Match Preview
Welcome to another day at the WTA Finals. While all contests promise excitement, the primary attraction features Swiatek competing against Amanda Anisimova.
Their last meeting at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this season was remarkably one-sided, with Swiatek securing a decisive 6-0, 6-0 victory. However, the American player delivered a remarkable comeback just weeks later, defeating Swiatek in convincing fashion during the New York tournament.
Today's match represents the final installment of their ongoing battle, with the victorious player advancing to the next round in Riyadh.
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, paving the way for the world No 10 to step in. Rybakina aims to continue her perfect streak, having already beaten both Swiatek and Anisimova to secure her semi-final spot.
