Alex de Minaur advances in Qatar Open, while Australian players excel in WTA and ATP events.

Alex de Minaur has made headlines by advancing to the quarterfinals of the Qatar Open, marking a significant achievement in his 2025 season. His success stands out as a bright spot for Australian tennis, especially following the end of Chris O`Connell`s run in the tournament.

At the Brisbane QTC Tennis International, Queenslanders Kimberly Birrell and Adam Walton celebrated their first titles of the year at the iconic Pat Rafter Arena, which is set to host Australia`s Billie Jean King Cup qualifier in April.

Maya Joint, an emerging talent at just 18 years old, is on the cusp of breaking into the WTA top 100 after a successful week in Cancun, where she and partner Taylah Preston claimed victory. Ellen Perez also made waves by returning to the WTA top 10 doubles ranking after winning a title in Abu Dhabi.

In other notable events, Jiri Lehecka is enjoying a strong 2025 season with an impressive 11-2 record, reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open and preparing to face Carlos Alcaraz in the Qatar ExxonMobil Open quarterfinals. Meanwhile, the doubles team of Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten ended the run of Novak Djokovic and Fernando Verdasco, marking a significant moment in Verdasco`s career.
