BeIN Sports is set to showcase the world’s top female tennis players once again with live coverage of the WTA 1000 Qatar TotalEnergies Open, which will air from Doha’s Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex.
Scheduled from February 11 to 17, beIN will air approximately seven-and-a-half hours of live coverage daily, featuring Arabic commentary and studio analysis on beIN Sports 7. Additionally, live tournament coverage with English commentary will be available on beIN Sports 2 ENGLISH. Fans can also enjoy daily Arabic programming, including 26-minute highlight episodes, daily mini-matches, and a trio of five-minute fillers.
The coverage kicks off this Sunday, February 11, with an hour-long preview show starting at 14:30 MECCA, followed by on-court action from 15:30 until 22:00 MECCA. Subsequent days will see live coverage in Arabic and English from 15:00 MECCA until 22:00 MECCA, with coverage of Friday’s singles semi-finals and doubles final starting slightly later at 16:30 MECCA. Saturday’s singles final coverage begins at 17:30 MECCA.
Hosted by Areej Sleem, the beIN journalist and the first female Arab presenter to cover all four Grand Slam tournaments, the broadcaster’s coverage will feature esteemed guest commentators, including former tennis professionals such as Tunisia’s second-highest-ranked female player of all time, Selima Sfar, Kuwait’s Adel Al Shatti, Saudi Arabia’s Fahad Al Saad, and Morocco’s Anass Lamrani.
BeIN’s comprehensive coverage of this elite women’s tournament, aired across MENA for 20 years, underscores beIN’s commitment to its beINSPIRED initiative, celebrating the value of all sports, especially women’s sports, in the international sports ecosystem.
This year’s WTA 1000 Qatar TotalEnergies Open will feature 11 Grand Slam winners, including two-time defending champion and World No. 1 Iga Swiatek, as well as last month’s Australian Open winner Aryna Sabalenka, who triumphed in Doha in 2020. Arab No. 1 Ons Jabeur, a two-time quarterfinalist in Doha, will also compete, returning to a tournament where she has previously enjoyed strong support from fans.
