Greetings to the latest installment at the Women's Tennis Finals. Although both matches offer thrilling action, the main event showcases Swiatek competing against Amanda Anisimova.

Rybakina aims to continue her perfect record, having already beaten both her Polish rival and the American contender to secure her semi-final position.
