Team USA’s Olivia Blatchford and Amanda Sobhy are set to compete in the second PSA world series event of the season this weekend—the Qatar Classic—in Doha.

Both players are making their first PSA appearance since the Delaware Investments U.S. Open earlier this month.

Blatchford, world No. 40, is in the qualifying pool and heads straight to Friday’s qualifying finals due to a first round bye where she will face Hong Kong’s Lee Ka Yi at 4pm local time.

If Blatchford joins Sobhy in the main draw, the Wilton, Connecticut-native could play either Saturday or even face Sobhy on Sunday.

Sobhy, world No. 11, is seeded fourteenth in the bottom half of the draw and awaits a qualifier Sunday at noon local time on the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex courts.

All main draw glass court matches are streaming live on SquashTV, and SquashTV lite for the Khalifa Complex courts.
