Alexandrova has been called up to replace Madison Keys after Andreeva, currently ranked as world No 9, decided against participating due to not being fit to play today, as stated by the Women's Tennis Association.
Current coverage have highlighted concerns about how players are facing challenges by the tournament organizers.
Welcome to the latest installment at the WTA Finals. While all contests promise excitement, the main event features Swiatek competing against Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at Wimbledon four months ago was remarkably one-sided, with Swiatek securing a decisive double bagel victory. Nevertheless, Anisimova made an impressive comeback shortly after, overcoming her opponent in convincing fashion during the New York tournament.
Today's match marks the final installment of their ongoing battle, with the winner advancing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Before that contest, Elena Rybakina will compete against Alexandrova instead of Madison Keys. Keys pulled out due to health issues in what constitutes a meaningless match, paving the way for the tenth-ranked player to step in. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten record, having already beaten both her Polish rival and the American contender to claim her last-four position.
