Meanwhile, the three who were given main draw wild cards are Morrocan Reda Al Amrani, Egyptian Shrief Sabri and Ukranian Sergei Bubka.

Al Amrani and Sabri are taking part in the tournament according to a deal between QTF and the Egyptian and Morrocan tennis federation, that will allow Qatari players to take part in the international tennis tournaments held at both countries.

23-years-old Bubka is the son of pole vault legend Sergei Bubka who also holds the role of vice-president of IAAF, and is currently ranked at no 321 in the ATP rankings.

“Qatari players will surely benefit from taking part in the qualifying stage of a big tournament like Qatar ExxonMobil Open”, said QTF President and head of the organizing committee Mr. Nasser Al Khelaifi.
