Anna Kalinskaya exploded on her social media regarding the WTA Cincinnati schedules and criticized the tournament and the women's circuit in a very forceful way. "How does the WTA and the tournament expect their players to perform well with such unfair schedules? After my match against Alexandrova, I went home at 2:40 in the morning and didn't go to bed until 4:00. I slept a little and today I came to practice. Then they scheduled my match for tomorrow (against Iga Swiatek) at 11:00 in the morning. How does the WTA and the tournament expect me to recover and continue adjusting my sleep patterns, when it is one of the most important aspects of recovery? It seems a bit biased," stated the Russian player.
Schedule is not out for tomorrow yet but it would appear that Kalinskaya-Swiatek will be getting an 11am start:
