Paula Badosa defeated Anhelina Kalinina 6-3, 6-1 — Iași Open 2026 R32.
Paula Badosa and Anhelina Kalinina: Paula Badosa leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
On paper, WTA No. 141 beating the No. 4 seed reads as an upset; the market disagreed, installing Paula Badosa as a 59% favorite, and the return game settled it — 5 of 9 break points converted while Anhelina Kalinina held just two of seven service games and won 6 of 20 second-serve points. Kalinina's lone break, for 1-2 in the opener, was gone within a game — Badosa broke straight back for 3-1, then opened the second set with a break for 1-0 and added another in game 5 for 4-1. The win is just her third since mid-April — she began the season at WTA No. 25 — and puts her into the round of 16 at the Iași Open.
