309 rackets have totally been strung during this WTA-Tournament held in Doha, the capitol city of Qatar. Already in the past a great event, the Qatar Total Open  2008 were upraded to Tier-1 status with an amazing prize money of 2,5 mio. US-$. The TECNIFIBRE-service once more was managed by Ronald (arriving at Doha on Saturday morning only after stringing at the ATP-Marseille Open 13 till Friday afternoon), Michael and Mark. Quit busy at the beginning of the tournament the number of rackets to be strung dropped down on Wednesday for 3 days as a violent desert storm made action on the court extremely difficult. Right in time for the final on Sunday weather was great again so that the stringers enjoyed some Jet-Ski fun on the Persian Gulf before stringing the rackets for the finalists Maria Sharapova and Vera Zvonareva.

Big progress for this year official stringing service operated by Ronald, Michael and Mark: 385 rackets strung which is equivalent to an increase of 43% compared to the events of the last 2 years!!! Excellent weather conditions in Doha/Qatar at the beginning of the tournament resulted in lots of practise on the courts for the pros starting the new season were the main reason for this amazing developement, some rackets for the ITF Junior tournament played at the same time in the Khalifa International Tennis Complex of Doha as well as the fact that last year´s champion and 2008 semi-finalist Ivan Ljubicic (travelling with his personal stringer 1 year ago) trusted the service of the Tecnifibre-team with 30 rackets to be strung.
