So true! 😂😂😂

[@justincartwright252]

So many layers to this match. Maria had beat Serena in 2004 and the tennis establishment busted a big nut afterwards thinking it had found a replacement to the Williams sisters dominance. American companies swooped in to endorse her. There were those who thought she'd never lose at Wimbledon for a long time. Enter Venus. Wrote off, dismissed - and with revenge on her mind for Serena - she played no games this match. Epic win.

[@pgarciaAP]

Plus the talented sisters found a new punching bag 🤣😂

[@mikiafu]

Why revenge? It's sports man, fair play, not a war. Maria did nothing wrong in winning Wimbledon, just as did not Venus or for that matter anyone who achieved that much. All these people are great champions and deserve our respect.

[@pgarciaAP]

@@mikiafu you put a person (Sharapova) with a ped suspension and who constantly provided digs at -specially Serena-with racial undertones (read her book) on the same footing with the Williams sisters? No way.

[@mikiafu]

@@pgarciaAP I understand your concerns about Sharapova's past and the controversy surrounding her. However, my main point was to emphasize that sports should be appreciated as a game, not a war. Let's focus on the all the fun that sports bring to us. Competitors are not enemies, even if some fans like to portray them as such, and we can appreciate one champion, without denigrating the other.

From Venus legendary career this is number 1 match. THANKS

[@johnhaakmat8861]

'What am i looking at' ????!!! Venus Willimas, ranked 14 knocking out the defending champion, nr 2 and wins it all , thats what i'm looking at !!!

[@maxcook6823]

You no what your looking at then 🙄

[@Tommy-xt6st]

Sharapova won in 2004 against Serena who just returned from a long injury. That was the only Wimbledon Sharapova won. It is clear that she was not the player that all those commentators and sponsors wanted her to be. Perhaps realizing that she cannot beat the William sisters, Sharapova soon used the drug that eventually got her into so much trouble.

[@paskferr]

I agree on the first part of the comment, we all thought she could become the next Queen of tennis but Serena regained her throne and Henin ended up being better of her as well

[@Eornom96]

You Serena fans never give up, do you. If anyone was using PED, it was Serena, every expert on that matter more or less confirmed.

[@got2bjosh]

Thanks for uploading this! Venus' third Wimbledon title. No way were the Williams sisters going to let Sharapova beat them on grass two years in a row. Serena would end her WC drought in 2009, six years after claiming her second title there. Eww, so many people coughing in the stands! 😷

[@AC-ss5oy]

I knew Venus would win this match after seeing how she came through her previous match with Mary Pierce. Mary was the perfect opponent to beat for this match considering how similar Sharapova's playing style is to Mary

[@daniella921]

Best net player ive seen. I loved watching Venus in the wimbledon finals especially against Lindsay Davenport

[@eizyaws]

Mary Carrillo comparing Sharapova to Federer is a joke 🤣

[@jantjevanleiden1]

Federer had only won 4 slams at that time, his first when he was 21 years old and Maria was much younger when she won her first grand slam. We didn't know then what we know now.

[@eizyaws]

@@jantjevanleiden1 I knew then it was a joke. Did you hear how she was talking about Sharapova earlier in the year when she played Serena at AO 2005? I knew then they were hyping Sharapova as the new kournikova but will win 20 majors and dominate the Williamses. I knew then when they were saying these things that it was a joke 🤣

[@jantjevanleiden1]

@@eizyaws Yes I think I have that match too on dvd.

[@terrylrichardson1947]

Mary Carrillo is by far the worst commentator....Almost as bad as her professional tennis career.

[@KO-vv1oz]

Please stop. Maria is one of 18 men and women who have won all grand slams. Maria was 18 here. She had an incredible serve and second serve, which is why Mary said she was like Rodger plus her winning at this time on grass was amazing. Please stop.

[@quintinrice2733]

I find it interesting that they use a smiling picture of Maria in the thumbnail. Considering she lost the match.

damnYumm i can feel the powerful hits they both are hitting

[@swamp5050]

Poor Maria, the beginning of the end!

[@Tommy-xt6st]

I think the beginning of the end for her is AO 2005. It got very ugly in AO2007.

[@KO-vv1oz]

So much heart from both players.

[@davidw5731]

Maria and Venus both suffered from late growth spurts. It hurt their games in both cases, compared to earlier. Maria's serve in 2004 was a lot more effective. I think Venus had much better strokes when she was younger and a touch shorter. All that opened the door for Serena to become the most dominant player, which might have happened anyway.

[@Brandon-qr2or]

At the end, you couldn't hear Mary 😂

[@TheFever77]

24:55 I swear commentators back then were so delusional whenever it came to sharapova. Best serve in women’s tennis? Are they drunk?

[@light279]

When you are Sharapova's colour a statement as such is not at all surprising.

[@swamp5050]

@@light279 It didn't help though, Serena retired her after too many beatdowns to count! LOL 😎

I know Wimbledon is classy and all that, but I never liked the idea of having both player’s entourage in the same box. How am I supposed to talk shit about the other player?

[@MarkR703]

The way they were talking about Serena at the end… who won a slam that same year?

[@hiphopmillennial9074]

Yeah but that Wimbledon was HORRIBLE for Serena even her dad told her to stay home that year.

Whether your a fan of maria or not you can't deny how beautiful she is and had the talent and grit to back it up. Too bad about that doping incident. Prime Venus on grass was just phenomenal.

[@ARZ1987]

Pretty equally matched in every dept, but Venus’ edge in athleticism and first serve pace won her this match. Which is why she won both meetings on grass. Maria was relentless mentally.

[@kennethwilliams3182]

She really isn't all that beautiful when you see her next to some other really beautiful female athletes. She ok.., nothing to write home about.

Very tough first set although you could see Venus had some edge, Maria’s shots not nearly as powerful as in 2004 allow Venus to dictate almost every rally

@Krishna Kumar It was still a performance enhancer legal or not, she never won another Grandslam after coming back. Had it been Venus or Serena, every title would've been taken away from them. They were tested more than anyone else for drug in every tournament.
