Game Preview
Welcome to the latest installment at the WTA Finals. Although both matches promise excitement, the main event features Iga Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their last meeting at Wimbledon earlier this season was remarkably one-sided, with the Polish star securing a commanding 6-0, 6-0 victory. Nevertheless, Anisimova made an impressive recovery shortly after, overcoming her opponent in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals.
Today's match represents the final installment of their competitive rivalry, with the winner progressing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Before that contest, Rybakina will compete against Alexandrova replacing the originally scheduled opponent. Keys withdrew due to health issues in what constitutes a meaningless match, paving the way for the tenth-ranked player to step in. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten record, having previously defeated both her Polish rival and Anisimova to claim her last-four spot.
