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?

Coco Gauff is also keen to clinch her third WTA 1000 title of her career. She will face Marta Kostyuk in the first match on Tuesday. Coco Gauff has returned to the Middle East for the first time since her WTA Finals triumph in Riyadh in 2024. She didn’t have a great start to her 2025 season. Can she make a stronger run in Doha?
