The Field: Seeded Players
The 2026 draw is one of the deepest in recent memory, featuring several Top 20 mainstays. While Novak Djokovic and Felix Auger-Aliassime were forced to withdraw due to scheduling and injury, the remaining seeds present a formidable gauntlet for any title hopeful.
- Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) – Rank: 1
- Jannik Sinner (ITA) – Rank: 2
- Alexander Bublik (KAZ) – Rank: 10
- Daniil Medvedev (—) – Rank: 11
- Andrey Rublev (—) – Rank: 15

Tournament Outlook
The fast outdoor hard courts in Doha traditionally favor aggressive baseliners and big servers. Andrey Rublev, who defeated Jack Draper in a thrilling 2025 final, remains a specialist in these conditions. However, all eyes will be on the potential “dream final” between Alcaraz and Sinner, who have dominated the tour over the past year.
Young Czech star Jakub Mensik, who reached the final here in 2024 as a teenager, also returns as a seeded player, looking to prove he belongs among the sport’s heavyweights.
“Doha has always been a special stop on the tour, but as an ATP 500, the intensity has reached a new level,” noted tournament officials during Saturday’s draw ceremony.
With over half a million dollars on the line for the winner, the 2026 Qatar ExxonMobil Open is set to be a pivotal week in the race for the year-end No. 1 ranking.
