Now in its 24th edition, the tournament continues to attract a world class field and serves as a key indicator of form following the Australian Open.

Hosted annually in Doha, the event has earned a reputation for fast courts, high intensity matches, and unpredictable outcomes. Defending champion Amanda Anisimova returns to Qatar with the pressure of defending 1000 ranking points after claiming her maiden WTA 1000 title last season.
