–

A final round of qualifying (a rare third round) was necessary for Canadians Leylah Fernandez and Rebecca Marino to make the main draw in Doha.

Pretty nuts that qualification at a 500 passes through a former No. 1 in Karolina Pliskova. But that’s what awaited Fernandez on Monday.

Marino got the No. 2 seed, Marie Bouzkova.

Marino got through; Fernandez was denied.
