If is used in three conditions in the English grammar.
A) Introducing a conditional clause.
If the weather is fine, we can walk to the village.
B) Despite the possibility that.
If it takes me seven years, I shall do it.
C) As a noun.
No ifs and no buts.
The above sentence is neither of these conditions.

Why need to use 'Expressed doubt'?
We can use 'doubted' is not it?
We can use 'doubted' is not it?

It has redundancy in using extra word expressed. We have to use doubted instead.

RULE- after the verb 'doubt' 'that' should not be used. 'if' or 'whether' should be used in its place.
Example:
I doubt that Ravi will come. Incorrect.
I doubt if Ravi will come. Correct.
Example:
I doubt that Ravi will come. Incorrect.
I doubt if Ravi will come. Correct.

After the doubt, that should not be used. Only 'if' or 'whether' should be used.
Here 'whether' is appropriate.
'if' is used for future tense.
eg: I doubt if Ravi will come.
Here 'whether' is appropriate.
'if' is used for future tense.
eg: I doubt if Ravi will come.

That is correct because the person is in doubt and he is expressing not asking.

If you really doubt that something is true (suspect that it's false), use "doubt that:" I doubt that Fred has really lost 25 pounds.
If you want to express uncertainty, use "whether" I doubt whether we will see the comet if the clouds don't clear soon. "Doubt if" can be substituted for "doubt whether", though it's considered somewhat more casual, but don't use it when you mean "doubt that".
