 Annalena Kalanina versus Beatrice Hadajmaier is the second quarterfinal for the ladies Rome Open for 2023 and both ladies have been very impressive to get to the quarterfinal. Kalanina started the tournament off as the 30th seed and we're going to buy in the first round. In the second round she'll take on Blinkova. There's no problem for Kalanina getting through in straight sets 6-2, 6-2. In the third round she'll take on Sofia Kenan who had just demolished the number two seed Sabalinka in the previous round. There's no problem for Kalanina getting through in straight sets 6-4, 6-2. In the fourth round she'll take on Madison Keys who had been given a walk over victory against Azarenka in the previous round. And after dropping the first set Kalanina would fight back getting through in 3-2, 6-2, 6-4 to advance to the quarterfinal. Hadajmaier entered the tournament as the number 12 seed will get a buy in the first round. In the second round she'll take on the qualifier Rusei. There's no problem for Hadajmaier getting through in straights 6-2, 6-3. In the third round she'll take on the number 17 seed Lynette and after a close first set she'll get through in straights 7-5, 6-4. In the fourth round she'll take on another qualifier Osorio who had just taken out Martij and Garcia in the previous round. And again Hadajmaier easily getting through 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinal. These two players have actually played three times before with Kalanina leading the head to head 3-0 with their last match being a three setter in Miami. Kalanina fighting back from a set down. Kalanina's going to win this one. She needs to be aggressive and try and push Hadajmaier around. Hadajmaier is a very good player who stands in the middle of the baseline. She's got to make her run around and get her off, try and get her off balance so she can't hit those big grounds throw. Hadajmaier is going to win this one. She needs to use the lefty serve and bring some variety. She actually won the Madrid doubles last week so maybe even bring in some volleys, come to the net and use that experience that she gained from winning the Madrid doubles last week. This is a very random matchup because of course we didn't expect these two players to be here with Sabalenka being around, Azarenka, Garcia, and this is the quarterfinal that we get. But I'm going to go with Hadajmaier. She hasn't dropped a set all week and I feel like she just is due for a big semi-final at one of these tournaments. She did of course make the final of Toronto last year but I feel like she's due for a one on clay and that lefty serve might be the difference. Finally get a win over Kalanina but let me know down the course below. Who do you think is going to win this one?
