Doha Live
Well, the new season of ATP Tennis starts up and one of our first matches is in Doha, Qatar. This event is called the Qatar ExxonMobil Open and features a great prize purse for an ATP event, $1,024,000. This event will have a draw of 32 for the singles and 16 for the doubles and is played on hard courts starting on January 4th, 2010. The event goes for six days and ends on Saturday, January 9th, 2010. You can watch this event live with your membership.

So, last time this event came around it was Andy Murray who took home first place for the singles category and then, in this ATP 250 event, it was the team of Rafael Nadal and Marc Lopez taking home the trophy for the doubles. This year, Andy Murray doesn't return to defend his title, but Roger Federer is the top seed hoping to claim the ATP World Champion Title for 2010. This tournament is a great start to do it, and he's won this tournament before, back in 2005 when he defeated Ivan Ljubicic and in 2006 against Gael Monfils.
The second seed will be Rafael Nadal who will be coming to Doha for the third time, the previous two times exiting the tournament in the quarter-final stage. Nikolay Davydenko will be the third seed, and he will be appearing in Doha for the seventh time, reaching the semis twice, once recently in 2008 where he lost to Andy Murray. Other seeds include Mikhail Youzhny, Viktor Troicki, Albert Montanes and Ivo Karlovic.
