Although all contests offer thrilling action, the main event showcases Iga Swiatek facing off with Anisimova. Their previous encounter at Wimbledon four months ago was remarkably one-sided, with the Polish star achieving a decisive double bagel win. Nevertheless, Anisimova made an impressive recovery shortly after, overcoming Swiatek in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals. Today's match represents the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, with the victorious player advancing to the semi-finals in the Saudi Arabian capital. Earlier in the day, Rybakina will compete against Ekaterina Alexandrova instead of Madison Keys. Keys pulled out due to health issues in what represents a dead rubber, allowing the tenth-ranked player to step in. The Kazakh star aims to maintain her unbeaten streak, having already beaten both Swiatek and the American contender to secure her semi-final spot.
