Game Preview
Greetings to another day at the WTA Finals. While all contests promise excitement, the primary attraction features Iga Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at Wimbledon earlier this season was remarkably one-sided, with Swiatek achieving a decisive double bagel victory. However, Anisimova made an impressive comeback just weeks later, overcoming her opponent in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals.
Today's match marks the third chapter of their ongoing battle, with the winner advancing to the semi-finals in Riyadh.
Before that contest, Rybakina will face Alexandrova replacing Madison Keys. Keys pulled out due to illness in what represents a dead rubber, allowing the tenth-ranked player to participate. The Kazakh star aims to continue her unbeaten streak, having previously defeated both Swiatek and Anisimova to claim her semi-final spot.
