A very tough first round for Emma Raducanu at the WTA Doha 2025. The British player had to face a Ekaterina Alexandrova in great form following a brutal week with the victory at the WTA Linz tournament. The Russian won the match 6-3 7-5, although Raducanu made it difficult for her in both sets. From this clash emerged the opponent for Aryna Sabalenka, and although the Belarusian will be the top favorite, she has already experienced defeat at the hands of Alexandrova up to three times. The most recent being in the grass final at Hertogenbosch in 2022 (7-5 6-0).
