The tournament is scheduled to take place from February 12 to 18 and will have a draw of 56 singles players.

Other absentees include Madison Keys due to a shoulder injury, and Petra Kvitova and Belinda Bencic, both on maternity leave. The only player entering with a protected ranking will be the former world No. 1, Osaka.

The tournament will play its 22nd edition and has never had a champion of Arab origin. The only player who reached the final was Tamarine Tanasugarn from Thailand in 2002, but she lost to Monica Seles. This year, Ons Jabeur is sure to be one of the main attractions as an Arab hopeful. Additionally, Swiatek will be aiming for her third consecutive title, which would make her the all-time leading winner in WTA Doha history.
