Defending champion Novak Djokovic defeated Andy Murray in the final, 6–3, 5–7, 6–4 to win the singles tennis title at the 2017 Qatar Open. Djokovic saved five match points en route to the title, in the semifinals against Fernando Verdasco. The final marked Djokovic and Murray's 36th and final professional meeting; Djokovic won to end their head-to-head at 25–11 in his favor.

Murray became the first player to reach the ATP Qatar Open final four times; however, his loss in the final ended his 28-match winning streak dating back to the 2016 Davis Cup semifinals.[1][2]
