In January 2015 she began playing on the ITF Women's Circuit. After her first two $25k tournaments in the United States, she progressed to tournaments in Turkey. She first played at the $10k Antalya tournament, where she recorded her first win as a senior, defeating Turkish player Cempre Anil. She continued in the same city the following week, reaching her first final, but losing to Chinese player Lu Jiajing. That year she made her debut in the WTA rankings as world No. 1201.[13]
After two $25k tournaments in Moscow, Kalinskaya attempted another WTA Tour debut at the Kremlin Cup, where she received a qualifying wildcard. She lost in the final stage to eventual semifinalist Daria Kasatkina of Russia. By the end of the year, she played two $10k tournaments in Port El Kantaoui, Tunisia.

Doubles
Her professional doubles career started well, winning the $25k Sunrise, Florida tournament. This result put her on the WTA rankings in doubles, making the top 700.[13] She played four more ITF tournaments without much success.[14][note 1]
2016: Success on the ITF Women's Circuit
Singles
In early February 2016, Kalinskaya had another chance to debut at the WTA Tour. As a wildcard player, she played in the qualifying of the Premier-level St. Petersburg Ladies Trophy, but lost to Kateřina Siniaková. After that, she progressed in several ITF tournaments.

Her third ITF title of the year came in July at a $25k event in Aschaffenburg in Bavaria, Germany where she bested Dalila Jakupović in a three-set match. In August, Kalinskaya won her fourth title of the year at the $25k Kharkiv tournament. All these results helped her enter the top 200 in September. At the Kremlin Cup, she made her WTA Tour debut, after receiving a wildcard for the third year in a row, but this time in the main draw. She lost in the first round to French player Kristina Mladenovic. She finished the year with the $25k Minsk final, but let her opponent win without playing.[14][note 1] As a result, she started a new phase in her career, gradually transitioning to the main tour.[15] Since her top 200 debut in September 2016, she spent the rest of the year there.
Doubles
Kalinskaya started her doubles season in Bahrain by winning the title at the $10k Manama tournament in April. A month later, she won the $100k Trnava tournament in Slovakia, her first significant ITF title in both events.

However, she struggled again after reaching second round of the $100k Neva Cup in St. Petersburg, losing in the qualifying round of the Tashkent Open and the first round of the $25k Óbidos event in Portugal. Despite early loss in Óbidos, Kalinskaya remained and won again the following week, defeating Magdalena Fręch in the final. The third was promising as well, but she lost to British player Katie Swan. Without any oscillations in her WTA ranking, Kalinskaya spent the year inside the top 200. On September 9, she reached her then-career high of No. 14.[14][note 1]
Doubles
Her doubles performances during the year were primarily on the ITF Circuit. In the first two months she reached two semifinals, first at the $60k Open Andrézieux-Bouthéon in France in January, and then at the $25k AK Ladies Open in Germany in February. In the meantime, she played in the quarterfinals of the St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy, and made her debut at the Fed Cup in doubles. In July, she advanced to her first WTA Tour semifinal, after winning two matches alongside Russian player Evgeniya Rodina. Two weeks later, she won the $25k+H Bad Saulgau tournament in Germany with Turkish player İpek Soylu. On 16 October 2017, she achieved a new career high, ranking No. 114 in the world.[14][note 1]
Given her ranking, Kalinskaya often switched between the ITF and the WTA Tours during the year. She began in Australia, where her first tournament was the $25k Playford International, but she lost in the first round to French player Jessika Ponchet. Then she shifted to Melbourne to play at the Australian Open qualifying. She reached the main draw for the first time in her career.[21] Her first opponent in the main draw was Italian player Camila Giorgi, but Kalinskaya lost in two sets.[22] During February, she failed to qualify in two WTA tournaments, the (St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy, and the Hungarian Ladies Open). However, she made her singles debut in the Fed Cup. In Bratislava, she lost in three sets to Slovak player Magdaléna Rybáriková. For Kalinskaya, March brought good performances on the ITF Circuit. In China she first played at the $60k Zhuhai tournament, and reached the semifinals. She followed this with a final appearance at the $60k Shenzhen Open. Her last tournament in March was in France at the $60k Croissy-Beaubourg event, where she reached the semifinals.[14][note 1]
During the next five months, still in France, she reached the semifinals of the $100k Contrexéville Open in the middle of July. Then she failed to qualify in both the French Open, and the Wimbledon.[14][note 1]
She made the main draw of the US Open for the first time in her career.[23] In the first round, she was defeated by the world's No. 9, German player Julia Görges, in three sets.[24] She continued to struggle with losses to Serbian Olga Danilović in the first round of the Tashkent Open, and to Russian Natalia Vikhlyantseva at the Linz Open qualifying round. Next, she made another appearance at the Kremlin Cup as a wildcard, but was ousted by Mladenovic in a repeat of their 2016 encounter.[25] Despite not reaching any new career-highest singles rankings, she spent all year in the top 200.
Doubles
She also switched between ITF Circuit and the WTA Tour in doubles. After a few early losses during the first two months, she won the title at the $60k Shenzhen Open alongside Slovak player Viktória Kužmová. Two weeks later she won another $60k title, this time in Croissy-Beaubourg, again with Kužmová. A month later she reached the semifinals of the Istanbul Cup, where she played with compatriot Natela Dzalamidze. At the French Open, she notched her Grand Slam debut in doubles, but lost in the first round with fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova. Wimbledon was a disappointment after losing in the second qualifying round. She finished the year by making the semifinals of the Kremlin Cup.[14][note 1] On 28 May 2018, she reached a new career-high of 106.[13]
2019: WTA Tour semifinal, first top-10 win, top 100 debut
Kalinskaya started the year with a triumph at the $25k Playford International, defeating Elena Rybakina in the final.[26] Her victories continued with three more, first qualifying for the Australian Open. As a result, she advanced to the main draw, but was defeated by the world's No. 11, Aryna Sabalenka, in the first round.[27] She struggled to reach the WTA Tour main draw at many tournaments, including the Premier-level St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy, Qatar Ladies Open and Stuttgart Open. In the middle of May, she won the $60k Open Saint-Gaudens, defeating Romanian Ana Bogdan in the final.[28] While still in France, Kalinskaya tried enter the main draw of the French Open, the only major where she still had not succeeded. However, for the third year in a row she failed to qualify.[14][note 1]
As a warm-up for the grass-court season, Kalinskya played in England at the $100k Surbiton Trophy. After defeating Serbian Ivana Jorović in the first round, she lost to Rybáriková in a three-set match. Right after that she traveled to the Netherlands to play at the Rosmalen Open. Despite losing in the first round, this was nevertheless her first tour main-draw performance of the year.[14][note 1] Preparing for Wimbledon, she played at the Birmingham Classic, but was stopped in the final qualifying stage. She hired the Argentinian Patricia Tarabini to be her coach.[29] Still looking for her first Grand Slam win, she held out some hope for Wimbledon, given that she had qualified after three straight-sets wins. She failed to achieve it, however, after losing to Magda Linette in the first round.[30]
In August, Kalinskaya showed an impressive North American hardcourt swing, reaching the semifinals of a WTA Tour event for the first time in her career at the Washington Open. She survived the qualifying rounds, before making a huge comeback against reigning Puerto Rican Olympic champion Monica Puig, and stunning Mladenovic for her first win over the Frenchwoman in three attempts.[31] Her run was stopped by eventual champion Jessica Pegula in the semifinals.[32] At the US Open, Kalinskaya qualified again. In the first round, she stunned the world's No. 10, Sloane Stephens, in her Arthur Ashe Stadium debut, winning in straight sets.[33] However, she was unable to repeat her win, as she was defeated by American wildcard Kristie Ahn in her next match.[34]

Partnering Yulia Putintseva, she lost to top seeds Tímea Babos and Mladenovic.[14][note 1] It was the first time that Kalinskaya reached a third round in either of two events. Just as in singles, this was the first season that she made it inside the top 100 in doubles, reaching No. 72 in late September.[13]
2020: Pandemic-affected season
Because of the lack of tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kalinskaya did not play as often. Her season began with the Australian Open, where she qualified for the main draw after saving match points to beat China's Wang Xinyu in the final qualifying round. In the first round of the main draw, she faced unseeded Chinese player Zheng Saisai, but she did not prevail.[37] Before the pandemic forced the cancellation of the tennis season in March, Kalinskaya lost in the first round of the Mexican Open, followed by another first-round loss, this time at the WTA ChallengerIndian Wells.
When she resumed the tour in August, she qualified for the main draw of the Lexington Challenger after defeating two American players. Then in the main draw she lost to Swiss player Jil Teichmann.

Despite the losses, she completed at least one main-draw performance at all four Grand Slams. Kalinskaya sank to No. 117 in August,[13] her lowest of the season.
She struggled in her first three tournaments. Her season began with the Premier Gippsland Trophy as part of the Australian Open warm-up, but she was eliminated in the first round by Katie Boulter. Due to her low ranking, she was forced to play to qualify in the Australian Open. She started well, winning her first match, but was unable to qualify for the main draw when she lost to France's Clara Burel in three sets. The Abierto Zapopan in Guadalajara was her third tournament, and she lost to Canadian Leylah Fernandez.[14][note 1]
Following these weak performances, she began a resurgence at the Monterrey Open, reaching the quarterfinals as a qualifier after beating second seed Nadia Podoroska of Argentina in the first round.[38] Her run continued the following week as a wildcard at the Miami Open, where she reached the third round of a WTA 1000 tournament for the first time in her career, and lost to 12th seed Garbiñe Muguruza of Spain and Venezuela, despite leading 3-0 in the deciding set.[39] Her struggles continued with a first-round loss at the Copa Colsanitas, while also failing to reach the main draw of the Madrid Open.
