Carlos Alcaraz and Alex de Minaur are the top seeds at the ATP 500 event in Doha. World no. 1 Jannik Sinner should have led the field. However, the Italian accepted WADA’s three-month ban and withdrew from the packed ATP 500 tournament.
Novak Djokovic returns to Doha for the first time since 2019, seeking his third title at this event. The legend will also seek his 100th ATP title, although his path toward the trophy is anything but easy, with tough rivals right from the start.
Grigor Dimitrov, Jack Draper, Andrey Rublov, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas will also seek a deep run and 500 ATP points.

Alcaraz will seek his second title of the season after conquering Rotterdam last week. The Spaniard kicks off the action against the veteran, Marin Cilic, who seeks to restore his old level following knee issues.
If he passes the Croat, world no. 3 will likely face Zhizhen Zhang, Grigor Dimitrov or Jiri Lehecka en route to the semi-final. The 3rd seed Djokovic plays against Matteo Berrettini in a blockbuster R1 clash four years after their Wimbledon final.
