Some of the world's best players are making controversial statements in Dubai when asked about Sinner's punishment and his doping case.
Aryna Sabalenka
The WTA Doha 2025 has turned into a massacre for the top seeds. The early tournament days have been filled with surprises, including Aryna Sabalenka's early defeat, which could push her out of the world number one ranking if Iga Swiatek keeps advancing. The quarterfinals leave us with a scenario where seven of the top ten players in the world have already packed their bags: only Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina (who will face each other in the quarterfinals), and Jessica Pegula remain. Will the 'curse' claim their lives before the final?
A tricky WTA 1000 for the Top 10... 😳

The defeat of Aryna Sabalenka at the hands of Ekaterina Alexandrova in the WTA 1000 in Doha was totally unexpected. The world number 1 bids farewell in her debut, causing the surprise of the day, becoming the second top 3 player to be eliminated after Coco Gauff. Sabalenka couldn't complete the comeback against such a tough and tenacious opponent. The number 26 in the rankings thus pulls off a major upset against the Australian Open finalist, who hadn't played any matches since then. A real shock for Aryna and for the tournament, which has lost two of its best players in one fell swoop (3-6 6-3 7-6(5)).

This is how the main draw of the WTA 1000 looks, featuring the best rackets in the women's circuit.
Aryna Sabalenka was so disappointed after losing the final of the 2025 Australian Open that the consequences are still palpable in her. This is evident from her words after falling to Alexandrova in the 2025 WTA 1000 Doha. "It was hard to accept the loss in Melbourne, I think I spent a week unable to stop thinking about the match," said the Belarusian, as reported by tennis.com, who seems to need more time to disconnect and recharge mentally.

The world number one confesses how painful that lost final at the 2025 Australian Open was.
The equality reigning at the top of the WTA ranking currently means that Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek face each competition week knowing they are in an intimate battle for the number 1 spot. The Belarusian holds an advantage of 186 points over Swiatek, who needs one of these scenarios to surpass:
Swiatek will be number 1 in the WTA ranking after the Doha tournament if...
- She wins the title
- Reaches the final and Sabalenka loses in the semifinals or before
- Exits in the semifinals and Sabalenka does not reach the quarterfinals

Aryna Sabalenka wanted to echo a claim that more and more tennis players are making about one of the most important elements in tennis: the balls. For over a season now, we have been talking about how heavy and quickly deteriorating they are in many tournaments, but what happened at WTA 1000 Doha 2025 seems to be a step further. This is evident from the image shared by the Belarusian after her training session, where she presents a ball used for 25 minutes next to a new ball. The difference is incredible.

The world number 1 offers interesting reflections on her greatest lesson, the importance of disconnecting, or how she almost quit tennis.
We analyze what can be drawn from the first Grand Slam of the year and how what happened can influence the coming months in both circuits.
