World No. 8 Zheng Qinwen will face former World No. 2 Ons Jabeur in the second round match at the 2025 Qatar Open in Doha on Tuesday, 11 February.

The 2024 Australian Open finalist will be playing her first match since her upset loss against Laura Siegemund in the second round of the Australian Open.

The Chinese No. 1 has been held back by fitness issues since her loss in the final of the WTA Finals in November against Coco Gauff. She has played only two matches in 2025, so she should be fresh and feeling better now.

On the other hand, 30-year-old Ons Jabeur outplayed USA's McCartney 6-2, 6-0 in the first round of the Qatar Open 2025. She has a 9-4 win-loss record in 2025 so far, as she reached the quarterfinal in Abu Dhabi last week, where she lost to the top seed Elena Rybakina in a thrilling three-set match.

Jabeur also reached the Quarterfinal at the Adelaide International last month and at the Australian Open, she suffered a third-round loss against Emma Navarro in three sets, so she has had decent results in 2025 so far.

Zheng Qinwen vs Ons Jabeur prediction

Zheng Qinwen has a 1-2 win-loss record at the Qatar Open. In 2023 she was beaten by Maria Sakkari, whereas last year she was the fifth seed, but she was stunned by an unseeded Leylah Fernandez in the third round.

The Olympic gold medallist did not do too well in the first four WTA 1000 events in 2024, so she will strive to grab as many points as possible and improve her ranking.

World No. 35 Jabeur is making her 12th main draw appearance at the Qatar Open. She played the event for the first time in 2012 and failed to win a match in her first seven appearances in Doha.

She reached the quarterfinal at the Qatar Open 2020 and 2022 but still has a 7-11 win-loss record in Doha. Jabeur has never reached a final at any WTA 1000 event on hard courts in her career yet and her best performance on the hard court was reaching the 2022 US Open final.

Pick: Qinwen to win in three sets
