CAIRO – Mayar Sherif, Egypt’s top tennis player, is set for a challenging start as she takes on Poland’s Katarzyna Kawa on Tuesday at the Antalya Open in Türkiye.

Sherif heads into the tournament determined to make a strong statement, carrying high ambitions of climbing further up the WTA rankings and reinforcing her presence on the international circuit this season.
Clay is her favourite surface; the Egyptian champion will look to take charge early and book her place in the second round with a solid performance.

But Kawa will not make it easy. She’s experienced, competitive, and ready for the fight. Both players want this win, and neither’s going to give an inch.
