Anhelina Kalinina is a Ukrainian right-hander who has built a career as a gritty, physical baseliner, working her way into the world's top forty through consistent results at tour level. Like many of her Ukrainian compatriots, she has continued to compete on tour through the difficult backdrop of the war in her home country, often speaking about its impact on players from the region. Her game is built on retrieving ability and patience from the back of the court rather than outright power.
