Anna Kalinskaya vs Caty McNally WTA Charleston Open Prediction: We’re Going The Distance

• Prediction: Match Total Over 2.5 Sets
• Best Odds: +140
• Bookmaker: BetMGM
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds as of 7:00 am UK Time on April 2, 2025. Odds may now differ.

Anna Kalinskaya is listed at -145 to advance to the third round of the Charleston Open, and bet365 has an even higher line at -155 for the 14-seed to defeat American Caty McNally.

Do you work hard for your money? I’ll bet you do, so putting a cent on Anna Kalinskaya to win this match with those odds won’t help you add to your current situation.

I don’t see how anyone could confidently put their hard-earned cash on Kalinskaya to win anything lately, and it won’t be me taking that shot today.

Instead, I feel as if this match has the potential to go the distance, so the +137 odds on the Over 2.5 sets will be my play for this second-round affair from South Carolina.

Their last meeting was so long ago I doubt either of them remembers it, but McNally upset Kalinskaya before we stopped playing tennis there. We all know why that’s the case, which stinks, but it is what it is.

BetMGM has Kalinskaya listed at -350 to win any set in this match, and a -225 offer on McNally to do the same. 

Amazingly, BetMGM beats Pinnacle with the best line on the Over 2.5 sets at +140. Pinnacle shows +137 for the same offer, and that isn’t usually the case because Pinnacle usually offers the best lines.

McNally cracked the top 400 WTA rankings this week and has been limited over the last two years with injuries keeping her off the court. The American should be looking forward to this match against Kalinskaya today, and the underdog will be up for a battle!.

I’ll take McNally to win this match in three sets, and how mice is that +400 offer from BetMGM on the 2 – 1 Correct Sets prop? 

That’s +125 on McNally to win, +140 for a three-set match, and +400 for McNally to win this affair 2 – 1. The Mayor of Value City has spoken!
