–

Each match on the stadium court Monday in Doha features a Grand Slam champion.

In addition to world No. 1 Iga Swiatek, who had a tough opener on paper (if not in practice), Caroline Garcia and Naomi Osaka met again.

As for Leylah Fernandez, who didn’t play last week in Abu Dhabi, had a tough opener in No. 12 seed Liudmila Samsonova. And then she was back for doubles. And won both.

For Karolina Pliskova, it was a quick turnaround after winning her first Tour title since 2020. She’s unseeded, and so has to play at the latest Monday – less than 24 hours after winning her title in Romania. She began slowly, but pulled it out.
