From Rotterdam To Doha: Four Tournaments Open The Post-Australian Open Week

The tennis season resumes at full speed with four simultaneous tournaments: the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam (ATP 500), the Dallas Open (ATP 500), the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires (ATP 250) and the Qatar Open in Doha (WTA 1000), the first Premier tournament of the women's season.

In Rotterdam, the absence of Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev — both withdrawn after the Australian Open — opens the field to Alex de Minaur, the top seed, followed by Felix Auger-Aliassime, Alexander Bublik and Daniil Medvedev. On the other side of the Atlantic, the Dallas Open is an all-American showcase: Taylor Fritz leads the draw ahead of Ben Shelton, with Tommy Paul, Learner Tien and Frances Tiafoe rounding out a star-spangled cast. In Buenos Aires, the spotlight is on Joao Fonseca, the nineteen-year-old Brazilian returning to defend the title he won in 2025 as the third seed, behind Francisco Cerundolo and Luciano Darderi. Also in the draw is Matteo Berrettini, ready to relaunch his season on the South American clay.

The main attraction of the week, however, is Doha, where the first WTA 1000 of the year brings together the best in women's tennis. Iga Swiatek, a three-time champion in Qatar, is the top seed. In her half of the draw is also the defending champion Amanda Anisimova, seeded third. The bottom half is dominated by the Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina, the second seed, with Coco Gauff seeded fourth and a potential quarterfinal clash between Rybakina and Mirra Andreeva, the fifth seed.

After the post-Melbourne break, the tour is back at full speed. Four continents, four different stories: indoors in Rotterdam and Dallas, clay in Buenos Aires, and the debut of the WTA 1000 season in Doha.
