Marathon Match at Rothenbaum: Tennis Star Mayar Sherif Defeats Her Flight Companion Paula Badosa
Egyptian tennis star Mayar Sherif defeated Paula Badosa in a marathon quarterfinal match at the Rothenbaum Hamburg Ladies Open, winning 7-6, 6-7, 6-4 after 3 hours and 26 minutes. The match was notable because just four days earlier, the two had flown together in a private jet from a tournament in Iași, Romania, where Sherif also defeated Badosa after the Spaniard retired. Sherif, the first Egyptian woman to enter a Grand Slam main draw, praised Badosa as a friend and nice person. The article also covers Anna Bondar's success at Rothenbaum, where she reached the semifinals after defeating Alina Charaeva, and notes that top-seeded Oleksandra Oliynykova withdrew due to injury, allowing Elina Avanesyan to advance without a fight.
