Victoria Mboko vs Anna Kalinskaya preview

Victoria Mboko will face Anna Kalinskaya in the quarterfinals of the Hong Kong Open.

Mboko caught the shutterbugs' attention by winning her maiden title in Montreal. She also reached the third round in Paris and the last 16 in Washington. The Canadian was ranked outside the top 300 last year, but is currently among the top 20 players in the world.

Mboko entered Hong Kong after a quarterfinal appearance in Tokyo. She started her campaign with a solid win against Talia Gibson and then scraped past Alexandra Eala in the second round. The 19-year-old defeated Eala in a gripping encounter, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Kalinskaya also entered Hong Kong after a quarterfinal exit in Tokyo. She started her campaign by cruising past Kamilla Rakhimova and Zhang Shuai in the first two rounds. The 26-year-old defeated Shuai in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1.

Mboko revived her form in the last few weeks after a string of losses in New York, Beijing, Wuhan, and Ningbo. The Canadian will be brimming with confidence after a resilient win against Eala in the last round.

Kalinskaya, meanwhile, has chipped in with consistent results throughout the season. The Russian needs to enter high-intensity matches with better precision and give herself a chance to win a title.

Despite Mboko's twinking toes and powerful groundstrokes, Kalinskaya will be a slight favorite to win this round. She should be able to use her experience and execute her steady all-around game to enter the last four.

Pick: Kalinskaya to win in three sets.
