1 ab.) to reach the semi-finals.

Making the most of her opportunity, she mastered Azarenka perfectly in the semi-finals to qualify for Sunday's final (6-1, 6-7, 6-1). She will now attempt to claim the title against the winner of the match between Gauff and Pegula (postponed today due to rain).

Meanwhile, in Halle, her partner and world number 1, Jannik Sinner, has also qualified for the final, where he will face Hurkacz (not before 2pm).

When asked about this concordance of results, the 25-year-old admits that she has tried to draw inspiration from her partner's level in order to succeed: "I'm just trying to be at least a little as strong as him. I'm going to send him a message now. I'm so happy to be in the final."
