Game Preview
Welcome to another day at the WTA Finals. While both matches promise excitement, the primary attraction showcases Iga Swiatek competing against Amanda Anisimova.
Their last meeting at Wimbledon earlier this season proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek securing a decisive double bagel victory. Nevertheless, Anisimova delivered a remarkable comeback shortly after, overcoming her opponent in straight sets during the New York tournament.
Today's match represents the final installment of their ongoing battle, with the winner progressing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Earlier in the day, Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova replacing Madison Keys. The American player pulled out due to illness in what represents a meaningless match, allowing the world No 10 to step in. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten streak, having already beaten both her Polish rival and the American contender to secure her semi-final spot.
