Recent Doha Champions
2025 — Andrey Rublev
2024 — Karen Khachanov
2023 — Daniil Medvedev
2022 — Roberto Bautista Agut
2021 — Nikoloz Basilashvili
This recent champion list tells a consistent story.
Doha rewards players with repeatable fundamentals, strong return positioning, and the patience to grind through extended baseline exchanges. One-dimensional power rarely survives the week.
Betting Context: What Doha Actually Rewards
Doha is not a blind underdog tournament, and it is not a pure serve-and-smash environment either.
Across the 2025 Qatar ExxonMobil Open, favorites won at a high rate, but matches were often tighter than final scorelines suggested.
Break chances were limited, margins were thin, and outcomes frequently turned on execution in a handful of key games.
2025 Doha Betting Snapshot
- Favorites won 77.4% of matches
- Blindly backing favorites produced a +5.1% ROI
- Blindly backing underdogs returned −36.8% ROI
- 40% of matches featured at least one tiebreak
- 36.7% went to three sets
- Median total games landed at 21.5
The takeaway is clear. Doha punishes indiscriminate dog hunting, but it also creates value in match totals markets and selective plus-money spots where pricing underestimates players who return well and defend under pressure.
