History in Paris: Egyptian Sheriff Meyer became today (Friday) the first woman from her country to advance to the main draw at the Grand Slam tournament.
The 24-year-old sheriff, who this week became the first Egyptian woman to ever win a Grand Slam qualifier, today defeated Italy's Julia Gato Monticone 1: 6, 3: 6 and secured a ticket to the main draw.
Sheriff was born and raised in Cairo and has always loved the clay surface so Roland Garros was her favorite surface.
"I always imagined myself and described myself playing here in Paris, I really enjoy being here and competing here and I will enjoy it for as long as I can," she told the tournament's official website this week. "When Roger Federer won Roland Garros, I jumped in front of my TV. The biggest thing I have from tennis while I was growing up. "
Sheriff is ranked 172nd in the world, the highest ranking of a woman from her country.
Sheriff attended college in the United States and played there.
This is her first visit to the prestigious tournament in Paris since she participated in the girls tournament in 2012.
She and Tunisian Rape Jabor are the only two women in the top 200 in the world from the Middle East and North Africa.
The 26-year-old Jabor is of course in a completely different place, ranked 35th in the world and reached the Australian Championship quarter-finals earlier this year.

"I always think about the fact that there are only two of us in the top 200 in the world," Sheriff said. "A big part of that is because we do not believe we can do it. We did not have anyone before us who did such things to have faith. We I do not know the way, how to do it. I used to look at rape and think 'Rape has entered the top 200 in the world, why should I not do it?'. She's in the top 100 for so long, so why should I not do it? ?
"I saw her progress step by step.
Maybe if we had better resources or we had someone show us how to do it, we would do it sooner, but that does not mean we will not do it, we have a chance.
Currently there are only two of us, I hope that the future generation will look at us and see that he is also able to do it. "
The success of Sharif also came to the great athletes Egyptians and star Liverpool Mohamed Salah, who responded to the chirping of network Egyptian with emoji of applause and Retweet the Roland Garros' tweet with the article on Sheriff.
