Qatar Open final: Karolina Muchova beats teenager Victoria Mboko

Despite falling to defeat, Mboko, who started the 2025 season ranked outside the top 300, will jump inside the top 10 as she has the most match wins on the women’s tour this season.

Acknowledging it was “not the outcome I wanted”, she added: “There are so many positives to take away.”

The next WTA 1,000 event gets under way in Doha on Sunday, but without Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, the world’s top two players.

Sabalenka, who has been out of action since losing last month’s Australian Open final to Elena Rybakina, said she was “not feeling 100%” while Swiatek, a quarter-finalist in Doha, pointed to a “change of schedule”.
