Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova, Iga Swiatek and several other high-profile WTA stars turned up for the 2026 Qatar Open’s players’ party sporting glamorous looks. The event, where main draw action is set to begin on Sunday, February 8, marks the first WTA 1000 tournament of the year.
Gauff, Anisimova, Swiatek and the others attended the party on Saturday. Here, Gauff, a two-time singles Major champion and the current World No. 5, wore a long, sleeveless red gown, a pair of stilettos and accessorized her look with a necklace, bracelets on her right wrist and a shiny watch on her left wrist. The 21-year-old also carried a compact, black handbag.
Anisimova, the reigning champion in Doha and the World No. 4, sported a semi-casual look, as she paired a black top and a short, white skirt with a black coat.
Iga Swiatek, the World No. 2, Elena Rybakina, the newly-crowned Australian Open champion, Zheng Qinwen and Mirra Andreeva also graced the party with their presence. While Swiatek, Rybakina and Zheng chose black for the occasion, Andreeva went with a more colorful look.
Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova To Start Qatar Open 2026 Campaigns In Second Round
Gauff is the fourth seed in Doha this year and she has received a first-round bye, meaning she will begin her campaign directly in the second round against the winner of the first-round match between McCartney Kessler and Elsa Jacquemot.
Gauff is a former two-time quarterfinalist in Doha, having reached the last eight of the WTA 1000 event in 2022 and 2023. The former No. 2 will be playing doubles at the tournament as well, partnering 19-year-old Victoria Mboko of Canada.
Meanwhile, reigning champion Anisimova is also slated to kickstart her title defense at the 2026 Qatar Open in the second round. The third seed will square off against either Solana Sierra or Karolina Pliskova. Swiatek is the top seed at the event in the absence of reigning World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who withdrew from the tournament citing a schedule change.
