Qatar Open: Swiatek Wins, Jabeur Cruises And Svitolina Outlasts Vondrousova In Doha
Former World No: Former World No.1 Iga Swiatek, the second seed, kept alive her chances of winning a fourth title in the Qatar Open, beating Maria Sakkari of Greece in straight sets in the second round of the event WTA Tour event here on Monday. Swiatek, ranked No.2 in the latest WTA Rankings, defeated Sakkari 6-3,6-2 in a Round of 32 clash of the hard court event.
Poland's Swiatek, who got a bye in the first round here, has not won a title in eight months, since claiming her fourth title at Roland Garros in five years -- the fifth tournament win in less than five months. That fabulous run began in Doha, where Swiatek became the first to win a WTA event for three consecutive years since Serena Williams owned Miami from 2013-15.
Swiatek, who lost to eventual winner Madison Keys in the 2025 Australian Open in Melbourne last month, is looking to become only the second woman this century to win the same tournament four consecutive times, after Caroline Wozniacki in New Haven, from 2008-2011.
