Doha: Director of the Qatar TotalEnergies Open, Saad Al Mohannadi, said the tournament continues to set new standards as one of the high-stakes competitive stops on the WTA Tour calendar, after Saturday's champion, Czech player Karolina Muchova, earned her first title in tournament history.

According to Qatar News Agency, Al Mohannadi expressed pride in the record-breaking success achieved by this year's edition across all fronts. He attributed this success to a collective effort involving the WTA, the organizing committee, and players who delivered high-quality performances throughout the event.

Al Mohannadi noted that the matches were strong and exciting, reflecting the high level of competition at the Qatar tournament. He highlighted the remarkable nature of the final, both in terms of play and atmosphere.

He emphasized that ideal conditions and a fantastic crowd created an electric atmosphere, which contributed to a memorable championship match conclusion.

Al Mohannadi remarked on the expectations surrounding young Canadian Victoria Mboko, who had impressive results, including wins over two top-10 players, Russia's Mira Andreeva and Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina. However, he acknowledged that Czech Karolina Muchova delivered an outstanding performance, proving she deserved the title after a strong comeback from injury.

Al Mohannadi further noted that the Qatar Open has a tradition of crowning new champions, showcasing the strength of the competition and competitive balance.

He added that the organizing committee will continue to maintain high organizational standards, enhancing Qatar's position on the global tennis map and ensuring continued success in future editions.
