🔗 Share this article WTA Finals Updates: Elena Rybakina Takes On Alexandrova, Swiatek Battles Anisimova Latest Game Updates Player Change Announced Ekaterina Alexandrova has been called up to replace Madison Keys following Mirra Andreeva, who holds world No 9, chose not to sign in because of not being fit to play in today's matches, according to the WTA. Background Details Recent reports have highlighted concerns about how players are being let down by the WTA. Match Preview Welcome to another day at the Women's Tennis Finals. Although both matches promise excitement, the main event showcases Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova. Their previous encounter at the Wimbledon Championships four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek securing a decisive 6-0, 6-0 win. Nevertheless, Anisimova delivered a remarkable recovery shortly after, defeating Swiatek in straight sets during the US Open quarter-finals. Today's match represents the final installment of their competitive rivalry, with the victorious player progressing to the semi-finals in the Saudi Arabian capital. Before that contest, Rybakina will compete against Ekaterina Alexandrova instead of the originally scheduled opponent. The American player pulled out due to health issues in what constitutes a meaningless match, allowing the tenth-ranked player to participate. The Kazakh star aims to maintain her unbeaten streak, having previously defeated both Swiatek and the American contender to claim her semi-final position.
