Game Preview
Greetings to the latest installment at the WTA Finals. While all contests offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Iga Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at Wimbledon earlier this season was remarkably one-sided, with Swiatek securing a decisive 6-0, 6-0 win. However, Anisimova made an impressive recovery just weeks later, 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 progressing to the next round in Riyadh.

The American player withdrew due to health issues in what represents a dead rubber, allowing the world No 10 to participate. Rybakina aims to continue her perfect streak, having already beaten both her Polish rival and the American contender to secure her semi-final position.
