Serena Williams vs Maria Sharapova Charleston 2008 Highlights

[@bklynfinesse8709]

This was One Hell Of A Match! These ladies played with everything they had in them.

[@secrets.295]

Maria before that damn shoulder injury later that year, was one hell of a player. Just look at her shots here, it's crazy. She never reached this level again after her return. Although she did became a much2 better player on clay. Serena as always, was the woman to beat. Can't believe both women have retired. Pretty soon Venus too 😭. I am glad that Serena chose to retire now though. I feel like this is a great transition into a new era. Look out for Swiatek and potentially Gauff. They will be the future of womens tennis

Iga will never match the power of serena Venus Sharapova.

@@krishnakumar2390 I'm Polish, but you're right. Iga will never have these girls' power, serve and ESPECIALLY THE GRIT/mindset.

[@emmanueln8415]

Yet, she won 4 slams post shoulder surgery against 1 slam before that, statistics that show it's rather a poor excuse to say that her level dropped because of her post shoulder surgery. Serena had knee injuries, natably one towards the end of 2003, but never used it for an excuse after her losses. Injuries are part of every athlete's trials.

[@teeharrison2137]

She just couldn’t beat Serena after her wins in 07.

[@jnayvann]

The song when Micheal Joyce talked to Sharapova before the third set was “ My Lovin’ (You Never Gonna Get It)” by En Vogue. That tournament threw some Easter egg shade lol.

omfg love it lol

Que buenas jugadoras que Dios las bendiga🙏 da gusto ver como juegan ambas Sharapova y Serena😘😘❤❤❤🇩🇴🎾🏆

[@superlunchtrey2843]

Despite how bad the commentators could be sometimes I miss when ESPN would air more matches throughout the year rather than just the majors. Made tennis feel more mainstream and like more of a big deal.

there is no sport with worse coverage (more fractured/expensive/impossible) than TENNIS omg

18:42 I was looking for that part 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What Rilvary does'nt one have to win more than one to be consider in the game?

[@sharonmorgan171]

Maria coach said don't let that girl beat you 😅😅😅

[@superior120v5]

He wanted to say something else.

[@got2bjosh]

“You beat death, Arvin, but you couldn’t beat me.”

[@tembamhangami3655]

Serena always good

[@rozaliyanasyrova3050]

Обожаю Марию и не важно выиграла она или нет, такой, как она нет и думаю не будет 👍🥰😘🌹❤🎾

[@kadekigorevna5727]

sharapova was at her best at that time (2008) but she still couldnt beat Serena 😂 6-1 in the final set 😂

[@ricclee8559]

@@dosensadif6585 I agree Maria was at a peak in early '08, had she kept it together, she couldve beaten Serena 6-3, 6-4 maybe, but Serena was always the better player, she always had solution against Maria whether she is at her best or not

[@tychiefin1]

I always say Maria was a force with that prince racket

[@erianmaxcic6052]

She was indeed, but this racquet injured her shoulder as well. Too strong and powerful. She was better with Head.

[@charlesncharj]

Its so nasty that he jokingly referenced her gender. Such a bastard.

[@zacharyhall8580]

@@dosensadif6585 i agree..but if serna were to hear him she would have said ..to you Thats Ms.Bitch

[@jobuck879]

@@dosensadif6585 So you know the operation of his mind? He could have said a host of ugly vile things hence his pause. It’s sickening the things that Serena (and Venus) endured. But they did it while making history.

[@bryanmartin5901]

who said that? where in vid? about whom?

[@shemotivatesem9299]

I came to the comments to see if anyone caught that! So sad, the jealousy and hatred...wicked!!!

[@shemotivatesem9299]

Sharapova thought it was funny. I love fate!!!

[@matebesisehume2623]

the coach wanted to say "beat this black girl"and says he almost slipped up. well it serves him right that Maria is the weak link she is!!! BLACK IS POWER

[@ashleymoreful]

I think he wanted to say more than that

[@funreviews1436]

Not for humans for machines... For skintone it's sickness, resemble weakness.

[@flashlight5695]

She didn't beat this almost whatever he and the druggypova insinuated... most players played against the opponent but Serena played against a lot more without the help of drugs and favoritism.

[@Eornom96]

Haha Serena took multiple steroids every year under TUE. She played the race card to her favour a lot of times

[@timah9506]

Are you??? 😂

[@Praise-Him2]

Where is this Michael Joyce now?! Has karma caught up with him yet? Pray he’s a much better human being.

[@theire483]

They had no rivalry
