No thread for WTA's biggest superstar matchup? Maria has come out blazing and taken a 4-1 lead. :shock:
Well, that didn't last long. You almost made me search for a stream. Almost. We'll see.No thread for WTA's biggest superstar matchup? Maria has come out blazing and taken a 4-1 lead. :shock:
Maria should throw her racquet at her.
4 games in a row, 5-4 Williams. So far this tournament, Williams found great counters IMO. Sharapova takes forever between her 1st and 2nd serve; can't blame her given that she consistently put on the defensive on the return of serve.
Even if it's 6-2 5-0 40-0 in favor of Sharapova, I still think somehow Serena will win.
This is so true lmao
I see this match has already started. Im suprised the scoreline is so close, when they play its more about how many games Serena feels like giving her than how many Maria can earn.
Sharapova was great going 4-1 up, but after that she bottled it. Made 3 UEs to give Serena the break back and from then on hasn't played as well. Serena's been the same throughout the whole set, maybe served a bit better towards the end but that's it.
The set was definitely in Sharapova's hands until she blew her service game making three unforced errors.LOL
Clearly the match is all in Sharapova's hands.
We will ignore all the UE's that Serena made at the early part of the first set.

Serena hasn't been impressive for a while now, and she certainly didn't impress when she came back in that set due to Maria's level dropping off.Sharapova was ahead because she was playing well and Serena's low level of play and unforced errors

More like overheated. She started trying much harder than she actually needed on court, racking up the errors.Serena hasn't been impressive for a while now, and she certainly didn't impress when she came back in that set due to Maria's level dropping off.
3 UEs to give Serena BPs, as expected. Maria just can't hold it all together against Serena, Serena doesn't have to do anything remotely special to beat her. Just be solid enough and she'll implode.
Unfortunately Maria does not have the game to beat Serena.
She just doesn't.
It's competitive, and it might give Serena fits, but at the end of the day..it's not enough.
She has the game, just doesn't have the mentality. Can't give away cheap games against Williams whether you're in the lead or not, and that's exactly what she's done in both sets.
We need one. Bring it on!Where is the "Poor Sharapova, got destroyed once more, LOL!" thread?

Actually she was nice. She let Sharapova have a break lead in both sets, even letting her lead 4-1.Ok I peeked at the score. Haven't seen the match yet, but it's obvious Serena must have cheated :twisted:
She's so much stronger than the other girls,it's not really a fair fight. In 100 years,1000 years,I doubt we'll see another women's player so physically superior to the other womenSometimes Serena just randomly starts hitting so hard against Sharapova it reminds me of playing Topspin 3 when I maxed out my character's power, forehand, and backhand stat. Ridiculous power with ridiculous ease. I was hoping they showed the speed on some of those forehands Serena hit; I think some were 100 mph or higher.
