Bergs Knocking on the Door
Zizou Bergs may not have a tour-level win yet this season, but his performances have been better than the results suggest.
After winning three of four matches at the United Cup, he suffered tight losses at the Australian Open and in Rotterdam, pushing Hubert Hurkacz to four sets in Melbourne and then falling in two close tiebreaks to Hamad Medjedovic in Rotterdam last week.
This will be Bergs’ second consecutive appearance in Doha. On his debut here last year, he impressed by defeating Roberto Bautista Agut in the opening round before running into former champion Daniil Medvedev in the second round, giving him some useful experience of the conditions at this venue.

Injury Setback Tests Perricard
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard began the year on a positive note with back-to-back quarterfinal runs in Brisbane and Adelaide.
However, his momentum stalled when he was forced to retire with an eye injury during his first-round loss in Montpellier, raising concerns about his physical condition and match readiness.
He struggled to regain rhythm in his next outing, exiting in the opening round in Rotterdam, and now arrives in Doha still searching for stability and confidence.
The conditions here can be demanding, and with this marking his debut at the event, he faces a tricky test as he looks to get his season back on track after the injury setback.
