Iga Swiatek defeated Elena Rybakina 7-6(8) 6-2 to claim the title in Doha.
The world number one sealed an 18th career title with a straight sets win over Rybakina.
Swiatek had previously struggled to beat the Kazakh and that continued at the start of the opening set with the Pole conceding a double break deficit at 4-1.
However Swiatek was resilient as she won four games in a row to get back on track in the opening set.
Rybakina broke in the eleventh game and had the opportunity to serve for the opening set but couldn’t take the opportunity.
In the tiebreak, Swiatek converted her fourth set point as she claimed a mammoth tiebreak 10-8.
After that Swiatek seized control as she broke twice after saving two break points in the second game.
The Pole held comfortably to claim her maiden title of the 2024 season in what was her first tournament since a third round exit at the Australian Open.
In her-post match speech Swiatek admitted that she is proud of her performance in Doha this week, “You don’t even know hard it was not to think about it,” Swiatek was quoted by France 24 as saying after winning her 13th match in Doha.
“I came here and was pretty stressed because I felt the expectations. I wanted to do everything step by step like I always do. I’m really happy. I’m really proud of myself.”
Swiatek will now look to continue that form in Dubai next week where she takes on either Sloane Stephens or Clara Burel in her opening round match.
