Egyptian tennis star continues her achievements in the Australian Open
Egyptian tennis star Mayar Sharif continued her achievements and qualified for the second round of the Australian Open tennis championship, after she defeated Frenchman Chloe Paquet 7/5 and 7/5 today in the first round of the first four Grand Slam tournaments of the season.
It took Mayar Sharif, ranked 131 in the world, one hour and 40 minutes to finish the match against her French rival, and she became the first Egyptian to reach the second round of a Grand Slam tournament.
In September 2020, Mayar Sharif became the first Egyptian ever to reach the main role in a Grand Slam tournament through the French Open (Roland Garros), but she was the first Egyptian ever to achieve any victory in the qualifying rounds of the tournament.
Mayar Sharif won at that time in the three matches she played in the qualifying rounds for the tournament, but she was lucky when she was confronted by second-seeded Czech Karolina Pliskova in the first round of the main roles of the tournament, and Pliskova won a difficult victory over her.
