Mayar Sherif defeated Aya El Aouni 6–2, 6–1 in the first round of the WTA 250 event in Rabat on clay on 21 May 2024, confirming her status as heavy pre-match favourite with a dominant performance. Sherif's comprehensive victory, achieved in straight sets with minimal resistance, underscored the gulf in class between the two competitors at the Moroccan event. The Egyptian's commanding display on her preferred surface suggests she entered the tournament in confident form, though the ease of the win offers limited insight into her ability against stronger opposition. Sherif's progression to the next round maintains her momentum in the North African swing.
