One of the matches at the WTA Finals on Nov. 5 will see World No. 2 Iga Świątek face World No. 4 Amanda Anisimova. The 2025 season has been another outstanding year for Świątek, as the Pole has won more than 60 matches, capturing her sixth major at Wimbledon and titles at Cincinnati and Seoul. At the WTA Finals, she started her campaign with a confident 6-1, 6-2 win over Madison Keys but then lost to Elena Rybakina in her next match, 6-3, 1-6, 0-6.
The 2025 season has also been a breakthrough for Anisimova, who finally showcased her raw talent on the biggest stages. The American reached consecutive major finals at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, proving her mettle against the top players in the world. She also won two WTA 1000 titles in Doha and Beijing and broke into the WTA top five. At the WTA Finals, she fell 3-6, 1-6 to Elena Rybakina but rebounded with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Madison Keys in her next match.

Świątek vs Anisimova Head-to-Head
After two meetings, Świątek and Anisimova are tied 1-1. Their first encounter came in the Wimbledon final, where Świątek dominated the American without dropping a game. Their second meeting was at the U.S. Open quarterfinals, where Anisimova claimed revenge, winning 6-4, 6-3.
Świątek vs Anisimova Prediction
Świątek has reached only one indoor hard-court final in her career, at the 2022 Ostrava Open, where she lost 7-5, 6-7 (4), 3-6 to Barbora Krejcikova.
In contrast, Anisimova has reached six hard-court finals, though none indoors. She has contested a hard-court major final and won two WTA 1000 hard-court titles.
Overall, Świątek has a 41-11 record on hard courts this year, winning Cincinnati and Seoul, with semifinal finishes at the Australian Open, Qatar Open, and BNP Paribas Open. Anisimova has a 26-9 record on hard courts, winning Doha and Beijing, along with a runner-up finish at the US Open.
The indoor conditions will favor Anisimova’s power game over Świątek’s style, which is better suited to slower surfaces. Although Świątek crushed Anisimova at Wimbledon, that result was largely due to Anisimova’s nerves on a big occasion — a factor confirmed by her dominant victory on an equally fast court in New York a month later.
Pick: Anisimova to win in three sets
