Match Overview
Welcome to the latest installment at the WTA Finals. While all contests offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Swiatek facing off with Anisimova.
Their last meeting at Wimbledon four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek securing a commanding 6-0, 6-0 win. Nevertheless, Anisimova made an impressive recovery shortly after, overcoming her opponent in straight sets during the New York tournament.
Today's match 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 compete against Alexandrova replacing Madison Keys. The American player pulled out due to illness in what represents a dead rubber, paving the way for the world No 10 to step in. The Kazakh star aims to maintain her unbeaten record, having already beaten both her Polish rival and Anisimova to secure her last-four position.
