Coco Gauff is out of the Qatar Open.

Coco Gauff barely broke a sweat before Katerina Siniakova claimed a convincing victory in two sets (6-2, 6-4), thereby eliminating the 2nd-seeded Gauff from the tournament after a disappointing performance. Katerina Siniakova deserves recognition, having started 2024 strong, and with yesterday's win, she has now secured victories in her last 6 matches.

Ons Jabeur is also out of the tournament in Doha, in a match where Jabeur couldn't get her game to work, and Katerina Siniakova rightfully claimed a 6-3, 6-2 victory. Jabeur hasn't found her stride in 2024; she also exited the Australian Open after the second round. It's back to the training courts to find another level; otherwise, she'll face a long season.

Naomi Osaka faced Petra Martic in a highly entertaining and well-played match, but Osaka showcased her talent and class in the end, securing a victory in two sets, 6-3, 7-6. Her next challenge will be Ukrainian player Tsurenko.
