Match Preview
Welcome to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. While all contests promise excitement, the main event features Iga Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at Wimbledon four months ago was remarkably one-sided, with the Polish star securing a commanding 6-0, 6-0 victory. However, Anisimova made an impressive comeback shortly after, defeating Swiatek in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals.
This crucial encounter represents the final installment of their ongoing battle, with the victorious player progressing to the next round in Riyadh.
Before that contest, Rybakina will face Alexandrova replacing the originally scheduled opponent. Keys withdrew due to illness in what represents a meaningless match, allowing the world No 10 to participate. Rybakina aims to continue her perfect streak, having previously defeated both her Polish rival and the American contender to secure her semi-final spot.
