The Qatar Open, currently sponsored by TotalEnergies and called the Qatar TotalEnergies Open, is a professional tennis WTA 1000 tournament held in Doha, Qatar. Held since 2001, this WTA Tour event was a Tier I-tournament in 2008, and was played on outdoor hardcourts. After a two-year break the tournament returned in 2011 and is held at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex.

History

The first tournament was held in 2001 as Qatar Total FinaElf Open for the prize money of $170,000, as a Tier III tournament.{{cite web | url=http://www.tennislive.net/wta-women/qatar-total-finaelf-open-2001-doha-2001/ | title=2001 Results | access-date=4 April 2016}} In 2004, the tournament got Tier II category because of an increase in prize money to $585,000,{{cite web | url=http://www.tennislive.net/wta-women/qatar-total-finaelf-open-2004-doha-2004/ | title=Doha results 2004 | access-date=4 April 2016}} and in 2007 to $600,000.{{cite web |title=Qatar Total Open - Doha 2007 live score / Tennis WTA - 26.02.2007 - TennisLive.com |url=http://www.tennislive.net/wta-women/qatar-total-open-doha-2007/ |access-date=4 April 2016 |website=www.tennislive.net}} For the 2008 season, which was the last season it was held, the tournament became Tier I for the prize money of $2,500,000.{{cite web | url=http://www.tennislive.net/wta-women/qatar-total-open-doha-2008/ | title=Qatar 2008 results and prize money | access-date=4 April 2016}} The event then took a two-year break due to the venue hosting the WTA Tour Championship, thus not being played in 2009 or 2010. The tournament returned in 2011 as a Premier Event with the prize money of $721,000 and a 32-competitor singles draw (16-pair doubles draw).{{cite web | url=http://www.wtatennis.com/SEWTATour-Archive/Archive/Draws/2011/1003.pdf | title=2011 Qatar Ladies Open information | access-date=4 April 2016}} The tournament received Premier 5 status from 2012 to 2014, but in the 2015 WTA Season the tournament was back to a Premier event. It then switched back to being a Premier 5 tournament in 2016, when the Dubai Tennis Championships was downgraded to Premier. From then, the two tournaments alternated between Premier 5 and Premier (now known as WTA 1000 and WTA 500) status every year until 2024, when both events were held as WTA 1000 events.

The event is held at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex which currently has a capacity of 6,911. It was originally much smaller but had a makeover in 2008.{{cite web | url=http://www.nussli.us/projects/project-details/news/sony-ericsson-championship-doha-2008-832/334.html?tx_ttnewspointer=1&cHash=30f22627b1 | title=Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex rebuild | access-date=4 April 2016}} Its prize money as of 2016 was $2,517,250 and the tournament director is Saad Al Mohannadi.{{cite web | url=http://www.wtatennis.com/tournaments/tournamentId/86/title/doha | title=WTA tournaments 2016 | access-date=4 April 2016}}
