Match Preview
Welcome to another day at the WTA Finals. While both matches offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Iga Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their last meeting at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this season was remarkably one-sided, with Swiatek achieving a decisive double bagel win. Nevertheless, Anisimova delivered a remarkable recovery just weeks later, defeating Swiatek in convincing fashion during the New York tournament.
This crucial encounter marks the third chapter of their ongoing battle, with the winner progressing to the semi-finals in Riyadh.
Earlier in the day, Rybakina will face 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 previously defeated both her Polish rival and the American contender to secure her semi-final spot.
