Defending champion Victoria Azarenka defeated Serena Williams in the final, 7–6^(8–6), 2–6, 6–3 to win the singles tennis title at the 2013 WTA Qatar Open.

All of the top three seeds (Azarenka, Williams and Maria Sharapova) were in contention for the world No. 1 ranking at the start of the tournament. Williams regained the World No. 1 ranking for the first time since October 2010, becoming the oldest No. 1 player in the history of the WTA, after she beat Petra Kvitová in the quarterfinals. She would remain the world No. 1 for a further 186 weeks until 12 September 2016, when she was replaced by Angelique Kerber, tying Steffi Graf's record for longest consecutive spell at No. 1.^[1]
