Sherif again made history as the first Egyptian woman to win a match at a Grand Slam tournament, beating Chloe Paquet in the first round of the Australian Open.[9]

She qualified for Indian Wells making her WTA 1000 debut, and defeated Zheng Saisai for her first win at this level. She received a wildcard for the WTA 1000 Miami Open.

Sherif delivered another highlight, when she, as the first Egyptian woman, qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, after winning the 2019 African Games.[10][11]

Sherif also became the first Egyptian woman to reach a WTA Tour singles and doubles final in Cluj-Napoca.

At the French Open, she became the first Egyptian woman to win a Roland Garros main-draw match, after defeating Marta Kostyuk in two sets. She withdrew in the second round due to injury.[14]

[edit]

At the 2023 Madrid Open, Sherif defeated Camila Giorgi by retirement, 30th seed Anhelina Kalinina, world No. 5 Caroline Garcia and 24th seed Elise Mertens to reach her first WTA 1000 singles quarterfinal, thus also becoming the first Egyptian player to do so.[16][17]

She won her second WTA 125 title at the Open Internacional de Valencia[18] in two weeks following her triumph at the WTA 125 Makarska International.[19] As a result, she reached a historic career-high of No. 31 in the singles rankings, becoming the highest ranked Egyptian player, male or female, in the Open era.
