28 Feb 2021 11:23PMDOHA: World number one Ashleigh Barty and Sofia Kenin take top billing at the Qatar Open which starts Monday under strict COVID-19 safety protocols and without Simona Halep.

At Melbourne Park Halep, 29, was thwarted by Williams in her bid for a maiden triumph at the year's opening Grand Slam after falling short to Caroline Wozniacki in the 2018 decider, and losing in straight sets to Garbine Muguruza in last year's semi-finals. Jabeur meanwhile said she"had a little bit of time to practice following Melbourne... a small pre-season to kind of get back on the court".

"I've never won here before but it's a big deal for an Arab man or woman to win such a tournament, honestly it's one of my goals."
