Defending champion Iga Swiatek was eliminated from the competition yesterday after Barbora Krejcikova defeated Coco Gauff to secure her spot in the last four in Riyadh.
Gauff was already guaranteed to make the semis, but Swiatek needed the American to emerge victorious against Krejcikova, who needed to win herself to progress.
Krejcikova will take on Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen in the last four on Friday, while Gauff will battle Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is the new world No. 1 after successfully dethroning Iga Świątek following her recent form.
The race is likely to heat up again early in 2025, with Sabalenka's Australian Open points back on the table, but for now she will hope for a successful victory lap in Turin.
