Six-time Major champion Iga Swiatek will square off against Amanda Anisimova in the group stage of the WTA Finals 2025.

Swiatek commenced her campaign with an easy 6-1, 6-2 win over Madison Keys. She was up against Elena Rybakina in her second match of the group stage. The Pole was off to another one of her quick starts, racing ahead 3-0 in a matter of minutes.

Swiatek didn't let her headstart go to waste, and remained in front until the end to take the first set. However, she was simply outclassed by Rybakina for the remainder of the match, who dropped only one more game to wrap up a 3-6, 6-1, 6-0 comeback win.

Anisimova went down 6-3, 6-1 to Rybakina in her first group tie. She took on compatriot Madison Keys in her next match of the group stage. Both players were off to a shaky start but found their rhythm after four consecutive service breaks.

Keys raised her level towards the end of the set, bagging three games on the trot to claim the opener. She rode this wave of momentum to go 2-0 up in the second set.

However, Anisimova clawed her way back into the match to snatch her set from her opponent's grasp. She continued to dictate the proceedings in the third set as well, breaking Keys' serve twice to score a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 win.

Swiatek had won all four of her previous matches against Rybakina this season. She was on track for yet another win after capturing the first set but completely lost the plot. While her opponent played quite well, the Pole had 42 unforced errors against only 12 winners.

Anisimova, who's making her WTA Finals debut, secured her very first win of the tournament by fighting past Keys. After being on the receiving end of a 6-0, 6-0 drubbing from Swiatek in this year's Wimbledon final, she avenged that loss at the US Open a few weeks later.

Anisimova will be keen to take a page from Rybakina's book to beat Swiatek. Just like the Kazakh, she is capable of hitting with great depth and power, and is equally dangerous on serve. Swiatek, meanwhile, will aim to play with more margin as well as patience.

Both players' WTA Finals campaign hinges on this match. However, Swiatek's error-strewn performance against Rybakina makes her the underdog against Anisimova this time unless she switches up her tactics.

Pick: Amanda Anisimova to win in three sets.
