The rivalry between Williams and Sharapova was like the ancient rivalry between lions and Christians.

I don't do fashion but it was always exciting to see what these 2 were going to wear onto the court. Everyone at and wta all wear the same thing.

What I notice about is that their fanbase are extremely respectful to each other, I mean, always acknowledge about other's idol achievement

We all admit Serena is incredibly talented and is one of the all time greats along with Steffi, Martina and Chris, but Sharapova gets a lot of disrespect from tennis fans before and after she was banned in 2016. Some also use her lopsided head to head deficit against Serena as an excuse to disrespect her. I find it so unfortunate. Serena was a horrible match up for her, but outside Serena she has impressive records against most of the great players she faced. She might have a losing record against some, but its very close. Also the drugs she was banned for only became illegal after 2015, therefore it's possible most players were using it as well, therefore it doesn't diminish anything she achieved before 2016. In my opinion, she's the 4th greatest player of the 2000s behind Serena, Venus and Justine. I will also rank her higher than almost every top player of the 90s apart from Steffi Graf and Monica Seles. She was not the most talented, but she had a lot of talent and mental toughness. Contrary to what most people say, she wasn't a brainless ball basher. You can't beat Serena and Justine Henin in slam finals by just hitting hard. Her level in the 2008 Australia open tournament is one of the highest level any woman has ever played. Let's learn to appreciate some of these players. They made tennis very interesting and drew a lot of interest to the sport.

Kill me everybody , I’m Simona Halep and Ana Ivanovic fan but Fock me , I miss Maria and Serena on tour especially against each other I’m definitely proud that i was born in 90 and was very lucky to see players like Williams , Graff , Davenport, Seles ,Capriati , Hingis , Henin , Cljisters, Mauresmo , Pierce , Dokic , etc , and ofcourse the beginning 00 with Sharapova , Ivanovic , Hantuchova when she’s on , wow beautiful memories 😍😍😍😍

2007 aussie open I will NEVER forget. She spanked maria so bad. lol

Esa es la reina del tenis ...serena eres grande

I never understood what Maria was upset about in the Brisbane match. Had they not called her shot out, Serena would have had a lob winner anyway.

Queen Serena and princess Sharapova, they both have a mutual respect always.

Lowkey they had some romantic chemistry 🤐

After watching the upload and reading through the comments - Serena, I look forward to watching you play doubles with Venus in the near future. 🎾🎾💜✌🏾🌟🌟🌟🌟 💯 😊💯 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Sat - Apr/27/24 (uk)

In my opinion clijsters and henin represented more rivalry against Williams not Sharapova

Don’t play with Serena speaking French ate them UP! Exactly!

She lied when ever you see serena williams name on the board she got small heard pain 😂 one more lost for the record 😂

WOMEN fights for equality, knowing the truth that they are not equal to Men in some aspects like especially Physical fitness and sports. WOMEN wants to express themselves out there freely, knowing they are not telling the truth that their heart tells. WOMEN doesn't want to get suppressed but want to suppress other WOMEN if they are speaking the truth/facts. WOMEN loves to contradicts with her own self but doesn't like MEN who disagree with her fake words and smiles WOMEN are complex creatures who fight for equality but want MEN to see them with special attention WOMEN want to prove to world that they are STRONG but wants WORLD to treat them Gently.
