Khachanov, ranked second in the tournament and seventeenth globally, started his journey in the Qatar Championship from the second round after being exempted by the organizing committee from playing in the first round, along with the top four seeded players. He secured a victory against Hungarian player Fabian Marozsan 2-0 to advance to the quarterfinals, then proceeded to the semifinals after his Finnish opponent Emil Ruusuvuori withdrew due to injury. Khachanov continued his journey and defeated Australian player Alexei Popyrin 2-0 in the semifinals to advance to the final.
This title marks the sixth for the Russian player in the ATP circuit, including his title in the Paris Masters Championship in 2018. He also reached the semifinals of the US Open 2022 and the semifinals of the Australian Open 2023.
On the other hand, the young Czech player Jakub Měnšík became the youngest player to reach the final match of the Qatar Championship after defeating veteran French player Gaël Monfils (27 years old), the winner of the championship in 2018, with a score of 2-1 yesterday.
Měnšík started his journey strongly from the first round, securing a victory against Spanish player Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 2-0, then defeated the veteran British player Andy Murray, the winner of the Qatar Championship in 2008 and 2009, with a score of 2-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. He continued his impressive performance by defeating Russian player Andrey Rublev, ranked first and fifth globally, and the winner of the Qatar Championship 2020, with a score of 2-0, becoming the youngest player to defeat one of the top five ranked players globally since Carlos Alcaraz defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the 2021 US Open Championship.

The Polish world number one player, Iga Świątek, expressed her happiness at winning her third consecutive title at the Doha Championship, confirming that this edition was not easy for her, especially after her unexpected exit from the Australian Open Tennis Championship.
The player said, "I am extremely happy because I continued to work hard and maintained my focus on the positive aspects, which is the reason behind my achievement of this result and this accomplishment. I hope to be able to benefit from it in the upcoming tournaments."
Regarding the reasons for her success in the Doha Championship, Świątek said that there is no specific reason for her success in the city of Doha, but perhaps it is due to the efforts she made in preparation for this championship.
Świątek added that she benefited from the medical timeout taken by her opponent Rybakina in the first set, as it helped her to catch her breath, regain her composure, and search for solutions to the challenges she faced during the early sets.
She continued, "That break gave me more time to talk to my coaches and to slightly adjust my game plan during the match, which helped me reduce the percentage of errors I was committing."
Regarding the role of the coaching staff in her recent significant achievements, the player expressed her happiness with her collaboration with her current coach over the past two years. The change has been very positive as she benefits from his experience in difficult situations, especially in finals like the one she played against Rybakina.
