Welcome to the latest installment at the Women's Tennis Finals. Although all contests promise excitement, the main event features Iga Swiatek facing off with Anisimova.

Their last meeting at Wimbledon four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek securing a commanding double bagel victory. Nevertheless, Anisimova made an impressive recovery shortly after, defeating her opponent in straight sets during the New York tournament.

This crucial encounter marks the final installment of their competitive rivalry, with the victorious player progressing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.

Earlier in the day, Rybakina will compete against Ekaterina Alexandrova instead of Madison Keys.
