Game Preview
Welcome to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. While both matches offer thrilling action, the main event features Iga Swiatek competing against Amanda Anisimova.
Their last meeting at Wimbledon four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek achieving a decisive 6-0, 6-0 victory. Nevertheless, Anisimova made an impressive comeback shortly after, overcoming her opponent in straight sets during the US Open quarter-finals.
This crucial encounter marks the third chapter of their ongoing battle, with the victorious player progressing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Before that contest, Rybakina will compete against Ekaterina Alexandrova replacing the originally scheduled opponent. Keys withdrew due to health issues in what constitutes a meaningless match, paving the way for the world No 10 to participate. Rybakina aims to continue her perfect record, having already beaten both Swiatek and Anisimova to secure her semi-final spot.
