Game Preview

Greetings to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. While all contests offer thrilling action, the main event features Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.

Their last meeting at Wimbledon four months ago was remarkably one-sided, with Swiatek securing a decisive double bagel win. Nevertheless, Anisimova delivered a remarkable comeback shortly after, overcoming her opponent in convincing fashion during the New York tournament.

This crucial encounter represents the third chapter of their ongoing battle, with the winner progressing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.

Before that contest, Elena Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova replacing Madison Keys. Keys pulled out due to illness in what constitutes a meaningless match, allowing the tenth-ranked player to participate. Rybakina aims to maintain her perfect record, having previously defeated both her Polish rival and the American contender to secure her last-four spot.

Key Points

  • Player substitution: Ekaterina Alexandrova steps in for Madison Keys
  • Main event: Swiatek vs Anisimova
