This is such an an amazing even. These players are not only trying to move up the ranks but also represent for their countries. This will be a fun event!

Players adjust to conditions in Doha​

Italian world number eight Jasmine Paolini is also focused on adapting quickly to the conditions in Doha. “Here it’s important to adapt to the court and to the ball because they’re pretty heavy and slow,” Paolini said.

“You need to play deep in the court and stay aggressive. I’m working on that in practice and I hope it carries into the matches.”

Can't wait for this! Make your picks and lets get some winners!

I bet Swiatek not to win -310

It’s a lock

This event is very different that the rest, be on the lookout of for a lot of upsets. There is a lot of personal strife going on with Swiatek. She has not been herself on a personal level the last 2 months.

As far as a winner, maybe Rybakina or Gauff

Yes, in the tennis world, we often give players Nicknames, sorry about the!

No problema.

Emma is WTA 25th. Her opponent is ranked 80th. I hope that means she's a bit better but one never knows with these ladies in tennis.

Hopefully your angle bears out.

Animisova a bad loss to an old lady

She has had some severe emotional problems the last year. I feel for her.
