Welcome to the latest installment at the Women's Tennis Finals. While all contests promise excitement, the main event showcases Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their last meeting at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this season was remarkably one-sided, with the Polish star achieving a decisive 6-0, 6-0 victory.

The American player withdrew due to health issues in what constitutes a dead rubber, paving the way for the world No 10 to step in. The Kazakh star aims to continue her unbeaten streak, having already beaten both Swiatek and Anisimova to claim her last-four spot.
