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.{{cite web |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/players/323942/anna-kalinskaya#rankingshistory |title=Anna Kalinskaya - Rankings History |language=en |publisher=WTA |date=2024-02-19 |access-date=2024-02-22}}

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. She reached the semifinals in the first and made it to the finals of the second, where she was forced to give a walkover to Bosnian player Ema Burgić Bucko.{{cite web |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/players/323942/anna-kalinskaya#matches |title=Anna Kalinskaya - Matches |language=en |publisher=WTA |date=2024-02-19 |access-date=2024-02-22}} The result pushed her into the top 600.

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. She played four more ITF tournaments without much success.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Her doubles performances during the year were primarily on the ITF Circuit.

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.{{Cite web |title=Getting to know you: Introducing Melbourne's Grand Slam debutantes |url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/1444935/getting-to-know-you-introducing-melbournes-grand-slam-debutantes |access-date=2019-12-08 |website=Women's Tennis Association |date=5 January 2018 |language=en}} Her first opponent in the main draw was Italian player Camila Giorgi, but Kalinskaya lost in two sets.{{Cite web |title=Tennis, Australian Open 2018: Camila Giorgi accede al secondo turno!

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.

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.

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.{{Cite web |title=China's women on song at Australian Open - China.org.cn |url=http://www.china.org.cn/sports/2020-01/21/content_75634950.htm |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=www.china.org.cn}} 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 Challenger Indian 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. She qualified anew at the following Premier 5 Cincinnati Open. This was her first time in the main draw of a Premier 5/Mandatory tournament, but she fell in the first round to Czech player Marie Bouzková, in straight sets. At the US Open, Kalinskaya beat Serbian Nina Stojanović to reach the second round for the second consecutive year, but lost to Czech 20th seed Karolína Muchová. She tried to qualify for another Premier 5 tournament, the Italian Open, but lost in the final qualifying stage. In late September she finished the season with a main-draw, first-round loss at the postponed French Open. Despite the losses, she completed at least one main-draw performance at all four majors. Kalinskaya sank to No. 117 in August, 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 French player Clara Burel in three sets. The Abierto Zapopan in Guadalajara was her third tournament, and she lost to Canadian Leylah Fernandez.

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.{{Cite web |date=2021-03-17 |title=Podoroska cae frente a Kalinskaya en Monterrey |url=https://canaltenis.com/podoroska-kalinskaya-wta-monterrey/ |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=Canal Tenis |language=es}} 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, despite leading 3-0 in the deciding set.{{Cite web |title=Muguruza overcomes Kalinskaya in three sets at Miami Open |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2079253/muguruza-overcomes-kalinskaya-in-three-sets-at-miami-open |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=Women's Tennis Association |language=en}} Her struggles continued with a first-round loss at the Copa Colsanitas, while also failing to reach the main draw of the Madrid Open. However, in late May she defeated former top-10 Kristina Mladenovic in the first round of the Serbia Open. After being eliminated in the first round of qualifying at the French Open, she managed to qualify at the Wimbledon. Kalinskaya qualified for the main draw for the second time in succession, after beating Australian Priscilla Hon from 0-3 down in the decider.{{Cite web |last=Wancke |first=Barbara |title=Swan remains on track at qualifying but Bains falls {{!}} Tennis Threads Magazine |date=25 June 2021 |url=https://tennisthreads.net/swan-remains-on-track-at-qualifying-but-bains-falls/ |access-date=2022-03-03 |language=en-GB}} In the main draw she lost to Colombian qualifier Camila Osorio. At the US Open, she lost in the second qualifying round to Greek player Valentini Grammatikopoulou. Thus she ended her three-in-a-row streak in the main draw.

After falling to No. 151 in the singles rankings in October, Kalinskaya returned with a fourth-round appearance at the Indian Wells Open as a qualifier, scoring her third top-50 win of the year over Sara Sorribes Tormo of Spain in the process.{{Cite web |title=Over 3 hours, Kalinskaya finds way past Sorribes Tormo defense: Indian Wells Highlights |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/videos/2286155/over-3-hours-kalinskaya-finds-way-past-sorribes-tormo-defense-indian-wells-highlights |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=Women's Tennis Association |language=en}} In the fourth round, she lost to Ons Jabeur. The following week she qualified for the main draw at the Kremlin Cup, but was forced to retire in the second round against Greek player Maria Sakkari due to an injury.{{Cite web |title=Sakkari moves past ailing Kalinskaya in Moscow, clinches WTA Finals spot |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2300034/sakkari-moves-past-ailing-kalinskaya-in-moscow-clinches-wta-finals-spot |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=Women's Tennis Association |language=en}} She ended her season with a quarterfinal appearance at the Courmayeur Ladies Open, beating sixth seed Alison Riske.{{Cite web |title=Samsonova breezes by Kalinskaya in 57 minutes to reach 3rd SF of year: Courmayeur Highlights |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/videos/2313462/samsonova-breezes-by-kalinskaya-in-57-minutes-to-reach-3rd-sf-of-year-courmayeur-highlights |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=Women's Tennis Association |language=en}}

The Yarra Valley Classic was her first doubles event of the year, and she made it into the final alongside Kužmová, before losing to the Japanese duo of Ena Shibahara and Shuko Aoyama.{{Cite web |date=2021-02-08 |title=Japanese duo S Aoyama and E Shibahara won doubles title in Yarra Valley Classic < Asian Tennis Federation - ATF Official Website - New Delhi |url=https://www.asiantennis.com/japanese-duo-s-aoyama-and-e-shibahara-won-doubles-title-in-yarra-valley-classic/ |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=Asian Tennis Federation - ATF Official Website - New Delhi |language=en-US}} Things also improved at the Australian Open, when she reached her first third round there, and her second at any Grand Slam tournament. At the French Open she was eliminated in the first round, but went one step further at Wimbledon. Despite losing in the first round of the US Open, this was the first season she played all four majors. In the second half of September she won her second WTA Tour doubles title at the Slovenia Open, alongside Mihalíková.{{Cite web |title=WTA Portotož: Tereza Mihalíková senzačne získala deblový titul |url=https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/6f7yt2g/wta-portotoz-tereza-mihalikova-senzacne-ziskala-deblovy-titul/ |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=Šport.sk |date=19 September 2021 |language=sk}} On 22 February 2021, she reached a career-high doubles ranking of 69.

Kalinskaya started her season by qualifying for the Melbourne Summer Set. In the main draw, she was forced to retire during the second set against her compatriot Daria Kasatkina. As a leading seed at the Australian Open qualifying, she lost in straight sets to Andrea Lázaro García.{{Cite web |last=Dan Imhoff |date=10 January 2022 |title=AO qualifying: Aussie teen, comeback Canadian win through |url=https://ausopen.com/articles/news/ao-qualifying-aussie-teen-comeback-canadian-win-through |access-date=21 July 2022 |website=ausopen.com}} She continued to struggle at the St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy where she lost in the final qualifying stage.

At the next three tournaments, Kalinskaya made progress. Ranked at No. 100, she defeated three better-ranked players at the Abierto Zapopan in Guadalajara, Mexico, and reached the semifinals. In the semifinal match against Stephens, she won the first set against the eventual champion, but retired after the second set when her opponent made a turnover.{{Cite web |date=February 27, 2022 |title=Bouzkova, Stephens advance to Guadalajara final |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2507794/bouzkova-stephens-advance-to-guadalajara-final |access-date=21 July 2022 |website=WTA Tennis}} The second good result came at the Indian Wells Open, where she won two qualifying matches and achieved main-draw wins against two French players, Harmony Tan and Alizé Cornet. Despite winning the first set against Romanian Sorana Cîrstea in the third round, she lost another two sets, winning only one game. The same situation happened again at the Miami Open, where she reached the third round after qualifying, but this time she did a walkover before the third-round match against Lucia Bronzetti. Previously, in the second round, she defeated the world's No. 6, Karolína Plíšková, to notch her second top-10 win.{{Cite web |date=March 24, 2022 |title=Siniakova edges Raducanu; Jabeur wins, Pliskova upset in Miami |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2549225/siniakova-edges-raducanu-jabeur-wins-pliskova-upset-in-miami |access-date=21 July 2022 |website=WTA Tennis}}

Her first Grand Slam tournament main-draw appearance of the year was at the French Open. Being in the top 100, she secured an automatic place in the main draw, but lost to American Madison Keys. Her grass-court season started with two second rounds, the (Rosmalen Championships, and the German Open). Swiss player Belinda Bencic eliminated her at both.{{Cite web |date=June 16, 2022 |title=Jabeur holds off Parks in Berlin; Bencic beats Kalinskaya for second straight week |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2647603/jabeur-holds-off-parks-in-berlin-bencic-beats-kalinskaya-for-second-straight-week |access-date=21 July 2022 |website=WTA Tennis}} After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, she was suspended for playing at Wimbledon because of the Russian players ban. On 18 July 2022, she reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 70, after losing in the second round of the Ladies Open Lusanne. She lost to Danilović despite having a match point.{{Cite web |date=20 July 2022 |title=Great Escapes 2022: Winning from match point down |url=https://www.wtatennis.com/photos/2445919/great-escapes-2022-winning-from-match-point-down |access-date=21 July 2022 |website=WTA Tennis}}

Following a second round showing at the US Open, she reached a new career-high ranking of No. 51 on 12 September 2022. At the WTA 1000 Guadalajara Open, she defeated ninth seed Barbora Krejčíková, marking her third top-20 win of the season,{{cite web | url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2859679/kalinskaya-surprises-krejcikova-haddad-maia-falls-in-guadalajara | title=Kalinskaya surprises Krejcikova; Haddad Maia falls in Guadalajara }} She defeated Elise Mertens, and seventh seed Daria Kasatkina, her fourth top-20 win, to reach the quarterfinals for the first time at this level.
