Both of these players made a winning start in the round-robin stage of the WTA Finals. Second seed Iga Swiatek faces sixth-seeded Elena Rybakina in this indoor hard court tournament being played in Riyadh. Here's our match prediction.

Iga Swiatek was in dominant form when beating Madison Keys for the loss of three games in her opening match. After this match against Rybakina, Swiatek takes on Amanda Anisimova in her final group match.

Swiatek has won a couple of hard court titles this year.  Her most recent title win was in Seoul in late September.  This is her 11th match against Rybakina and she has won six of the previous ten, including the last four (all this year), three on hard courts.

Not since Indian Wells in 2023 has Elena Rybakina recorded a victory over Iga Swiatek.

Her only other hard court win over the Pole came earlier that year in the Australian Open. Rybakina began these WTA Finals with a straight sets victory over Amanda Anisimova, llosing four games. Her final group match will be against Madison Keys.

The win over Anisimova was her 41st hard court win of 2025, the same number as her opponent but with three more defeats. Rybakina has won two hard court titles this year, most recently being victorious in Ningbo.

We tip Swiatek to win this match.
