Ahead of the main draw action, the 2026 Qatar TotalEnergies Open welcomed players to its official party. Scroll through Jimmie48’s photos for an exclusive look inside this Doha gathering of WTA stars. Some players opted for everyday casual with jeans and sneakers, while others went full glam—as one Reddit commenter joked, “I love that every players party seems like they’re all going to different functions.”
Defending champion Amanda Anisimova looked radiant, wearing her luscious waves loose and styling a white mini skirt with a slightly sheer black turtleneck and an oversized blazer.
Excited to play her first tournament since September 2025, Zheng Qinwen showed off her toned legs in a chic little black dress featuring side cutouts accented with subtle sparkly details, paired with black heeled sandals.
Iga Swaitek, a three-time Doha champion between 2022 and 2024, opted for understated elegance in a black ankle-length strappy dress and conservative pointed-toe shoes with a short heel.
Newly crowned Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina kept things casual in jeans and sneakers.
By contrast, Coco Gauff opted for a bold, figure-hugging red midi dress, paired with gold high-heeled strappy sandals.
Leylah Fernandez styled her jeans with a purple corset top.
True to her age, 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva kept things simple in loose-fitting jeans, a basic top and a beige jacket, with minimal makeup enhancing her natural features.
Freshly back in the Top 10 following her Australian Open semifinal run, Elina Svitolina appeared calm and content at the party, dressed in a black crop top, comfortable black pants, and a modest beige button-up pullover.
Following a year away from the tour due to an ankle injury between September 2024 and September 2025, Karolina Pliskova reached the third round of a Grand Slam at the recent Australian Open and is now back in Doha, where she won the title in 2017. At the players’ party, the former world No. 1 looked elegant in a black ankle-length skirt paired with a ruffled polkadot blouse.
Somewhat in the style of Pliskova, Jasmine Paolini opted for a sheer beige blouse paired with black bottoms.
Katerina Siniakova channeled business-professional vibes in a long-sleeved black dress that reached her knees, paired with pointed shoes, while her edgy red hair highlights seemed to be coordinated with her red purse.
Victoria Mboko turned heads in a pure white turtleneck kaftan dress, subtly highlighting her Rolex watch, her new sponsor.
The main draw at the Qatar TotalEnergies Open kicks off on Sunday. The tournament’s top seed is Swiatek.
