While all contests offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Swiatek facing off with Amanda Anisimova. Their last meeting at Wimbledon four months ago proved extremely lopsided, with Swiatek achieving a commanding 6-0, 6-0 win. However, the American player delivered a remarkable comeback shortly after, overcoming Swiatek in convincing fashion during the New York tournament. This crucial encounter marks the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, with the victorious player progressing to the semi-finals in Riyadh. Before that contest, Rybakina will compete against Alexandrova instead of Madison Keys. Keys withdrew due to illness in what constitutes a dead rubber, paving the way for the tenth-ranked player to step in. Rybakina aims to maintain her perfect record, having previously defeated both her Polish rival and the American contender to claim her last-four spot.
