In August, at the Prague Open Prague Open, Sherif advanced through the qualifying making her main-draw debut at WTA Tour-level. In the first round, she lost there to Laura Siegemund in three sets.

In late September 2020, Sherif defeated Camila Osorio, Caty McNally and Giulia Gatto-Monticone in the French Open qualifying. Making her Grand Slam main-draw debut as the first Egyptian female player, Sherif came up against second seed and world No. 3, Karolína Plíšková, losing in three sets.

2021: Major & WTA 1000 wins, Olympics & top 100 debut

Sherif at the 2021 Winners Open.

Sherif again made history as the first Egyptian woman to win a match at a Grand Slam tournament, beating Chloe Paquet in the first round of the Australian Open.

She qualified for Indian Wells making her WTA 1000 debut, and defeated Zheng Saisai for her first win at this level. She received a wildcard for the WTA 1000 Miami Open.

Sherif delivered another highlight, when she, as the first Egyptian woman, qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, after winning the 2019 African Games.

Sherif also became the first Egyptian woman to reach a WTA Tour singles and doubles final in Cluj-Napoca. In singles, she defeated top seed Alizé Cornet, Alex Eala, Kristína Kučová and Mihaela Buzărnescu but lost to Andrea Petkovic in the final. In doubles, partnering Katarzyna Piter, she lost to Natela Dzalamidze and Kaja Juvan in the final. As a result, she entered the top 100 at world No. 97 on 9 August 2021, the first Egyptian woman to do so, and also reached a career-high in doubles at No. 154.

2022: Maiden career title, top 50 in singles & top 100 in doubles

She made her top 50 debut in singles and reached world No. 98 in doubles on 16 May 2022.

At the French Open, she became the first Egyptian woman to win a Roland Garros main-draw match, after defeating Marta Kostyuk in two sets. She withdrew in the second round due to injury.

At the Emilia-Romagna Open in Parma, Sherif defeated Anna Bondár, Simona Waltert, Lauren Davis, and Ana Bogdan to reach her second WTA 250 final, and her first since the previous summer. She then defeated top seed and world No. 7, Maria Sakkari, in straight sets to claim her first singles title and become the first woman from Egypt to win a WTA Tour title. The win against Sakkari was also her first top-10 win.

2023: WTA 1000 quarterfinal, record sixth WTA 125 title, historic ranking

At the 2023 Madrid Open, Sherif defeated Camila Giorgi by retirement, 30th seed Anhelina Kalinina, world No. 5 Caroline Garcia and 24th seed Elise Mertens to reach her first WTA 1000 singles quarterfinal, thus also becoming the first Egyptian player to do so.

She won her second WTA 125 title at the Open Internacional de Valencia in two weeks following her triumph at the WTA 125 Makarska International. As a result, she reached a historic career-high of No. 31 in the singles rankings, becoming the highest ranked Egyptian player, male or female, in the Open era. No other player had won more than three WTA Challenger titles since the level was introduced in 2012.

2024: Madrid and Rome third rounds, five final defeats

In April, Sherif reached the third round at the Madrid Open with wins over Lauren Davis and 25th seed Marta Kostyuk before losing to world number four Elena Rybakina.

At the start of May, she reached the final at the Catalonia Open in Lleida, Spain, where she lost to Katerina Siniaková in a match lasting almost three hours.

At the Italian Open in Rome later that month, Sherif made the third round, defeating 11th seed Jasmine Paolini on the way, before losing to 25th seed Victoria Azarenka in three sets.

The following week she lost in the final of the Emilia-Romagna Open in Parma, Italy, to Anna Karolína Schmiedlová. Sherif suffered similar disappointment at her next tournament, the Morocco Open, where she was defeated in the final by Peyton Stearns.

She reached the final as she attempted to defend her Makarska International title in June, but lost to Katie Volynets in three sets.

In July, Sherif was runner-up at the Grand Est Open 88 in Contrexéville, France, losing to Lucia Bronzetti in a final which lasted more than three-and-a-half hours.
