It Is Time For Maria To Retake Her Rightful Seat On The Throne Of The WTA

NadalAgassi · Feb 2, 2012

When all else fails TMF posts the same pic of Serena over and over. Desperation and lameness at its finest. The extreme jealousy and rage of TMF over all the superior players his overhyped favorites cant ever match is a true sight to witness.

Oh, Hector Projector!

Mother Marjorie finds it very, very interesting that a "man" spends so much of his time, repeatedly talking so negatively about young, female athletes on a discussion board.

The rest of the board finds it disturbing that you:

1. are a male pretending to be female, yet think no one figured that out long ago.

2. Post endless attacks on the Williams family (even in threads having nothing to do with them), then make cheap comments about their alleged culture, beliefs, personal appearance and other matters you cannot know, which speaks to your true nature.

3. Launch assbrained threads about a player who never held any position worthy of your dreamed-up "throne," so with Sharapova's spotty record clashing with reality, we must conclude your sick agenda is the only motivator for starting pointless threads.

Only a gay male would talk so negatively about a woman the way you do.

Only a racist would talk so negatively about the alleged culture/lifestyle/appearance/beliefs of the Williams family (you do not know on any level) in the way you do.

Exactly. If a 19 year old Maria carried that kind of cottage cheese on her thighs, she was no athletic specimen. Compare 19 year old Serena to that image of Sharapova.

More reasons she has a pockmarked record at the majors.

So Maria never won W again, SO ??

"SO?" Thanks for proving how empty your opinions are, junior.

Wimbledon being the greatest of all majors always lifts tennis careers if one wins several or dominates at any time. For single winners like Novotna, she's damn near forgotten because she could not distinguish herself there (as the force her game suggested she would become). On that note, Sharapova lucked her way into a shock/fluke win, but she's been a washout at the event ever since, which exposes just how lucky a Wimbledon winner she was, and could not join the elite class of players throughout history to win the title numerous times like (for example) Martina, Graf, Venus or Serena.

TMF said:
Time is on her side...she still has many chances while Serena is over the hill.

Funny. By your own criteria for age, that means your other false god (Federer) is in real trouble, since the list of Open Era men at age 30 and over winning majors is incredibly short. See how that works, junior?

And since you believe in "fluke" slam winner, you can just include your beloved Serena for her fluke FO.

Serena is 6 yr older than her and that remains is Maria will have many chances in the future.

Poor TMF, relegated to trying to argue Maria at her best slam vs Serena at her worst (and still feeling to prove her superiority even there, LOL!). Why dont you try comparing Serena at the FO to MARIA at the FO. Since Serena who has actually WON the title there has been graded an embarassment by TMF, I guess that makes Maria, such a lame performer she couldnt even make a single FO final, a triple embarassment with a nice cherry on top there. Thanks for confirming that to everyone. Onto Wimbledon, Maria has her 1 title back when dinosaurs roamed, Serena has her 4 titles and 6 finals and counting. Anywhere else you want to go, I promise it only gets uglier at other venues. Truth is Mariatards cant even find one venue where her non-legandary record compares to the best player of her era, so they resort to having to repeat posting one photo of Serena non tennis related they have resorted to using for years, and make empty promises of wins to come for Maria which never happen.

The FO is not on par with Wimbledon no matter who won there (FO). Sharapova is nothing but a minor footnote to the greatest major and is not qualified to even stand in the shadow of the platform of great Wimbledon champions such as Martina, Graf, Venus and Serena.

Im still trying to wrap my brain around how Serena is an "embarassment" at the FO...a title she has WON and Maria is not and she has never won it, never mind her making only two Wimbly finals...EVER. And nevermind her maiden US open final. And nevermind her LOSING RECORD in AO finals. 1 win vs 2 finals losses I believe? 1-1 in Wimbly finals and1 win per what....9 USO entered?

Rubbish! They are both slam event. And since you mock Maria for her W achievement I can do the same to your idol at the FO, who is 6 yr older than her. So if Maria is bad for winning W + finalist, Serena must be an embarassment ?

If that's bad that she never won W(according to you) that means your idol(Serena) is even worse at the FO since she hasn't done NOTHING after her 2002. At least Maria made the W final again but Serena never made the FO final. Not to mention Maria is 24, who is 6 yr younger than OLD Serena. Time is on her side...she still has many chances while Serena is over the hill.

Ok but..you are failing to consider that given the fact that the last what...3-4 slams she hasnt even PLAYED Serena or Clijsters and hasnt won jack.

So how are you still assuming that with Serena or Clijsters gone, Maria will just rake in the slams?

Heck, in 2008-2010 with a half dead Venus, Henin retired and Clijsters retired and a part-timem Serena and Ivanovic, Woes-niacki and Safina as number ones, Maria managed ONE slam win.

Im not sure where you are assuming Maria will when 'many more' slams once Serena is gone.

Perhaps you are deriving confidence from the 2011 FO semifinal? Or maybe the 2011 Wimbledon final? Or maybe the 2009 USO QF? Or what about the 2012 AO final?

TMF has no believable explanation for that, as it is clear Sharapova's chances--whether Williams is there or not--are slim to none as other players proved. He cannot acknowledge this, because to do so instantly shatters any old, current and future attempts to sell a person who can't win by avoidance of those who own her in the sport. Now, she has a younger generation handing her beatdowns, so when is this window of major-winning opportunity going to open if she has to run away from veterans and newbies?

I think Maria's legacy will be beating Serena at 17 impressively, then subsequently becoming her lapdog.

In the historical context of greats, Maria will be regarded as the scrappy howling terrier, who picked up a few slams when the stars of her era were not at their best.

A Tier 6/7 great, she will be regarded as one of the few grandslam champions who had no net game or conventional volley.

Maria Yuryevna Sharapova can rest assured that her tier 7 legacy is secured, well done to her.

But I dont know if it is time for Maria to take her righful seat on the throne of being a tier-6 great, that one tier may be a bridge too far for her, time will tell.

Maria Sharapova signs £43m deal with Nike

• Russian nets most lucrative deal ever for a sportswoman
• Eight-year contract dwarfs Venus Williams's £28m tie-up

Maria Sharapova will be laughing all the way to the bank after signing a lucrative deal with Nike. Photograph: Bobby Yip/Reuters

No one can accuse Maria Sharapova of not planning for the future. While Andy Murray has been sporting his new range of Adidas clothing in the build-up to next week's Australian Open – a deal worth up to £15m over five years, including bonuses – Sharapova today signed the most lucrative deal ever for a sportswoman, worth $70m (£43m) to the Russian over eight years.

The deal with Nike, revealed by Bloomberg News, surpasses the previous highest one, a $45m contract over five years given to Venus Williams, the five-times Wimbledon champion. It would be a monumental deal at any time but especially so in the present economic climate, when companies are increasingly more reluctant to associate themselves with big sports stars.

The recent revelations about the private life of golf's world No1 Tiger Woods have put companies even more on edge. Woods is the first sportsman ever to pass the $1bn mark in career earnings, including endorsements, but Sharapova, who will design a series of tennis dresses as part of the deal, is clearly seen as a safer bet.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the moronic statement above is what happens when the gender confused subject is led by hatred and the most ill-minded agenda of all in our society.

The list of the greatest Open Era Wimbledon ladies champions most certainly includes the Williams sisters--no tennis tennis historian, sports journalist or fan ever denies that...much as you cannot stand this wonderful fact.

However, your own blind hated blows up in your face for the following: if Serena and Venus can't be mentioned in the same sentence as fellow legends Martina & Graf, then the overall meaning of such a stand reduces half-ass players like Sharapova to a state of utter nothingness in the annals of not only Wimbledon history, but the entire sport. Once again, this makes your starting of this kind of thread..

Yes, for all of the hype by 1930s-stlyed social-engineers like Mister Marjorie, Sharapova is a rather irrelevant player of her or any generation. So much for "Masha" being the queen of anything in this sport.

Hypocrisy abound!

Good golly miss molly, my eyes hurt.

Lets get this straight.

FIRST of all, Mother Marjorie, watching you vomit up these claims of homosexuality amongst Maria's male critics is like watching Maria hit a drop shot...it's hilarious and really tells you she's getting desperate! You betcha.

SECOND of all, I'm not sure why Serena is ALWAYS being mentioned in these types of threads, but for those of you who would LIKE to make the comparison, lets go ahead and do so.

S Williams def. M Sharapova 6-1, 6-3 (Stanford 2011)
S Williams def. M Sharapova 7-6(9), 6-4 (Wimbledon 2010)
S Williams def. M Sharapova 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 (Charleston 2008)
S Williams def. M Sharapova 6-1, 6-1 (Miami 2007)
S Williams def. M Sharapova 6-1, 6-2 (AO 2007)
S Williams def. M Sharapova 2-6, 7-5, 8-6 (AO 2005)
M Sharapova def. S Williams 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 (YEC 2004)
M Sharapova def. S Williams 6-1, 6-4 (Wimbledon 2004)
S Williams def. M Sharapova 6-4, 6-3 (Miami 2004)

So as you can see, Serena thoroughly owns Maria. In fact, we have to go all the way back to 2004 to see a match where Maria actually beat Serena. I think the bolded matches speak for themselves...Some pretty brutal beatdowns wouldn't you say? Sure Maria got the better of her at Wimby 04, but I think Serena has more than gotten revenge.

And I mean do we really even need to mention slam totals?

Oh, and for the record, Maria's earnings are not indicative of her abilities. One would think that should be obvious, but then again, look who i'm talking to.

Serena Jameka Williams is irrevelant in women's tennis. She is old, approaching retirement, and no longer able to win grand slam singles titles. She is the most underperforming and underachieving player in women's tennis history given her ability.

Ditto!

Serena needs to shift her focus on her second career. Selling nail enhancements on HSN.

Her 15 minutes in tennis has timed out.
