Game Preview
Welcome to the latest installment at the Women's Tennis Finals. Although all contests offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Iga Swiatek competing against Amanda Anisimova.
Their last meeting at Wimbledon four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with the Polish star securing a commanding 6-0, 6-0 win. Nevertheless, the American player made an impressive recovery just weeks later, overcoming her opponent in straight sets during the US Open quarter-finals.
This crucial encounter marks the final installment of their ongoing battle, with the winner progressing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Before that contest, Rybakina will compete against Ekaterina Alexandrova replacing Madison Keys.
