Game Overview
Welcome to the latest installment at the Women's Tennis Finals. While both matches offer thrilling action, the main event features Swiatek competing against Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at Wimbledon four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek securing a decisive 6-0, 6-0 win. However, the American player made an impressive comeback shortly after, defeating Swiatek in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals.
Today's match represents the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, with the winner advancing to the semi-finals in Riyadh.
Earlier in the day, Rybakina will compete against Ekaterina Alexandrova replacing Madison Keys. Keys withdrew due to health issues in what constitutes a dead rubber, paving the way for the world No 10 to participate. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten record, having already beaten both Swiatek and the American contender to secure her last-four spot.
