@@Raider577 They didn't hate each other. 2 Alpha tennis players who were 1 and 2 that would run through ANYONE to win. Once they've retired, there are a whole lot of conversations that they never had to have because they both understood. They both knew that there are only a handful of people in sports history that would understand why they navigated the way that they did. I guarantee that when they both first saw each other after retirement, their very first responses were smiles and laughs. It was never personal between them. Maria wanted what Serena had, and Serena wanted to keep what she had. Even Connors and McEnroe were super cool after retirement. Same thing.

This is the 20th anniversary of her winning Wimbledon; maybe the title should reflect that?

The most valuable lesson a current player can learn from Maria would be about legal pharmacological enhancement of their performance. Maria was using it for most of her career, it worked well (she was famous of her stamina), but at some point it got banned and then Maria ran into trouble. Did it pay, at the end of the day? She was treated leniently, she was allowed to come back on court after a couple of months, but she never won anything of value afterwards.

@@kerbiczwhen something is legal for everyone to take you don’t have an advantage. She won two slams before even using it and only played 5 matches after it had been banned. Also a lot of tennis players were using it if you didn’t know which is part of the reason it became banned in the first place. Maria just didn’t get the memo. She also wasn’t the only tennis player to test positive for it after it was banned but I guarantee you can’t name the other two because you simply have a dislike of Maria. Her body had already been breaking down the previous 3 years prior to her getting banned and it just continued once she returned, had nothing to do with the drug. She still beat the 2&3 players in the world after her returning and won a title beating Sabalenka in the final. Her injuries were why she planned on retiring in 2016.

She is having another long engagement. Remember her and the NBA player were engaged forever and they called it off. Hopefully with the baby they get married.

Was never much of a fan, especially given her penchant for screaming on the court (Screamapova was one of the first and the worst), and her suspension for illegal heart medication or whatever it was. But regardles, time heals and she looks and sounds great. I wish her nothing but success and happiness in the future . . .

@stonew1927 she is terrible and because of her all the Russian tennis players are living a nightmare with drug tests. Daria kasatkina said that she was tested 4 times in her final match that she won in Eastbourne.
