On 22 May 2023, she reached her career-high singles ranking of world No. 25. On 3 April 2023, she peaked at No. 120 in the WTA doubles rankings. In June 2022, Kalinina became the No. 1 Ukrainian tennis player.

Juniors

In 2014, Kalinina partnering with Elizaveta Kulichkova won the girls' doubles tournament at the Australian Open, defeating Katie Boulter and Ivana Jorović in the final. Later that year, she reached the final of the Junior US Open, losing to Marie Bouzková in straight sets.

Professional career

2018: Major debut

At the 2018 US Open, Kalinina had her main-draw debut in a Grand Slam singles tournament, after winning three matches in the qualifying. She defeated Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the first qualifying round, Tereza Martincová in round two, and finally Jaimee Fourlis, also in straight sets, and went on to win a Grand Slam match by beating Kathinka von Deichmann, in three sets, but then lost to Sloane Stephens.

2021: First WTA Tour final, top 100

At the French Open, she reached the second round as a qualifier, defeating 26th seed and three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber.

Although Kalinina fell in the last round of the Wimbledon qualifying, she won the $60k Montpellier and $100k Contrexéville trophies over the next two weeks to take her 2021 ITF title haul to four. With a record for the 2021 season of 32–7, she moved 30 ranking spots from world No. 125 to No. 95.

2022: WTA 1000 quarters and top 35, Ukrainian No. 1

She made her debut in the top 50 at world No. 49 on 17 January 2022.

After reaching the round of 16 at the Miami Open, before retiring hurt to 16th seed Jessica Pegula, Kalinina reached a new career-high ranking of world No. 42, and later in June, she reached No. 34 becoming the number-one Ukrainian tennis player ahead of Elina Svitolina.

At the Eastbourne International, she defeated world No. 5 and third seed, Maria Sakkari, in the second round.

2023: Australian Open 3rd round, WTA 1000 final, top 25

Kalinina started her season at the Adelaide International 1. Getting past qualifying, she lost in the first round to Victoria Azarenka. Seeded fifth at the Hobart International, she reached the quarterfinals where she was defeated by 2019 champion Sofia Kenin. At the Australian Open, she upset 15th seed, two-time Grand Slam champion, and 2019 finalist, Petra Kvitová, in the second round. She lost in the third round to 20th seed, 2021 French Open champion, and last year quarterfinalist, Barbora Krejčíková.

Seeded fourth at the Upper Austria Ladies Linz, Kalinina lost in the second round to qualifier Anna-Lena Friedsam. In Doha, she fell in the first round of qualifying to Lauren Davis.

At the Dubai Championships, she defeated tenth seed and top-20 player Veronika Kudermetova in the first round for her second top-20 win of the season, after her second-round win at the Australian Open against 15th seed Petra Kvitová, and sixth in total. Following a round of 16 showing, with a win over qualifier and compatriot Dayana Yastremska, she reached the top 30 at world No. 29, on 27 February 2023.

Ranked No. 47 at the Italian Open, she had reached the semifinals of a WTA 1000 for the first time in her career, after defeating former world No. 4, Sofia Kenin, 19th seed Madison Keys, and 12th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia in the longest match of the season lasting 3 hours and 41 minutes. She reached her maiden WTA 1000 final and only second of her career, in another long match lasting almost three hours, toppling again Veronika Kudermetova. She became the lowest-ranked woman to reach the final in Rome since Raffaella Reggi in 1985 and the second Ukrainian on this stage at a WTA 1000 since former world No. 3, Elina Svitolina. As a result, she peaked at No. 25 in the singles rankings.

2024: Miami Open fourth round

At the Miami Open, she reached the fourth round of a WTA 1000 for a fourth time, defeating world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka for only the second top-5 win of her career.
