Serena Williams v Maria Sharapova Full Match | Australian Open 2015 Final

[@eugenefajura66]

Tennis is never the same again without Serena, Venus, Maria Sharapova, Clijsters, Henin, Mauresmo, Davenport, Hingis, Seles and Capriatti.

[@mitchcornelis537]

So true, golden age of women's tennis

[@timothylee2772]

If it weren't for Serena, Sharapova would've won at least four more Slams. She won five Slams. She could have easily won 10 Slams without Serena.

[@regulusarcturus]

@@timothylee2772Not necessarily. AO 2005 - would have been a toss up against Davenport in the final who ended up beating her 6-0 6-0 6 weeks later. 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.

[@Jojo_Alsinashe]

Love them both but to call this a rivalry is insulting to Williams. Their h2h is 20-2 in favor of serena, grand slams 23-5, titles 73-36. The last time Sharapova won against Williams was in 2004.

[@MrGenexxx]

Lopsided for sure. But Maria is still objectively the second best female tennis player of the 21st century so far. In the last 20+ years only her and Serena managed to win all slams.

[@ramonecricket5183]

Both Venus and Henin are better than Sharapova in my opinion. They both won 7 slams plus the Olympic gold medal in singles, and they won multiple slams in a season, something Sharapova never did.

[@MrGenexxx]

@@ramonecricket5183 I respect your opinion. But Maria is one of only ten players to complete career grand slam. That’s important to me. And she has Olympic silver only losing the gold match to Serena obviously. Djokovic been to four straight Olympics and only got bronze. And nobody holds it against him. Many people still consider him the GOAT despite that.

[@bryanmartin5901]

@@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.

[@chanjiewan6823]

let me just point out the fact that Maria did countless things that could be questioned by the ampire like asking before challenging and going over the time limit throughout the entire match. 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. Over 20 something years, we can count her outbursts on one hand but people make such a big deal about it.

Aggressive refers to the style of tennis play. It's not pejorative. Serena is classified as an aggressive baseliner like many top players who have big serves and favor power over placement. Serena is of course highly skilled in all aspects.

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.

[@marciaburtongordon5028]

Reminder this was a doped up Sharapova against a Serena with the flu. And Serena still beat her in two sets. Sharapova was suspended for the drug enhancers she had been using.

[@ZoiusGM]

Today I read about her case. I don't think a mere fan can determine whether the substance (that was not banned yet) enhanced her performance or not. Only a doctor or sports physiologist could possibly know that *for sure*. She said she used a drug prescribed by her doctor for her health problems; and the anabolic substance of it wasn’t banned in 2015. Quote by Sharapova, in wiki: _I received a letter from the ITF that I failed a drugs test at the Australian Open. I take full responsibility for it. For the past ten years I have been given a medicine called mildronate by my family doctor and a few days ago after I received the ITF letter I found out that it also has another name of meldonium which I did not know. It is very important for you to understand that for ten years this medicine was not on WADA's banned list and I had legally been taking the medicine for the past ten years. But on January 1st [2016] the rules had changed and meldonium became a prohibited substance which I had not known. I was given this medicine by my doctor for several health issues that I was having in 2006._

[@cowboycrushfan]

Best part of the match... 1:24:08

[@fuzzyredponcho]

20:23 why did she serve three times? I thought you are only get to serve two times

[@AlvinNyipa]

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?

Iga is very good but her rivals (Sabalenka Rybakina and Coco) are very inconstant in their games Rybakina could give her hard times but not always at the meeting point (semis, finals) Sabalenka game is too up and down for Iga consistency and Coco has a visible weak shot (forehand) that Iga use very well! Iga is by far the best in the current tour but Serena is strongest player ever, no woman who ever play this game can beat Serena playing at her best, the closest to do so would be Venus because she knows her game more than anyone
