The ATP Tour is set to resume in February after the conclusion of the Australian Open, with several top players and tournaments highlighted on the upcoming entry lists. Doha, Rotterdam, and Dubai are among the key events that will feature many of the world's top-ranked players as they look to gain momentum and ranking points ahead of the Sunshine Double in March.

Why it matters

The post-Australian Open stretch in February is crucial for players looking to solidify their positions in the ATP rankings. With no Grand Slams or Masters 1000 events, the upcoming tournaments provide an opportunity for players to gain valuable points and positioning before the tour shifts to the high-profile events in Indian Wells and Miami.

The details

Doha is shaping up to be one of the strongest fields of the month, with Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic all currently entered. Rotterdam and Dallas will also feature deep fields, while Montpellier is not expected to have any top-20 players. Several players, including Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, will be looking to defend points from last year's events.
