Doha: The Qatar Tennis Federation has confirmed that world No.5 Daniil Medvedev and world No. 8 Andrey Rublev will participate in the highly anticipated 2025 Qatar ExxonMobil Open. Scheduled from February 17 to 22 at the Khalifa International Tennis Complex, the tournament will bring together some of the brightest stars in the world of tennis. 

Returning to Doha for the first edition of the event as an ATP 500 tournament, Medvedev and Rublev are expected to elevate the level of competition, bringing added excitement to this year’s event.

Daniil Medvedev, 28, is no stranger to success in Doha, having claimed the 2023 Qatar ExxonMobil Open title in the ATP 250 category with a commanding straight-sets victory (6-4, 6-4) over Britain’s Andy Murray.

With 20 career titles, including the 2021 US Open, Medvedev has established himself as one of the sport’s finest. Hard courts have been his forte, with 18 of his singles titles earned on the surface, including two ATP Masters 1000 victories in Cincinnati and Shanghai in 2019.

Despite not adding to his title count this season, Medvedev’s track record in Doha and his dominance on hard courts position him as a strong contender for the 2025 crown.
