Although all contests promise excitement, the primary attraction features Iga Swiatek competing against Anisimova. Their previous encounter at Wimbledon earlier this season proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek securing a decisive 6-0, 6-0 win. Nevertheless, the American player delivered a remarkable recovery just weeks later, defeating Swiatek in convincing fashion during the New York tournament. This crucial encounter marks the third chapter of their ongoing battle, with the victorious player progressing to the semi-finals in Riyadh. Earlier in the day, Elena Rybakina will compete against Alexandrova instead of Madison Keys. The American player withdrew due to illness in what represents a dead rubber, allowing the tenth-ranked player to step in. The Kazakh star aims to continue her perfect record, having already beaten both Swiatek and Anisimova to claim her last-four position.
