Match Overview
Welcome to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. While all contests promise excitement, the primary attraction features Iga Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their last meeting at Wimbledon four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek securing a decisive double bagel win. Nevertheless, the American player made an impressive recovery shortly after, overcoming her opponent in straight sets during the New York tournament.
This crucial encounter marks the final installment of their competitive rivalry, with the winner advancing to the next round in Riyadh.
Earlier in the day, Elena Rybakina will face Alexandrova instead of the originally scheduled opponent. The American player withdrew due to illness in what constitutes a meaningless match, paving the way for the world No 10 to participate. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten record, having already beaten both her Polish rival and the American contender to claim her semi-final position.
