Get ready for some serious excitement – the WTA 1000 tournament in Doha is officially happening! We’ve already tasted the action, watching Mirra Andreeva, Maria Sakkari, and others. Now, things are about to heat up even more. The top players are here, including Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, and Aryna Sabalenka – you might have even seen them looking fabulous at the players’ party! But the big question is, who’s going to dominate the courts at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex? We’ll be keeping a close eye on all the matches to find out. And speaking of watching, if you’re wondering how you can catch all the drama unfold, stick around – we’ve got you covered!
Talking about the top 3 competitors, Iga Swiatek is now eyeing to clinch her fourth consecutive title in Doha. She’ll be facing Maria Sakkari in her first match today, February 10th.
While the world number one, Aryna Sabalenka currently wants to forget her disappointing loss in the 2025 Australian Open final with a title triumph at the Qatar Open. Aryna Sabalenka has previously won titles in Doha (2020) and Abu Dhabi (2021). Can she make it three with a successful run at the Middle East swing?
