Still remember this match and I skipped school only for this match.. i was so nervous, anxious, hyped, shouting, ball sweating, swearing, peeing eeeeeverything. This match has it all the drama, the intensity, the rollercoster and they pushed each other.. fighting fire with FIRE!!! But at the end of the day Serena is.. S.E.R.E.N.A! 🐐🐐🐐🐐
By the time of 2007, pretty much all her main rivals had retired (Graf, Hingis, Capriati, Henin, even Seles and Clijsters). It's easy to look good when you don't have much competition.
@@fundhund62 Serena’s rivalries changed over time… She had many wins that weren’t necessarily a walk in the park post 2007…. her rivalry with Elena Dementieva, Victoria Azarenka particularly intensified…
This match is where it started with Sharapova mental issues when playing Serena. I never followed tennis in 2005 but in 2007 when they played in the final at the Australian Open Sharapova didn't look confident could tell from the first point and after seeing this match after 2007 could see why she is not confident playing Serena.
Agreed. Serena lived in Maria’s head forever after this one. I always think that this match is where Serena officially made the statement to Maria “you will never beat me again”. And then 2007 is when she repeated that statement in her face with a megaphone 📢

Serena & that giant frying pan 113 in racquet. UGH. 😂 She and Venus won a lot with those big racquets too! Everybody was certain the "Russian takeover" was happening. Serena stopped them in their tracks and they could never take it. Especially Maria.
This is what people pay to see. Two of the finest players on the tour playing great tennis. Two opposing forces that despise each other finding ways to beat the other and taking the crown. This is what tennis is about.
Yeah. There is something about these kinds of grudge matches that fits tennis very well. Lendl - McEnroe, Becker - Agassi, Federer - Djokovic, Seles - Graf, Hingis - Williams sisters, Serena - Sharapova. So many great memories.
Current players just give up. Swiatek in third sets against ostapenko etc just give up. Dont change strategy etc. And she is considered as best thing ever by her cult
Sharapova been on drugs and I knew it. This high quality intense match it was like she was not even phased at all.. cheaters never win and I will go to my grave saying if that would have happened to serena they would have stripped her of her titles..
Serena was one of the most surprise tested players ever on tour, like they wanted her to be on drugs so bad yet she retired without ever failing or missing a single test.

I miss these days......The Golden era Serena = Relentless Sharapova = Resilient (even tho she was using an illegal banned substance for her health conditions doing this time and her strength was powerful I must admit, but she was never this strong again after she was suspended, however she still was a good player after she got busted, just never could beat Serena after that) Great Tennis!!! #SerenaTheGoat

I miss this intensity and fighting spirit on court. This match is something special... there will never be players like Serena or Sharapova
CORRECTION - Serena Williams is the FREAKING G.O.A.T of Women’s Tennis…PERIODT!! 🙌🏽👏🏽
Maria Sharapova’s are a DIME A DOZEN!! 🤦🏽♀️
@lisaevans6000 dime a dozen to complete the career grand slam? 😂😂 make that make sense please!

Wondering 🤔
Did you sh*+ in your pants 👖 😮😢
Golden era of women tennis
When you watch matches like this, it’s amazing to see how much Serena improved from 2005-2016 where she really cut back on unforced errors
By the time of 2007, pretty much all her main rivals had retired (Graf, Hingis, Capriati, Henin, even Seles and Clijsters).

@@Nike5221 Dementieva and Azarenka 🤣
Two Grand Slam titles combined, that's some tough competition right there..
EVEN WITH THE BAD CALLS AND SHARAPOVA ON ENHANCEMENT DRUGS SERENA STILLLLLL PREVAILED LIKE THE TITAN, QUEEN SHE IS!!!!!
she was an error machine but somehow found a way to win the match. thats my goat.
Love Serena Outfit ❤
Yes, she is ROCKING that outfit!! There is nobody in the Tennis game today FITTED the way Serena was!! 🙌🏽👏🏽
I miss this kinda matches now at days female tennis is so devaluated. William's mentally is remarkable when's under pressure ❤
One of fav matches of all time!!!
They always played like they hated eachother.
Haha oh I think it's clear they did, more of Sharapova towards Serena tho
@@jrconn2…yeah, that’s how the regular BEAT DOWN makes one feel!! 🤭
One of the best matches of all times!!
Now this was iconic

The intensity and near-perfect play that Serena produced during that 2007 final was unbeatable by any player, then or now.
Agreed. Serena lived in Maria’s head forever after this one. I always think that this match is where Serena officially made the statement to Maria “you will never beat me again”. And then 2007 is when she repeated that statement in her face with a megaphone 📢
I love when people call this a “rivalry.” Serena leads the head to head 20-2. Lol
Sharapova sneaked in at Wimbledon. After that, it was downhill. Serena took her out.
What a great match Serena Williams did a great job defeating Sharapova
She was rather lucky, though.
When Serena gets quite WATCH OUT 😉
100 years will be needed before another type of like serena as McEnroe said, and I believe that
Serena had so much power with finesse.
Queen vs princess.
Princess of cheat lol

The greatest or the most important game in Serena's career, even more then a first US open title in 1999.
Serena was so fit ... gorgeous
Serena had the perfect body here
Serena is seriously filling in those short shorts 😅😅😅
Великая Серена, переломный матч, больше Шарапова никогда не выиграет у неё...
She really thought she had Serena. All that screaming for nothing😂
Current players just give up. Swiatek in third sets against ostapenko etc just give up. Dont change strategy etc. And she is considered as best thing ever by her cult

Even the slightest touch got a grunt. You'd think they got slapped.

Great Tennis!!! #SerenaTheGoat
Better shut Ur big mouth than U don't even know where U stand, period!
Prefer Bouchard: was clean!
Wow Sharapova wasted so many match points here…lucky Serena 😂
Champions always find a way to win.
She only really messed up on the first match point. The other two Serena saved with outright winners.
@@RaphaelBas1995she couldn’t find a big first serve on the last two match points .
Those were second serves.
@@dosensadif6585 They were still pretty good second serves. 150 and 151 kmh, or 93 and 94 mph. It’s not like she double faulted. She still had a good chance to win either point. Serena was just too good.
She did mess it up but Serena honestly saved those match points. Sharapova played like she was waiting for an error.
Poor Pova never managed to come close to a match point after this match.
