Match Preview
Welcome to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. While all contests offer thrilling action, the main event showcases Iga Swiatek competing against Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this season was remarkably one-sided, with the Polish star securing a commanding double bagel victory. Nevertheless, Anisimova made an impressive comeback just weeks later, overcoming Swiatek in straight sets during the New York tournament.
This crucial encounter marks the final installment of their ongoing battle, with the winner advancing to the next round in Riyadh.
Earlier in the day, Rybakina will compete against Alexandrova replacing the originally scheduled opponent. The American player withdrew due to health issues in what represents a dead rubber, allowing the world No 10 to step in. Rybakina aims to continue her perfect record, having previously defeated both her Polish rival and Anisimova to secure her last-four position.
