The 32-year-old Swabian defeated the world number 23. Elena Rybakina from Kazakhstan in her first round duel 7: 6 (9: 7), 7: 6 (7: 5). Most recently, Siegemund failed at the Australian Open and in Adelaide on their opening hurdles.

Siegemund had fought his way into the main draw in Doha through the qualification and will now face the former world number one Victoria Azarenka from Belarus. The three-time Grand Slam winner Angelique Kerber had previously won her first duel. The 33-year-old now meets the Estonian Anett Kontaveit.
