Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina will look to back up their opening wins at the WTA Finals on day three of the tournament in Riyadh.

Swiatek swept aside a rusty Madison Keys 6-1 6-2 while Rybakina took down Wimbledon and US Open finalist Amanda Anisimova on Saturday.

Swiatek has defeated Rybakina in all four of their meetings this season, after previously trailing their head-to-head 4-2 at the start of the year.

In the second all-American match of the week, the loser of the match between Anisimova and Keys could face an early elimination from the Finals.

On Sunday, Aryna Sabalenka opened her campaign with a dominant win over Jasmine Paolini while Jessica Pegula beat a struggling Coco Gauff.
