2022 ATP Doha Winner Odds Favor Top-Ranked Players as Favorites

One of this week’s ATP tournaments is the 2022 Qatar ExxonMobil Open with some great players taking part in it. Like world No12 Denis Shapovalov or world No17 Roberto Bautista-Agut. The defending champion, Nikoloz Basilashvili defeated the Spanish player in last year’s final. Now they can meet again there but the 2022 ATP Doha winner odds also mention former Grand Slam champions in the favorites. 

This will be the 30th edition of the ATP 250 tournament in Qatar, held at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex in Doha. The event is loved by the players as they selected it as the ATP 250 tournament of the year on four occasions. So it’s not surprising that we can find the biggest players in its former champions. From Novak Djokovic to Rafael Nadal who won the event five times with getting four doubles and one singles victory. Last year Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili won the tournament with a superb performance. He defeated Roger Federer in the quarter-finals and Roberto Bautista Agut in the final to win his fourth ATP singles title. Basilashvili will try to defend his title this year but it won’t be an easy job in this strong field. 

Shapovalov Leads In 2022 ATP Doha Winner Odds

Denis Shapovalov is the top seed of this year’s tournament, online sportsbooks in Canada expect his victory too. They offer the world No12 the odds of 4.33 to get his second ATP singles title.

He got to the semi-final of last year’s Wimbledon where Djokovic finally stopped him. He reached the quarter-final of 2022 Australian Open and won the ATP Cup as a member of the Canadian team. The 22-year-old can continue his great run in Qatar now on his second appearance at the event. 

Last year’s finalist, Roberto Bautista Agut can be one of his main rivals for the trophy. He also won here in 2019 making the Qatar Open one of his strongest tournaments. Bautista Agut can also take revenge on Shapovalov if they meet again. As the Canadian knocked him out in last year’s Wimbledon. While the Spanish player was beaten by another Canadian, Felix Auger-Aliassime in the ATP Cup final this January. In the Australian Open, Bautista Agut got to the third round but can go further here.

First, though he needs to beat the winner of the Taro Daniel vs Andy Murray match where the 3-time Grand Slam winner British is the favorite.
