Game Preview
Welcome to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. Although both matches offer thrilling action, the main event showcases Swiatek facing off with Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at the Wimbledon Championships four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with the Polish star achieving a commanding 6-0, 6-0 victory. However, Anisimova delivered a remarkable recovery shortly after, defeating her opponent in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals.
This crucial encounter represents the final installment of their ongoing battle, with the victorious player advancing to the semi-finals in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Earlier in the day, Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova instead of the originally scheduled opponent. The American player withdrew due to illness in what constitutes a meaningless match, paving the way for the world No 10 to participate. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten streak, having already beaten both her Polish rival and Anisimova to claim her semi-final spot.
