Although all contests offer thrilling action, the main event showcases Iga Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova. Their last meeting at Wimbledon four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek securing a commanding double bagel win. Nevertheless, the American player delivered a remarkable recovery just weeks later, defeating her opponent in straight sets during the US Open quarter-finals. This crucial encounter represents the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, with the winner advancing to the next round in Riyadh. Earlier in the day, Rybakina will face Alexandrova replacing Madison Keys. Keys withdrew due to health issues in what represents a meaningless match, allowing the world No 10 to step in. Rybakina aims to continue her unbeaten record, having already beaten both Swiatek and Anisimova to claim her last-four spot.
