Tuesday’s Set Points, WTA Doha: Buckets of rain, Pavlyuchenkova the lone winner of the day

Tuesday’s order of play at the Qatar Total Open in Doha was decimated by rain… rain again! The first batch of matches suffered two rain delays; seven hours after play got underway, the first and only winner of the day was Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. In a replica scoreline of their last meeting on tour in Moscow last…

Monday’s Set Points, WTA Doha: Rain in the desert, Stosur finally sees off Sevastova

2017 is continuing where 2016 left off from with rain managing to disrupt the tennis, even in the desert! The first main draw match of the 2017 Qatar Total Open was twice halted for the rain but eventually finished just before midnight in Doha. Sam Stosur found her serve and forehand, and held her nerve in…

WTA Qatar Total Open Doha 2017: Main Draw Preview

After a weekend of Fed Cup, the WTA tour returns next week in Doha at the Qatar Total Open. Doha and Dubai switch their tournament statuses each year and in 2017, Doha is the lesser-Premier tournament with a 28-player draw. Still, it’s a cracking draw with the original main draw cut-off at #30 and five of…

Match Points, 27th of February, 2016: Highlights of the Qatar Total Open in Doha

The Dubai-Doha swing has been eventful to say the least… while we actually saw seeds progress to the latter rounds of Doha and one of them actually go on to win it, there were plenty of upsets again. Indian Wells should be an interesting one to see if some of the slumping members of the top ten can…

WTA Doha Final Preview: Carla Suárez Navarro v Jelena Ostapenko

It’s been another week where the seeds have been falling, left, right and centre although unlike Dubai, one of them has managed to avoid the apple cart of upsets to reach the final. Step forward the number eight seed, Carla Suárez Navarro who produced an upset of her own to take out Agnieszka Radwanska in the…

WTA Doha, Semi-Final Preview: Andrea Petkovic v Jelena Ostapenko

  An all-unseeded semi-final in Doha will feature the resurgent, Andrea Petkovic up against yet another talented 18-year-old in Jelena Ostapenko. The teens have been making their presence felt in the first two months of 2016 with the likes of Belinda Bencic and Daria Kasatkina already impressing at the Premier tournaments. Ostapenko had been on…

WTA Doha: Hooray for the hotshots, Radwanska-Vinci was fabulous!

  Absolutely glorious… the final match of the day in Doha saw Agnieszka Radwanska come from a set down to beat Roberta Vinci, 3-6 6-2 6-3. It was a wonderful, wonderful match with some SENSATIONAL shotmaking and over 100 (!) net approaches between the pair.  Here’s a collection of Twitter highlights from one of, if not, the best match of the…

WTA Doha, Quarter-Final Preview: Garbiñe Muguruza v Andrea Petkovic

Garbiñe Muguruza avoided the recent runaway train of “upset” seeds to book her spot in the quarter-finals of Doha where she will play Andrea Petkovic. The Dubai-Doha Middle East swing has been unpredictable to say the least; the recurring theme of surprise results continued on Wednesday with the loss of Petra Kvitova, Caroline Wozniacki and Eugenie Bouchard…

Doha 2016 Day 3, Set Points: Another wacky WTA day, seven seeds out

It was yet another eventful day on the WTA tour. Top seeds departed Doha but what’s new? I’m really struggling with Doha as I expected, thought, HOPED that the second round matches would be played over two days but then realised it’s a Saturday final… It all feels so rushed. So much happened today so…

WTA Doha 2nd Round Previews: Wozniacki v Gavrilova, Bouchard v Allertova

All 16 second round matches will be played in Doha on Tuesday… it’s going to be a feast of WTA action! I’m currently crying at the prospect of having to work through it all but on a positive note, Lucie’s match is later, third on, so I *should* get home in time to watch. In…
