Anna Kalinskaya Player Overview
Kalinskaya reached the final in Washington, where she fell to Leylah Fernandez. The Russian player has demonstrated that she's in excellent form and capable of achieving significant results on hard courts. Notably, Kalinskaya had almost no rest, starting from the first round in Montreal just two days after her loss in Washington. The schedule in Canada is very tight, requiring a lot of time for recovery, leaving little energy for extra practice or opponent analysis. Yet, Kalinskaya continues to deliver top-level performances, having already defeated Li and Mertens. Each match went to three sets. The main question is: does Anna have enough stamina left?

Elina Svitolina Player Overview
Svitolina, leveraging her ranking, entered the Montreal tournament in the second round and confidently defeated Rakhimova there. Yes, she needed a bit of time in the first set to adjust to the court, but then she started playing with great assurance. In the second set, Rakhimova had virtually no chance to challenge for victory. Indeed, the Ukrainian tennis player's skill level is very high, combining experience and the ability to play on any surface. However, when it comes to the upcoming match, Svitolina's biggest advantage is her freshness. She hasn't played as many matches and isn't as fatigued as her opponent.

Editorial Prediction
We might witness a battle, but it will be a tough challenge for Kalinskaya to overcome. In the first set, there is hope for some spirited play from the Russian, but maintaining that level without much rest will be difficult as the match progresses. Playing at such a high level frequently is incredibly demanding. However, we expect a competitive first set, leveraging Kalinskaya's initial burst of energy. Our bet is on the first set total over 9.5.
