AO 2007 - probably would have won against Vaidisova/ Peer in the F. 2010 Wimbledon - would have lost to Li in the QF as Li beat her 4 times in a row in that period and a week prior in Birmingham on grass 2013 RG - probably would have won this Slam, yes. 2015 AO - probably would have won this one too. 2015 Wimbledon - Maria was in poor form and no way was she beating Azarenka and Muguruza on grass in a row 2016 AO - She would likely have lost to Kerber So at best, Maria would have won 2 more Slams, but you also have to consider if there was no Serena, her opponent in the 2004 Wimbledon final would have been Mauresmo who she couldn’t beat for years, so that’s probably one less Slam. So without Serena, Maria would have won 6 Slams instead of 5.

@@MrGenexxx SHARAPOVA’s one-dimensional power game, her high-school level volleying skills and her unreliable serve make her a far inferior player, objectively, compared to Venus and Henin (who both have winning H2H against Maria, to further prove this). Props to Maria for working hard late in her career to win the French (twice!) where she used to move awfully. However, this is further tainted by her abuse of a Russian army drug that was ultimately banned as performance-enhancing by the medical staff n board of the WTA. She said she took it for 10-11 years, so every single one of her titles in that period deserves a big fat asterisk, especially since her endurance and ability to win third sets absolutely PLUMMETED once she was forced to stop taking this unfair advantage substance. If Venus or Henin had been so lucky to take that PED, they would likely have the career slam too. But instead, they still stand above Maria in technique, prestige, integrity and the GS count.

The one thing Serena did, she lost an entire point over without a warning and which had no effect on the outcome of the point. This is what she has had to go through all her career.

Serena Williams have; 190% Focused 150% Energy When meet Sharapova after wimbledon final 2004

This was a good match. The second set was excellent. I am a big Serena fan, but i also admire Sharapova a lot. People like to portray her as a brainless ball basher, but its a lie. You don't win 5 slams, a career grand slam and beat the likes of Serena Williams and Justine Henin in slam finals by just hitting the ball hard. She also overcame a shoulder surgery to win 2 more slams and reached multiple finals. I believe if Serena was out of the picture she would have won more. Serena was just a horrible match up for her, because Serena was better than her in almost all aspects of the game. For those always bringing up her drug issues, it only became illegal after 2015, therefore cut her some slack. She's a very accomplished woman.

Serena is so pretty !!

@AlvinNyipa

3 ай бұрын

first, her serve touched the net[you could hear the umpire said 'let'] but well inside the service line. so, another first serve for her which hit the net. basically, this one is a faulty serve. Once you missed the first serve by hitting the net or missing the service lines[outside the mark], a player will then be given a second serve to play before losing the point if the player still miss the same way it did with the first serve. hence, she still got a second serve when you thought she was serving on the same service box three times because the first try was not really a miss, nor the service was accepted to start the play due to the ball 'touching' the net without missing. The second time she serves she basically hit a new first serve, then the third was the second serve because she missed the previous one. Got it?

Poor Sharapova; she played serena 22 times, and serena won 20 TIMES!!

Why when Serena thought she won and didn't? Why it wasn't showing where the ball landed at?🤔

It seems that all people who are black have really really skated Maria and bigger up Serena and stinks of racism . My point bein was Maria was absolute nobody in comparison to Serena nobody had heard of her unlike the greatness of Serena . It’s certain people who love to stir the pot made them dislike one another and many many fans just ate it up added bitterness to the pot!! At a time when Serena was unbeatable little Maria pops up and beat her and you could see Serena was not impressed and then made it her tennis life to beat her most times they met .. they didn’t just meet at the grand slams . As far as I give a shit their women and I’m all for women power and love nothing more than watching women’s sport it’s about time coz when I grew up it was all men men men i I cousins stand it I just wanted to see more women in sport like it is now and that makes me happy!!!!
