Game Preview

Welcome to the latest installment at the WTA Finals. Although both matches offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Swiatek competing against Amanda Anisimova.

Their previous encounter at the Wimbledon Championships four months ago was remarkably one-sided, with the Polish star achieving a decisive 6-0, 6-0 victory. Nevertheless, Anisimova delivered a remarkable comeback just weeks later, defeating Swiatek in straight sets during the New York tournament.

This crucial encounter marks the third chapter of their ongoing battle, with the victorious player progressing to the semi-finals in the Saudi Arabian capital.

Earlier in the day, Elena Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova instead of Madison Keys. Keys pulled out due to illness in what represents a dead rubber, allowing the world No 10 to participate. Rybakina aims to maintain her perfect record, having previously defeated both her Polish rival and the American contender to secure her last-four spot.
