Game Preview
Welcome to the latest installment at the WTA Finals. While all contests promise excitement, the primary attraction showcases Iga Swiatek competing against Anisimova.
Their last meeting at Wimbledon four months ago was remarkably one-sided, with the Polish star achieving a decisive 6-0, 6-0 victory. Nevertheless, Anisimova delivered a remarkable recovery shortly after, defeating her opponent in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals.
Today's match marks the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, with the winner advancing to the semi-finals in Riyadh.
Before that contest, Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova replacing Madison Keys. Keys pulled out due to health issues in what represents a meaningless match, allowing the world No 10 to step in. The Kazakh star aims to continue her perfect record, having previously defeated both her Polish rival and the American contender to secure her last-four position.
