Match Preview
Welcome to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. While both matches offer thrilling action, the main event features Swiatek competing against Amanda Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at Wimbledon four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with the Polish star achieving a commanding double bagel victory. Nevertheless, Anisimova made an impressive recovery shortly after, defeating her opponent in convincing fashion during the New York tournament.
Today's match represents the third chapter of their ongoing battle, with the victorious player advancing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Earlier in the day, Rybakina will face Alexandrova instead of the originally scheduled opponent. The American player withdrew due to health issues in what constitutes a meaningless match, allowing the world No 10 to participate. Rybakina aims to continue her perfect record, having already beaten both her Polish rival and Anisimova to secure her semi-final spot.
Key Points
- Player substitution: Alexandrova steps in for Madison Keys
