The two players have come through the tournament unbeaten, battling through three sets in the semis. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/aryna-sabalenka\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aryna Sabalenka<\/a> this could be a wonderful way to wrap up a blistering year: one of three grand slam finals, another US Open title and her place secure as the world No 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Elena Rybakina, however, has found some serious form. Her title in Ningbo last month has been backed up by wins against Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova in Riyadh. This is her chance to get back at the player who denied her an Australian Open triumph in 2023. We\u2019ll get going at 4pm GMT.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=WTA Finals tennis: Aryna Sabalenka v Elena Rybakina in the final \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2025\/nov\/08\/wta-finals-tennis-aryna-sabalenka-elena-rybakina-final?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-690ca9fc8f087d41c6d80b2b#block-690ca9fc8f087d41c6d80b2b\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Key events Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature The ATP show kicks&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":{"0":"post-271358","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
