The main draw began on Sunday in Doha. And the lineup is already lit even with the top eight seeds getting byes.

In addition to Canadian Leylah Fernandez v qualifier Greet Minnen, there was also Diana Shnaider v qualifier Alycia Parks, which had potential and, indeed, ended up in an upset.

Unseeded Anisimova vs unseeded Azarenka also had a lot going for it, as did Linz champion Ekaterina Alexandrova vs. wild card (again!) Emma Raducanu. Neither quite delivered, though.
