The WTA Doha Qatar Open marks the start of the WTA 1000 tournment season. Next to the four Grand Slam events, these are the biggest stops on the women's tennis tour. They tend to bring out the best to play in them and this event is no exception.
The top five players and nine of the top 10 in the WTA rankings are in the field. They'll be seeking to slow down the machine that is Iga Swiatek. The world No. 2 from Poland has won the WTA Doha Qatar Open in each of the past three years.
