History of WTA Qatar Open
The Qatar Ladies Open WTA, currently sponsored by TotalEnergies and called the Qatar TotalEnergies Open, is a women's tennis tournament held in Doha, Qatar. Held since 2001, this WTA Tour event was a Tier I-tournament in 2008, and was played on outdoor hardcourts. After a two-year break the tournament returned in 2011 and is held at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex.
The first tournament was held in 2001 as Qatar Total FinaElf Open for the prize money of $170,000, as a Tier III tournament. In 2004, the tournament got Tier II category because of an increase in prize money to $585,000, and in 2007 again to $600,000. For the 2008 season, which was the last season it was held, the tournament became Tier I for the prize money of $2,500,000. The event then took a two-year break due to the venue hosting the WTA Tour Championship, thus not being played in 2009 or 2010. The tournament returned in 2011 as a Premier Event with the prize money of $721,000 and a 32-competitor singles draw. The tournament received Premier 5 status from 2012 to 2014, but in the 2015 WTA Season the tournament was back to a Premier event. It then switched back to being a Premier 5 tournament in 2016, when the Dubai Tennis Championships was downgraded to Premier. Now, the two tournaments alternate between Premier 5 and Premier status every year.
The event is held at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex which currently has a capacity of 6,911. It was originally much smaller but had a makeover in 2008. Its prize money as of 2016 was $2,517,250.
In the past Petra Kvitova and Victoria Azarenka won the tournament twice.
History of ATP Qatar Open
The Qatar Open ATP, currently known as the Qatar ExxonMobil Open for sponsorship reasons, is a professional tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts. It is currently part of the ATP Tour 250 series of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour. It is held annually in January at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex in Doha, Qatar, since 1993. From 2025, this tournament will be upgraded to an ATP 500 level event.
This event is played one week later than the women's Qatar Open.
Roger Federer has the record of most wins for the tournament with 3 titles. Novak Djokovic won it twice.
In the women's tournament, it's been a very nice story for the Czech 2-time Wimbledon champion. After losing the final last year, Petra Kvitova lifted the trophy at the Qatar Open in Doha in 2021. She was dominant during the tournament and defeated also Garbine Muguruza in the final to lift her first trophy of the 2021 season. In men's tournament, we saw a great surprise. Roger Federer returned onto tennis courts after more than 13 months, but he was stopped by Nikoloz Basilashvili who previously had a 9-match losing streak which as stopped in Antalya but later followed with 5-match losing streak without winning a single set. However, Nikoloz Basilashvili showed his great qualities in Doha when he marched towards the title after defeating Roberto Bautista Agut in the final.
