Fans recently reacted to pictures from the star-studded 2024 Qatar Open Players Party, which included appearances from players like Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka, Leylah Fernandez, and many more.
Following a disappointing Australian Open 2024 campaign, Swiatek will be aiming to defend her title at the Qatar Open this year. The World No. 1 successfully defended her Qatar title in 2023, when she defeated Jessica Pegula 6-3, 6-0 in the final.
Coco Gauff will also be in action at the event. The American had an impressive start to the season, kicking off the year with a title win at the ASB Classic where she defeated Elina Svitolina 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-3 in the final. Gauff then advanced to the semifinals at the Australian Open, where she faced eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka, who defeated her 7-6 (7-2), 6-4.

The duo had won the doubles title in 2022 as well.
