She reached the fourth round of the China Open on her debut in 2024, and lost in the second round last year.<\/p>\n<p>Zheng recently made the quarterfinals of the US Open, that too as a qualifier. Her run came to an end at the hands of eventual champion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/elena-rybakina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Elena Rybakina<\/a>. She overcame a second-set stumble to beat Shi, and improved her record for the season to 14-7 on hardcourts. She made the semifinals of the China Open in 2024, and went out in the third round in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Both of their previous matches went the distance. Kalinskaya came out on top at the Guadalajara Open 2022, and then Zheng beat her en route to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/go\/australian-open\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Australian Open<\/a> 2024 final.<\/p>\n<p>Nine of Kalinskaya&#8217;s 11 losses on hardcourts this year came against top 20 players. Even though Zheng is ranked outside the top 50 at the moment, she&#8217;s playing at a pretty decent level. Based on their history, this could be another close contest, although the support of the home crowd could propel Zheng over the finish line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick<\/strong>: Zheng Qinwen to win in three sets.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Anna Kalinskaya vs Zheng Qinwen betting tips<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tip 1<\/strong>: The match will have at least 26 games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 2<\/strong>: Zheng to win at least one set with a score of 6-3.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\" title=\"like article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\" title=\"dislike article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img style=\"background: none;\" data-lazy=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img style=\"background: none;\" data-lazy=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Rohit<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/tennis\/anna-kalinskaya-vs-zheng-qinwen-preview-head-to-head-odds-prediction-betting-tips-china-open-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Match Details Fixture: (15) Anna Kalinskaya vs. (WC) Zheng Qinwen Thanks for the submission!
