Mayar Sherif" - How To Watch The Women's Abierto GNP Seguros: Streaming Options For The Round Of 32

How to Watch the Abierto GNP Seguros in 2026: Streaming the Round of 32 and Beyond If you tried catching Mayar Sherif's matches at the Monterrey Open this year, you already know the drill. The tournament formerly known as the Abierto GNP Seguros — now branded as the Monterrey Open presented by GNP Seguros — wrapped up its 2026 edition back in March. But the streaming landscape for WTA 500 events keeps shifting, and if you're planning ahead for 2027 or just want to understand how to actually watch these early rounds without cable, the details matter. Sherif has become a fixture in Monterrey.

The Egyptian star loves the altitude, the courts suit her heavy topspin, and the crowd gets behind her. Watching her deal with the Round of 32 — or any round, really — shouldn't require a degree in broadcast rights. Here's what actually works. What Is the Abierto GNP Seguros The Monterrey Open is a WTA 500 tournament played on outdoor hard courts at Club Sonoma in Monterrey, Mexico.

It's been on the calendar since 2009, though it started as an International-level event and climbed the ladder. The altitude — roughly 1,800 feet — makes the ball fly faster and bounce higher. Players either adjust quickly or go home early. Sherif made her main-draw debut here in 2021 and reached the final in 2022, losing to Leylah Fernandez.

She's 12-4 lifetime at the event entering 2026. That kind of record makes her matches appointment viewing for anyone following the WTA's clay-to-hard transition swing. Why the Name Keeps Changing GNP Seguros has been the title sponsor since 2021. Before that, it was the Abierto GNP Seguros officially, but everyone still calls it Monterrey.

The WTA rebranded the category to WTA 500 in 2021, aligning with the men's ATP 500 tier. Same tournament. Same courts. Different label on the website.

Why the Round of 32 Matters More Than You Think Most casual fans tune in for quarterfinals onward. That's a mistake. The Round of 32 at a WTA 500 is where seeded players enter — the top eight seeds get byes — and where dangerous floaters like Sherif (often seeded 9-16 or just outside) start their tournament. These matches are competitive, high-stakes, and often more entertaining than lopsided later rounds.

In 2026, Sherif entered as the 13th seed. Her Round of 32 opponent? A qualifier who'd already won two matches just to reach the main draw. That's live tennis with narrative tension.

You want to watch that. How to Watch in the United States Tennis Channel — Still the Primary Home Tennis Channel holds the U. S. linear and streaming rights for the Monterrey Open through 2027.

In the U. S. Tennis Channel has exclusivity for main-draw matches. But WTA TV still carries qualifying, practice courts, and often the early-round matches that Tennis Channel doesn't pick up for linear TV.

If Sherif plays on Court 2 at 11 AM on a Tuesday, WTA TV might be your only legal stream. Subscription runs $59.99 annually or $9.99 monthly. The app works on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, and browsers. Video quality maxes out at 1080p/60fps — solid, not spectacular.

The app supports Chromecast and AirPlay. If you're in Mexico City, Guadalajara, or Monterrey itself, this is the cleanest option. Claro Sports — Free Over-the-Air Alternative Claro Sports, available on broadcast TV in major Mexican markets and streaming free at clarosports. com, often simulcasts select sessions — usually night matches featuring Mexican players or top seeds.

In 2026, they aired Sherif's Round of 32 night match against the qualifier on a one-hour delay. Not ideal for live viewing, but free and legal. How to Watch in Europe, Middle East, and Africa Sky Sports (UK/Ireland), Eurosport (Continental Europe), beIN Sports (MENA) Rights are fragmented. Sky Sports Tennis (UK) added WTA 500 events to their dedicated tennis channel in 2024.

Eurosport/Discovery+ covers France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and most of Eastern Europe. beIN Sports holds MENA rights. Each requires a local subscription — no unified pan-European WTA pass exists. If you're traveling in these regions, WTA TV is not geo-blocked for qualifying and non-televised courts.

Main-draw matches on show courts will be blacked out.
