Born to two experienced badminton players, Anna Kalinskaya began her tennis <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/young-tennis-players-emerging-new-wave" target="_blank" rel="noopener">career</a> early in life. At the peak of her junior career, Kalinskaya was ranked number three, with sixteen total title wins, in both singles and doubles. For Kalinskaya tennis has always been a propelling force, as seen in both her junior and professional career, where she has become a powerful presence on the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/tennis-dresses-to-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">court</a>. Kalinskaya is currently ranked number 25 in the WTA lineup, making her among the top tennis players in the world.&nbsp;
Kalinskaya put on a particularly formidable appearance at the 2024 Dubai Open, where she defeated three top ten players in a row, including <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/facts-to-know-coco-gauff-tennis-star-french-open-rihanna" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coco Gauff</a>, Jelena Ostapenko, and Iga Swiatek, who is currently ranked number one in the world.
