On Saturday, it's time for the qualifiers at the WTA event in Doha. Hoping to make it through to what is a big event, currently categorized as a WTA 1000 tournament, will be Varvara Gracheva, who hasn't exactly made the best start to 2026, winning only two out of five matches. The French competitor did win her first qualifier in Doha in straight sets, which should mean that she approaches this match feeling quite confident. However, she now has a tougher tasks, and tough task haven't exaclty been her speciality in recent times.
For the Italian Cocciaretto, this looks like a nice chance to move towards the main draw. Ranked at 51 in the world, the Italian is the higher-ranked player, while she's also shown much better early-season form than her opponent, playing more matches and curcially, winning more matches.

Our Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Varvara Gracheva Prediction
This looks like a good opportunity for Elisabetta Cocciaretto, perhaps even more so than the early odds suggest. For my money, the Italian is more than worthy of being a strong favorite against Varvara Gracheva.
Gracheva did win in straight sets during her first qualifying match, but she has a poor recent record against higher-ranked players, losing to the likes of Sramkova in Hobart. That defeat tells me that she doesn't have what it takes to get the better of Cocciaretto, who has made a very pleasing start to 2026.
