French Open: Chwalinska dominates Kalinskaya

Polish player Chwalinska has established a commanding 5-1 lead over Kalinskaya in their French Open 2026 quarter-final. The 5ft 5in left-hander is using intelligence and variety, including frequent drop-shots and slices, to befuddle her taller opponent who appears rhythm-less.

Chwalinska broke Kalinskaya's serve to take a 3-1 lead, and has maintained control since then. The Russian struggled to adapt to Chwalinska's unconventional tactics, with her attempts at similar drop-shot proving ineffective. newsbetting.bond
