The quarterfinal picture at the Qatar TotalEnergies Open is taking shape, with seven players already through to the last eight. The lineup features established contenders, a breakout teenager, and a lucky loser making the most of her opportunity, setting the stage for a compelling finish in Doha.
At the top of the draw, No. 1 seed Iga Swiatek was pushed off her usual rhythm early by Daria Kasatkina. After building a late lead in the opening set, the Pole watched Kasatkina claw her way back to steal it.
