The Doha tournament was in full swing, and in the first round that had already ended, including Acre, Leheka, Draper and others, they all passed smoothly.
As one of only two Middle East Tour events of the year (the other being back-to-back Dubai tournaments) and a lot of prize money, the Doha Open has always had a good line-up even if it was only a 250 event before, not to mention that the tournament has been upgraded to ATP 500 level this year. What do you remember about the champions of the last decade of the event?
2024 Khachanov
2023 Medvedev
The fact that the champions of the past two years did not want to meet in the first round of this year is enough to see the high gold content of the participants in the event.
Khachanov's final win over Czech post-graduate Mensik was last year's victory, while May's victory against British veteran Murray was one of the few highlights of the former world number one to reach the final at the end of his career.
2022 Bautista Agut
2021 Bashilashvili
These two finals were against these two opponents, and coincidentally, they each won one. However, this year, the Georgian beard had a big opinion about the fact that the organizing committee did not give him a wild card, and bluntly said that he would not participate in the event again in the future.
2020 Rublev
The Russians have always been good performers in this event, with all three of them winning here, with Rublev being the first. After not playing a stellar performance for a long time, he is in dire need of a championship to prove that he is worthy of the top 10 position in the world.
2019 Bautista Agut
Agut has performed well in this competition, winning two titles and one runner-up in his history. It was his first title, and he faced Czech Berdych in the final in three sets.
2018 Monfils
France's opponent in the final that year was Rublev, and he still had slightly longer braided hair than he has now. After winning, he also showed a happy smile, after all, he is at the end of his career, and it is rare to win the championship.
2017 Novak Djokovic
2016 Novak Djokovic
The finals in recent years have been dominated by giants! Djokovic has defeated Nadal and Murray in succession for two years, and the gold content is self-evident.
2015 Ferrer
Both of the finalists were strong runners in the giant era, with Spain's stable man and Czech bird's brother putting on a best supporting actor showdown, which was won by Ferrer.
This year, there are a number of former tournament champions in the competition, will the champions be selected from among them? How will new forces such as Acre perform? Stay tuned!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
