Match Overview
Welcome to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. While all contests offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Swiatek competing against Amanda Anisimova.
Their last meeting at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this season proved extremely lopsided, with the Polish star securing a commanding 6-0, 6-0 win. However, Anisimova made an impressive comeback shortly after, overcoming her opponent in straight sets during the New York tournament.
This crucial encounter represents the final installment of their competitive rivalry, with the winner progressing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Earlier in the day, Rybakina will face Alexandrova instead of the originally scheduled opponent. Keys pulled out due to health issues in what constitutes a dead rubber, paving the way for the world No 10 to step in. Rybakina aims to maintain her unbeaten record, having previously defeated both Swiatek and the American contender to claim her semi-final position.
