The 29th edition of the ATP 250 Qatar Open will host notable players at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex in Doha next week.
The three-time Doha champion Roger Federer is back on the court for the first time in 14 months, facing Daniel Evans or Jeremy Chardy in the bottom quarter. Dominic Thiem, Andrey Rublev and Denis Shapovalov are the other top seeds, hoping to win the title and grab 250 ATP points.
The US Open champion Dominic Thiem is the top seed, facing the Australian Open semi-finalist Aslan Karatsev in his first match. The 2019 winner Roberto Bautista Agut faces Reilly Opelka and Alexander Bublik en route to a potential Thiem clash.
The defending champion Andrey Rublev seeks the Rotterdam title before heading to Doha, where he plays Stan Wawrinka and Marton Fucsovics in the second quarter. Denis Shapovalov, David Goffin, Filip Krajinovic, Taylor Fritz, and Lorenzo Sonego are in the third quarter. Roger Federer will start the season against Daniel Evans or Jeremy Chardy in the second round.
The Rotterdam semi-finalist Borna Coric or John Millman are Roger's potential quarter-final opponents. The Swiss has an excellent chance to score a couple of wins and earn momentum after the most extended break of his career.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?mandoist09-11-2026
- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026
- Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
