Match Preview
Welcome to the latest installment at the WTA Finals. Although both matches offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at the Wimbledon Championships four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek achieving a commanding 6-0, 6-0 win. However, the American player made an impressive recovery shortly after, overcoming Swiatek in straight sets during the New York tournament.
Today's match marks the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, with the winner progressing to the semi-finals in Riyadh.
Before that contest, Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova replacing Madison Keys. Keys withdrew due to illness in what represents a meaningless match, paving the way for the world No 10 to participate. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten record, having previously defeated both her Polish rival and the American contender to claim her last-four position.
