Anisimova and Rybakina are set to face off in a thrilling WTA Finals round-robin encounter between two of 2025’s most impressive comeback stories. Anisimova, ranked No. 4, holds a 45-16 record this season, her best campaign to date.

After a sluggish start, the American found her stride with a breakthrough WTA 1000 title in Qatar, followed by deep Grand Slam runs, including finals at Wimbledon and the US Open. She capped off her season with another WTA 1000 crown at the China Open, cementing her place among the tour’s elite.

Rybakina, ranked No. 6, has also bounced back strongly after an injury-hit 2024. With a 53-19 record, the Kazakh star lifted titles at the WTA 500 events in Strasbourg and Ningbo, while scoring notable wins over Aryna Sabalenka, Jasmine Paolini, and Paula Badosa.

Consistency and power have been her trademarks this season, and she’ll be eager to carry that form into the WTA Finals after clinching qualification through a strong late push.

Rybakina enters the WTA Finals with solid form, having gone 9-2 since the US Open before withdrawing from the Toray Pan Pacific Open semifinals due to a back issue. While her recent wins show strong momentum, her fitness remains a question.

Anisimova, meanwhile, has been in imperious form, following her US Open runner-up finish with a dominant title run at the China Open. Confident and consistent, she’ll look to make a statement in her first group-stage match. The American will push to win in straight sets if Rybakina’s movement appears restricted.

Pick: Anisimova to win in striaght sets.
