Ekaterina Alexandrova has stepped in to replace Keys after Mirra Andreeva, currently ranked as the ninth-ranked player, decided against participating due to not being fit to compete today, as stated by the Women's Tennis Association.
Current reports have highlighted concerns about how players are facing challenges by the WTA.
Welcome to another day at the WTA Finals. While all contests offer thrilling action, the primary attraction features Swiatek competing against Amanda Anisimova.
Their previous encounter at Wimbledon earlier this season proved extremely lopsided, with the Polish star achieving a commanding double bagel win. However, 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 victorious player progressing to the next round in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Earlier in the day, Elena Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova replacing the originally scheduled opponent. The American player pulled out due to illness in what represents a meaningless match, paving the way for the world No 10 to participate. The Kazakh star aims to continue her unbeaten streak, having already beaten both Swiatek and the American contender to claim her last-four position.
