While all contests promise excitement, the main event showcases Swiatek facing off with Anisimova. Their previous encounter at Wimbledon four months ago was remarkably one-sided, with Swiatek achieving a decisive double bagel victory. However, the American player delivered a remarkable recovery just weeks later, overcoming Swiatek in convincing fashion during the US Open quarter-finals. This crucial encounter marks the third chapter of their competitive rivalry, with the winner progressing to the semi-finals in the Saudi Arabian capital.

Keys withdrew due to health issues in what constitutes a dead rubber, paving the way for the world No 10 to step in.
