What's at stake
This is a Masters 1000 / WTA 1000 event — 1,000 ranking points to each singles winner, mandatory for the top of the rankings, and the second tier of importance after the Slams. A title here can lift a player twenty rungs up the rankings.
The 2026 edition of the Qatar Open has wrapped. The recap, full results and dates for the 2027 edition are below.
The conditions
Hard court is the global default — medium-paced, true-bouncing, and tactically neutral. Form, fitness and serve quality usually decide who goes deep here, more than surface preference.
Hard-court specialists and the very top seeds tend to dominate events of this kind. The week’s pace and bounce will favour those who arrive with rhythm — watch the warm-up events on the same surface for an early read on form.
