Alexandrova has stepped in to replace Madison Keys after Andreeva, who holds world No 9, chose not to sign in due to lacking fitness to play in today's matches, as stated by the Women's Tennis Association.

Background Information

Current reports have highlighted issues about how players are being let down by the tournament organizers.

Game Preview

Welcome to another day at the WTA Finals. While all contests offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Swiatek competing against Amanda Anisimova.

Their previous encounter at Wimbledon earlier this season proved extremely lopsided, with the Polish star achieving a commanding 6-0, 6-0 victory. Nevertheless, the American player delivered a remarkable recovery shortly after, defeating her opponent in convincing fashion during the New York tournament.

This crucial encounter represents the final installment of their competitive rivalry, with the winner advancing to the next round in Riyadh.

Earlier in the day, Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova instead of Madison Keys. Keys withdrew due to health issues in what represents a meaningless match, allowing the world No 10 to participate. The Kazakh star aims to continue her perfect streak, having already beaten both her Polish rival and Anisimova to secure her semi-final spot.
