Anhelina Kalinina will square off against Cristina Bucsa in the semifinal of the Open De Limoges in France.

Despite a valiant effort against Victoria Mboko, the Canadian outfoxed her in a gripping three-set encounter in the final.

Bucsa started her campaign in Limoges by breezing past Teodora Kostovic and Tiphanie Fiquet in the initial few rounds. She then outsmarted Antonia Ruzic in the quarterfinals, 6-1, 6-0. The Spaniard won 86% of her first serve points and saved six break points in the last round.

Anhelina Kalinina vs Cristina Bucsa prediction

Kalinina made a good start to the season in 2025, but couldn't build momentum due to a shoulder concern. Her semifinal runs in Strasbourg and Rouen highlight her potential to excel on tour. The 28-year-old has been resilient in Limoges so far.

Bucsa, on the contrary, is a former champion at this event. She clinched the title in 2023, but has since been trophyless on tour. The Spaniard has defeated top-quality players such as Belinda Bencic, Maya Joint, and Alexandra Eala in the last few months and will be difficult to beat in the next round.

Kalinina has scraped past her matches but will face a serious contender in the next round. Considering their match fitness and results in the last few months, Bucsa should be able to execute her high-intensity game and come out on top.

Pick: Bucsa to win in three sets.
