Game Overview
Welcome to the latest installment at the WTA Finals. While all contests promise excitement, the main event features Swiatek facing off with Anisimova.
Their last meeting at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this season proved extremely lopsided, with the Polish star achieving a commanding double bagel win. However, Anisimova made an impressive comeback just weeks later, overcoming Swiatek in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals.
Today's match marks the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, with the victorious player progressing to the semi-finals in Riyadh.
Before that contest, Elena Rybakina will face Alexandrova replacing Madison Keys. Keys withdrew due to health issues in what represents a dead rubber, paving the way for the world No 10 to participate. The Kazakh star aims to continue her perfect record, having previously defeated both Swiatek and Anisimova to claim her last-four position.
