Game Preview
Greetings to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. Although both matches offer thrilling action, the main event features Iga Swiatek competing against Anisimova.
Their last meeting at Wimbledon earlier this season was remarkably one-sided, with the Polish star achieving a commanding double bagel win. However, Anisimova made an impressive comeback shortly after, overcoming her opponent in straight sets during the New York tournament.
This crucial encounter marks the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, with the winner advancing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Before that contest, Elena Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova instead of Madison Keys. Keys withdrew due to health issues in what constitutes a dead rubber, paving the way for the world No 10 to step in. Rybakina aims to maintain her unbeaten record, having previously defeated both Swiatek and Anisimova to claim her semi-final spot.
