First-round matches will conclude on Day 2 of the Qatar Open 2025, while a few second-round matches will also be contested. Marketa Vondrousova and Elina Svitolina's first-round tussle is one of the must-see matches of the day. Ons Jabeur has been a trailblazer for women's tennis in the Arab world. She will also be in action on Monday and will face McCartney Kessler.
Paula Badosa, Daria Kasatkina, and Jelena Ostapenko are some of the other notable names who will also play their first-round matches on the second day. The top eight seeds received a bye into the second round, and two of them will take to the court on Monday.
Three-time defending champion and second seed Iga Swiatek will begin her title defense against familiar rival Maria Sakkari. A fourth consecutive title at the WTA 1000 would further cement her status as a great of the sport, though that's still a few rounds away.
Eighth seed Emma Navarro will face former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez in the second round. With another action-packed day lined up, here's a look at the schedule for Day 2 of the Qatar Open:
