Ostapenko, Muguruza, Kerber, Azarenka win on Day 1 in Doha

Five Grand Slam champions were in action on the first day of main-draw play at the Qatar Total Open and four of them progressed into the second round.

Playing her first match since the Australian Open final, American world No.13 Jennifer Brady fell to Anett Kontaveit of Estonia in the first round of Doha in just 56 minutes. The 24th-ranked Kontaveit made only nine unforced errors to her opponent’s 25 and never faced a break point.

I really like this black-and-white photo of Brady and Kontaveit taken by Jimmie48 just moments before the match.
