Roberto Bautista Agut delivered the upset of this young season by defeating Novak Djokovic in an intriguing semifinal clash that was concluded in two hours and 37 minutes. Defeating the world #1 Novak Djokovic on current form is a mammoth task, let alone fighting back from a set and break deficit, 3-6 7-6 6-4.

Returning to the action after a six-month break, Tomas Berdych has made a bright start to the new season by winning some tough matches against the likes of Philipp Kohlschreiber, Fernando Verdasco, and Marco Cecchinato. In his previous five appearances at ATP Doha, Tomas Berdych made the final once but ended up losing in straight sets to a Spanish opponent — David Ferrer in 2015. Reversing the result against the Spaniard on Saturday will make Berdych the oldest champion in the history of ATP Doha.
