The tournament will occur from December 8th to 10th.
The first four seeded players will receive a bye in the first round.
The remaining first round matches and the quarterfinal matches will be played collectively on the first day of the tournament, Thursday, December 8. On Friday, the semifinals will be held and on the third day the winner of the Diriyah Tennis Cup will be determined.
However, it will not be just a singles tournament, as a doubles tournament will be added this year.
So the losers of the first day will start their own doubles tournament on Friday. As with the singles tournament, the semifinals will be played on Friday and the doubles final on Saturday.
Matches will be played in singles and doubles best of three with regular scoring under the ITF Rules of Tennis, with the exception of the third set in which a match tie-break to 10 will be played in singles and doubles instead of a regular third set. The first round in singles (round of 16) will be best of three match tie-breaks to 10.
