Marathon Match at Rothenbaum: Tennis Star Mayar Sherif Defeats Her Flight Companion Paula Badosa
Egyptian tennis star Mayar Sherif defeated former world No. 2 Paula Badosa in a marathon quarterfinal match at the MSC Hamburg Ladies Open in Rothenbaum, lasting 3 hours and 26 minutes. The match was notable because the two players had flown together on a private jet just days earlier after facing each other in a final in Iași, Romania, where Badosa retired. Sherif won 7:6, 6:7, 6:4, praising Badosa's skill and noting they became friends during the flight. Sherif, the first Egyptian woman to enter a Grand Slam main draw in 2020, could become the first Egyptian to reach the Rothenbaum final.
