Russian tennis star Anna Kalinskaya made her Nike debut at the China Open, sporting a vibrant purple outfit as she battled through her opening match against American Hailey Baptiste. In her first appearance in Nike gear, Kalinskaya bounced back from a set down to win two tiebreakers in an impressive display.

Kalinskaya’s ensemble featured a striking short-sleeved top with contrast mesh panels at the collarbone for breathability, paired with loose-fitting shorts with side slits and a pleated back for both comfort and style. Completing her look, she wore Nike Vapor Pro 2 shoes with Air Zoom cushioning for enhanced agility.

On her new partnership with Nike, Kalinskaya expressed, “It’s an exciting change, and I’m thrilled to bring my game to the next level with this team.”

With her powerful Wilson Ultra 100 v4 racquet in hand, Kalinskaya looks poised for more success in her new Nike collaboration, combining high performance with sleek, cutting-edge style on the court.
