Match Preview
Welcome to the latest installment at the Women's Tennis Finals. While both matches offer thrilling action, the main event features Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at the Wimbledon Championships four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek securing a commanding 6-0, 6-0 win. However, Anisimova delivered a remarkable comeback just weeks later, defeating her opponent in straight sets during the New York tournament.
This crucial encounter marks the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, with the winner advancing to the next round in Riyadh.
Earlier in the day, Rybakina will face Alexandrova replacing the originally scheduled opponent. The American player withdrew due to health issues in what constitutes a meaningless match, allowing the world No 10 to step in. The Kazakh star aims to continue her unbeaten streak, having already beaten both Swiatek and Anisimova to secure her semi-final spot.
