Egypt's Mayar Sherif creates history at Australian Open

Mayar Sherif became the first Egyptian woman to win a main draw match at a Grand Slam when beating France's Chloe Paquet at the Australian Open on Tuesday, February 9.

"It means a lot because finally, this is a barrier that I had to pass, a mental barrier," said Sherif, who has been buoyed in the past by support from fellow Egyptian Mo Salah.
