Updated as of February 14. The Qatar Open 2026 in Doha is a headline WTA 1000 event on the Middle East Swing. This Tournament Centre of the Qatar Total Energies Open tracks every result day by day, with scores updated regularly as the draw tightens.
What you’ll find here all week
Every women’s singles score from February 6–14, updated round by round from the first matches to the final — plus the schedule, draw context, and clear “who plays whom” pathways.
By the end of the week, the scorelines in Doha usually make it clear who’s ready to carry form into the next stop.
Sabalenka will not take part in the tournament, which means we have both Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina at opposite ends as the top players in this tournament.

Rybakina Quarter
This quarter was supposed to be chaos — star names everywhere, zero room to breathe, and exactly the kind of section where reputations get tested fast.
