Rybakina, who was the last to qualify for the season finale of the best eight tennis players of the year, continued her winning run at the WTA Finals after winning her three group matches. However, the 2022 Wimbledon winner had to fight hard in the semi-final against American Jessica Pegula before triumphing against the world no. 5 after being a set down.
In the second semi-final, Sabalenka also defeated the American Amanda Anisimova (WTA 4) in three sets. The Belarusian is aiming for her first Masters title in her second appearance in the final of the 15.5 million dollar event in Riyadh. In 2022, she lost to France's Caroline Garcia in two sets.
