Overview

  • Jannik Sinner faces Tomas Machac in his Doha debut on Centre Court not before 17:30 CET, with live coverage on Sky Sport and streaming on Now and Sky Go.
  • Sinner leads Machac 2–0 in ATP meetings, both on hard courts in 2024, while the Czech arrives with momentum after an Adelaide title and a strong start to the season.
  • Seeded No. 2, Sinner’s projected path includes Alexei Popyrin in round two, Jakub Mensik in the quarterfinals and Alexander Bublik in the semifinals.
  • Top seed Carlos Alcaraz opens against Arthur Rinderknech on the opposite half, making a Sinner–Alcaraz showdown possible only in the final.
  • Novak Djokovic withdrew from Doha citing strong fatigue, and Sinner says he is focusing on a more solid serve and physical upkeep in the dry evening conditions.
