Match Preview
Welcome to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. While both matches promise excitement, the main event showcases Iga Swiatek competing against Anisimova.
Their last meeting at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this season proved extremely lopsided, with the Polish star achieving a decisive 6-0, 6-0 victory. However, Anisimova delivered a remarkable comeback shortly after, overcoming her opponent in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals.
Today's match marks the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, 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 Madison Keys. Keys pulled out due to health issues in what represents a meaningless match, paving the way for the world No 10 to participate. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten record, having previously defeated both her Polish rival and the American contender to secure her semi-final position.
