Game Overview
Welcome to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. Although all contests offer thrilling action, the main event features Iga Swiatek facing off with Anisimova.
Their last meeting at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this season proved extremely lopsided, with the Polish star achieving a commanding double bagel win. However, the American player delivered a remarkable recovery just weeks later, defeating her opponent in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals.
Today's match marks the final installment of their ongoing battle, with the winner progressing to the semi-finals in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Earlier in the day, Elena Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova replacing the originally scheduled opponent. Keys withdrew due to health issues in what represents a meaningless match, paving the way for the world No 10 to step in. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten record, having already beaten both her Polish rival and Anisimova to claim her last-four position.
