DOHA, Qatar — Amanda Anisimova has won the Qatar Open for her third career title and first since 2022. Anisimova beat former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko 6-4, 6-3 in a final disrupted twice by showers on Saturday. After the second rain delay, Anisimova won the last three games to become the first American to win the Doha title since Monica Seles in 2002. Ranked 41st, Anisimova is close to a top 20 debut. The 37th-ranked Ostapenko, from Lativa, appeared in her 17th final and missed out on her ninth career singles title.
