Game Preview
Welcome to the latest installment at the WTA Finals. While all contests offer thrilling action, the main event showcases Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at the Wimbledon Championships four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek achieving a commanding double bagel victory. However, the American player made an impressive recovery shortly after, overcoming her opponent in convincing fashion during the New York tournament.
This crucial encounter marks the final installment of their competitive rivalry, with the victorious player advancing to the semi-finals in the Saudi Arabian capital.

The American player pulled out due to health issues in what represents a meaningless match, allowing the world No 10 to step in. Rybakina aims to maintain her perfect record, having previously defeated both her Polish rival and the American contender to claim her semi-final spot.
