Maria Sharapova's stunning Grand Slam return! | vs Simona Halep | US Open 2017 Round 1

- Five-time major champion Maria Sharapova, ranked No. 146 in the world at the time and playing in just her 11th match of the year, shocked No. 2 seed Simona Halep, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, in front of a sold-out crowd in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Opening Night of the 2017 US Open.
There was a lot at stake for both players heading into the tournament. Sharapova was in the midst of a comeback after serving a 15-month doping suspension and battling a series of injuries that plagued her return to the tour that April. Halep, ranked No. 2 in the world, had the chance to move to No. 1 for the first time in her career with a solid performance at the year's final major.

This is why nobody will remember Bouchard and everybody will remember Sharapova.... Class, talent, beauty, but most of all a fighter, an icon.... you are missed Maria...
Yes bravo Bouchard lives to criticize Maria
@@Ethan-zr6ee true that.
Yet you brought up Bouchard's name in a place that had nothing to do with her. At least we know you'll never forget her and will always remember
Not true. We all remember Bouchard, for all the wrong reasons. Like she won a GRAND TOTAL of 1 WTA title in her miserable career (slightly better than Kournikova), and mysteriously hurt her head at the US Open locker room and got compensated for it.
@@robertdrass9504Plus, people only liked the girl for her looks. Meanwhile, Sharapova won 5 Grand Slams, and made her success. I wonder if she’s still under contract with Nike? Especially since Nike and Babolat dropped Bouchard.
she is such a great speaker; unlike other players' diplomatic speeches, she delivers the most genuine remarks.
It’s sad the Maria retired from the sport. But for real fans, despite her absence, it was a relief that she retired because it hurts us to see her struggle with all the injuries she’s getting. Despite the controversial ban, I do believe the Maria is still one if the best stars we’ve seen in decades.
We’ll definitely miss her on court. - Forever Fan
:)
yes😭
@@lawmzuala3150 nicely said
Cre, you are wrong too.
@@agustindejesus7398 in what aspect? Lol
True grit of Sharapova will go down in history. Simply at highest tier of mental toughness and focus.
Every professional coach and trainer that has ever worked for or competed against Maria will agree with you 100%.
@@4hopper4 Piatti was working with her in her final year before retiring and said that despire the injuries he was surprised to see how dedicated and hard working she was.
Maria is amazing. She is a tennis legend forever. I miss her so much!!!
doping legend
Not a legend
True.
@@mike_404 как твоя мамка
Many drugs
This match is way more intense than final... love you Maria ❤️❤️....miss your presence in the grand slam
this is the fifth times i watch this play but still i keep watching this fantastic play, both players give their best ...this match proves that Maria Sharapova can play her best with out the banned substance she is accused of taking with out her knowledge that it is banned. pls upload more of Maria's past matches.
Me as a Sharapova Fan watching this match in 2017: screaming, laughing, crying, being proud, being even more proud and cry even more (because of being proud and happy) in just one night.
@In CogNito can't stand haters
In CogNito Well it shows you can’t handle stuff easily
Gonna miss Maria and her never-ending willingness to fight for every point.
That is the most emotional I have ever seen her after a match and that includes winning Grand Slam title. Great match with both players playing well and giving their all. So after 19 months of not playing a Grand Slam match and only 11 matches the whole year, she beats the #2 player in the world. The drug she took to supposedly help her endurance was banned and she still played a fantastic 2 hr 40 minute match which proved she did not need it as a performance enhancer. She played pretty well that first year back, too bad the shoulder injuries just never went away and basically finished her career.
@@Jazz46203 5 Grand Slam titles and winning all four majors is indeed impressive. She got the most out of her ability and for somebody whose movement was not the greatest to win 2 French Open titles is pretty amazing.
Very well said
@@robertdiepold2242couldn’t agree more. Winning each grand slam (all surfaces) is such an accomplishment and she will be talked about forever. Then to think someone with her style of play/movement won the French twice.
Maria sharapova is really a great player ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Maria's outfit looks amazing.
Sharapova, what a way to get back into the game. You just came to show us what you're made of. Now without the drug that almost "ends your career". It was your moment, here came the tennis champion again and to stay with the top and making it clear to everyone with this amazing game, but they continued to kill her the same way for a mistake she had already paid for. As you are going to miss her, tennis would not be the same without her, it marked an important part in the history of tennis with its wonderful game and style, a great one.
Best first round ever and even better than the 2015-2019 finals lol
I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message
2016 was good final
Mohd Asyraf i’d include bere 2014 as well
I agree 2016 final was better than this match but agree best R1
@@yskndar not better than this match!!
Maria Sharapova is really an excellent player. She has just lost many games due to injury.
i want to thanks the US OPEN for believing on Sharapova's capabilities this game was shown live on the opening of the US OPEN AND ON THE PRIME TIME WITH THE TICKETS SOLD OUT..we believe in you MASHA
Maria has the ultimate physique for tennis. Strong upper body strength and equally sturdy legs for this sport plus the most important feature of a true champion,heart
She could have maybe been 2-3 inches shorter for the absolute ideal physique but her mentality was great
@@samisankey3104 agreed
@@samisankey3104taller players have better serves imho.
there is no doubt this is the best first round match ever in women tennis history!!!
yeah it was amazing
Sharapova was under an unbelievable amount of pressure in this match. The doping ban cast a shadow on practically all her Grand Slam titles, so she must have felt like she had to prove it had never been any chemical substance that made her a champion. Anyone else might have buckled under such pressure, especially with the injuries holding her back. She didn't - despite all the double faults and unforced errors, she went for the low percentage shots, played her usual aggresive style and beat the world No.2 at the time. Now that's the mindset and grit of a champion.
The cultural genocide posing as a doping ban. This game will take a very long time to recover from a bunch of real cheaters backed by the ITF officials for business and "values" reasons. Personally, I hated Sharapova for executing her strokes so unprofessionally despite their move to America. All the sacrifices of her family had been done almost for nothing considering her real talent of smart play and creativity, almost equalling Henin's. Yet, Henin has been sick from birth (missing one muscle in her leg, causing her to suffer). Invalid for professional tennis, basically. Still winning more slams than Maria because of her talent. But Maria's book is full of fun...
@@annneru Sharapova’s career grand slam>>> henin’s incomplete grand slam.
We’ll definitely miss her on court. - Forever Fan. I don't know about the mechanics or what have you but to me, she has the most beautiful, graceful serve of all. It's dreamy. I love how she keps an eye on her opponent even after she's thrown the ball in the air. Focus.
Boring she soo slow serving..
A great playing by both of them. Maria win is just what she deserved.
The best was what we have seen after the end of the match.
What a beauty!
Please upload more of Maria‘s matches in this stunning resolution! Thank you!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What a tremendous battle. No doubt one of those classics worth revisiting many times. It's so vital to have untiring retrievers in the game like Halep, with her beautifully sculpted legs of Olympic racer. Watching her in slow motion rushing to the net or sprinting for dear life from corner to corner is one of those great moments of women's tennis. Halep, with her immense level of energy, sprints after extreme side balls that most players would just let go. She keeps the quality of the game at the highest level of intensity. Halep forces her star opponent to produce her best. And Sharapova, rising to the challenge, delivered.
We'll never know another player of such beauty, elegance, and superior talent in a long, long time. Seeing Maria emerge at 17 with her antelope legs and girlish smile withstanding the firing power of battleship Serena Williams was one of those miracles. The Ancient Greeks would have turned her into one of their goddesses. Sharapova was a blessing to the women's tennis world that we will not see duplicated in our lifetimes. Losing her is an absolute tragedy for the WTA circuit. So immensely sad. Our only consolation is to get the videos of as many of her great games as possible. No highlights, only the full games to deploy the wide scope of her unforgettable grace and artistry.
Excellent commentaire. Merci
That was the best ever first round match at US Open.
I am not Sharapova fan but she looked stunning in that outfit
I read about it. The dress was made as a collaboration between Nike and Riccardo Tisci. Adorned with Swarovski crystals, the dress cost $500 USD, along with a crystal-adorned bomber jacket costing $700 USD.
maria sharapova amazing tennis player👍👍👍
Miss you Masha
Everytime I see Sharapova's legs I'm amazed all over again. For the record, Haleps legs are also sensational.
1:23:09 incredible !!!!! must see

Maria Sharapova is married now with a son. She has moved on with her life and raising a family. She has been rewarded for her countless sacrifices in trying to establish herself as a tennis icon. Thanks to her father who masterminded her entry to tennis, as well to Martina Navratilova who encouraged her dad to pursue her tennis career. What a thrill having witnessed a player like Maria who graced the tennis courts with her gorgeous looks, charisma, pleasing personality & powerful tennis plays. We’ll miss you!!! All the best!!!
Thank you for your comment, i really appreciate it ❤
MaSha FOREVER !!!

60 winners--64 UE(s) that beautiful black outfit. Signature Sharapova.
wayne welsh for a 3 set women’s match, 60 winners is nearly unheard of! maria was firing and going for everything. i bet halep had like 6 winners lol. no hate but she’s very defensive in this match
like your fighting spirit, persistence...Simona🎾💪❤😘
With great pleasure I watched a six-year-old game! Both girls are great tennis players! Thank you US Open Tennis Championships for posting the video of this great match!♥♥♥
I miss Sharapova. She was a tennis star with her unique style on court. Composed, intense and powerful. A player like that is rare. Her presense was surely felt here. A R1 match was fully packed like it was the final.
We can see how much she loves Tennis. Just like winning a slam
Maria is blessed with incredible good looks, she played great, and her tennis outfit was very worthy of the cat walk. Happy Birthday to me, this was presented on 4/13/2020. KEEP ON TRUCKING, MARIA.
Maria 's get-up matched with the black shoes, is the coolest i've ever seen her look on court.
This is the mach of 'angry russian cat woman' Maria.
Playing in a great form her aggressive pushing style is impressive. As I like Simona too it was interesting to see different styles battle of the legend and the champion. Worth to watch GOOD TENNIS
Maria yHelep🌹 juegan excelentemente bien son muy bienes tenistas👏 felicidades charapova😍😍😍❤🇩🇴

US Open since you don't put Andreescu vs Bencic match...
Put a match of Bencic vs Andreescu...
We must admit that all that Halep is playing today are the lessons learned from the disputes with Sharapova, Kerber and Serena. The squirrel of that time has become a real fox today! The semifinal between them in Rome in 2018, foresaw the coronation of Halep at Roland Garros. :)
Exactly. I knew one day, Simo would break through. She is an incredible competitor and I think her vs anyone is one of the best in WTA...she just never gives up and gets everything back. I bet playing her can drive a girl nuts. Learning from Vika, Serena, Maria, Wozniacki and Kerber is probably the best thing for her success in the last couple years.
The squirrel what?
Go Maria!!!!
I was so happy to have Maria back they tried to destroy her career because she said NO and everyone was so blinded by the allegations of drug use but the US Open said fuck you to everybody else we're having this woman in our tournament and now in 2020 she can go her own way out in her own way and she can say NO to anybody
great Maria
Grande Maria
American love Maria.
America loves Maria Sharapova 💋💕💖💖💕💕💋💖💖💖💋💋
Bravo Maria 👏🎾❤️
This one was awesome! Would love to see the Kerber v. Azarenka 2015 full match too :)
She's a star ⭐.. It's just so unfortunate for her to compete in d same era with Serena's dominance.. Otherwise she had that spark to be on top of d world.
For all the Maria haters: there’s no drug in the world that could make me or you play like that. So calm down girlfriend.
Literally so true
Причем здесь drug. Это огромная работа прежде всего
Of course it is. It is called Meldonium. And Halep was always vulnerable to big hitters like Sharapova. For example, Kaia Kanepi or Mirjana Lucic. Sharapova would have been like those two without Meldonium.
Maria is just so adorable. Tennis will never be the same without her and her scream 😅
It was 1st round bu
ut feels like a final round match. Bravo halep & sharapova
С большим удовольствием посмотрел шестилетней давности игру! Обе девушки великие теннисистки! Спасибо US Open Tennis Championships, что опубликовали ролик с этим замечательным матчем!♥♥♥

Обратите внимание какой элегантный наряд у Марии + эта обувь ❤, нет, кто бы что не говорил, она богиня и звезда тенниса 😊
I remember that match well. Many are jealous of Maria. She was great for tennis. If she didn't scream so much, she'd have been way more popular
Can we also get Simona Halep vs Victoria Azarenka
like Simona fighting spirit, persistence❤
