Amanda Anisimova vs Elena Rybakina prediction
Amanda Anisimova makes her maiden appearance at the WTA Finals after the best season of her career. She is coming into this after winning her second 1000 event of the campaign in Beijing. The American also won the title in Doha while she reached the first two Grand Slam finals of her career at Wimbledon and the US Open. She began her season outside the top 30 of the world rankings and is now ranked four.
She faces Elena Rybakina, who last competed in Tokyo but withdrew before her semi-final match with Linda Noskova due to a back problem. Her win in the quarter-final of the event sealed her place in the competition. The 2022 Wimbledon champion did not win a major or Masters event, but still performed consistently throughout the season as she won two titles in Strasbourg and Ningbo, along with getting through to seven other semi-finals.
This is likely to be a fascinating encounter between two fearsome hitters from the baseline, who have never faced each other on the tour before. Anisimova may be the slight favourite given her track record this season but it’s very tight between the pair.
