Tickets are now on sale for the 2013 Qatar Total Open, which will be held from Feb. 11 to 17 at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex.

With Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and other key players missing the Qatar Exxon Mobil Open earlier this month, the men’s tennis competition may have lacked some star power.

But all top 10-ranked female tennis players have confirmed their participation in next month’s tournament, including world number one and defending champion, Victoria Azarenka and two-time Doha champion, Maria Sharapova.

American stars Serena and Venus Williams will also compete, as will 2011 French Open champion Li Na; 2011 Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova; and 2012 Doha finalist Sam Stosur.

Tickets can be purchased at City Center, Landmark and Lagoona malls, as well as the tennis complex, or online here.

Who’s planning on going?
