Player Substitution Announced
Alexandrova has been called up to substitute for Madison Keys after Mirra Andreeva, currently ranked as the ninth-ranked player, decided against participating due to lacking fitness to compete today, according to the WTA.

Recent reports have highlighted issues about how competitors are facing challenges by the WTA.
Match Overview
Welcome to another day at the WTA Finals. While both matches offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova.
Their last meeting at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this season proved extremely lopsided, with the Polish star achieving a decisive double bagel win. However, the American player made an impressive comeback shortly after, overcoming her opponent in convincing fashion during the New York tournament.
This crucial encounter represents the final installment of their ongoing battle, with the winner progressing to the semi-finals in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Before that contest, Rybakina will compete against Alexandrova instead of the originally scheduled opponent. Keys pulled out due to health issues in what constitutes a meaningless match, allowing the tenth-ranked player to step in. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten record, having previously defeated both Swiatek and the American contender to claim her semi-final position.
