World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka battled past Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in a fierce semifinal showdown to earn her place in the WTA Finals championship match against Elena Rybakina, as both contenders aim to capture their maiden Billie Jean King Trophy.

The highly anticipated final on Saturday will feature the tournament’s two unbeaten players. Sabalenka, last year’s runner-up, enters with a slight advantage - she leads Rybakina 8–5 in their career meetings, including a victory in the 2023 Australian Open final.
