Maria Sharapova vs Venus Williams 2007 Miami Highlights

[potterfansteve]

Looks like it was an entertaining match to watch, shame they didn't show it on my sports channel! :(

[kelvinpyaeko]

venus being gracious as always at the handshake

[filipelj]

oh yes, oh yeess, yes, yes, yes, oh yes, oh yes, yes, oooohhh yeeess, ohhh yes, oh yes, yes, yes, yes, oh yes...I got it;)

[Hokit]

Now THAT was the Maria who won Slams - the clenched teeth, fist pumps and intense shouts. And I feel bad for Venus. If hawkeye was present, some of those close calls on important points could've made a difference for her.

[DreamBoye]

@Hokit it's cool, she got her revenge at wimby

[Joelll96]

Yes.

@MrPenuswilliams1980 how sad must your life be if you made an account to troll the william lol i feel pity for u :/

[Matty0288]

Wow! You really impressed me Rubies2503! I must say your command of the english language is exceptional. Are you an english teacher? And you do fight back! You have guts & I admire your commitment to Maria Sharapova. I have to caution you though, some of the people making comments here may not be within your league, so you have to know when to call it a day!

[rubies2503]

My last reply to you, Kevin. This exchange of comments is boring me now. Got lots of more important things to do, so, Kevin, HASTA LA VISTA! Good luck with your continued hatred of Maria S. I feel sorry for you that you cannot enjoy her money!

[kevin12061989]

@rubies2503 you're really getting childish and immature, you stop the conversation when someone doesn't agree with you. Telling the truth about Sharapova doesn't mean i hate her, i like seeing her on a court but i am not dumb to admit that her game is trash these days, it's reality buddy, hopefully she'll play much better than that

[djollyboy]

@kevin12061989 kevin, I should advise you to not waste your time with this "kid", he/she is very immature and seems a little pshyco. deep down inside he feels threatened of the fact that serena might be better than his favourite player, and thinks that can be changed by trying to proove to everyone that serena is just good because of her muscles and what not; I tried having a mature disscussion with him and he went all nuts, what a douche

[rubies2503]

Maria Sharapova entered d tennis world w/a bang! Sports enthusiasts were all in awe of her exceptional tennis skills & of her stunning beauty that's beyond our comprehension. She threw d media in a frenzy. Long-term endorsements came, TV interviews, appearances, have made her d highest-paid female athlete in d whole world. It is not her fault that she is a beautiful tennis player! She wasn't just a player, she was also a Star. Yes, I am glorifying her because she is one of a kind.

[rubies2503]

The YES man, indeed, a commentator who isn't well-versed with words, how did he become one in the first place. In order to describe a play, a person should be well equip with the different terminologies of tennis. There must be a shortage of commentators for them to put this guy on this game.

[kevin12061989]

@rubies2503 I love Sharapova, but before making excuses for her losses each time, tell her to go fix her serve. If you don't agree with me, you're delusional, SHARAPOVA CAN'T SERVE TO SAVE HER LIFE, it's the truth and you know it.

[milot1masha]

During the period when no one could have competed with the Williams Sisters Maria was there and beat them and gave them tough matches. She is a great fighter. The sport needs her :)

[rubies2503]

@milot1masha If only Maria had the muscular looks of Serena, she might have won a lot of matches against her. Serena almost has the physique of a man, & Maria of course with her lean model looks. Yes, Maria gave the Williams sisters tough matches!

[kevin12061989]

@rubies2503 When did Maria give Serena tough matches since 2006? Those 6-1 6-1 matches? And as i remember Venus almost thrashed her all the time they played against each other at wimbledon.

besides i think it's rich coming from you by saying that she lost because she's not muscular. Really? everyone knows Sharapova hits as hard as Serena, her defeats have nothing to do with muscles. And what about Vee, muscles too?Just excuses from your part.

[rubies2503]

@kevin12061989 Kevin, Kevin, every player is different from each other. What you read here are just comments that come from us, people who know nothing about the ins & outs of tennis. Sharapova has to save her life from WHAT? She is the highest paid female athlete in the whole world, Serena has not even topped the money that she has earned. Maria can quit now & enjoy her life to the fullest outside of tennis. She doesn't owe her fans anything. She has done her best!

[rubies2503]

@rubies2503 Also, make up your mind, are you a Maria fan or a Serena fan. For somebody who likes Maria, you sure thrashes her with your comments. Rather unusual, isn't it?

[kevin12061989]

@rubies2503 i love both, you don't have to necessarily love one and hate the other. Good for you glorifying Sharapova but me i don't make silly excuses for her play. Instead of insulting her opponents like Wozniacki or Serena, you've got to recognise that the russian doesn't have a serve, she makes double faults ALL THE TIME. I f you don't see that, you're so blind, her game is sooooooooo weak right now. I'm a fan but i'm not blind

[rubies2503]

@kevin12061989 What silly excuses are you talking about. What I am saying here is JUST AN OPINION! Just like everybody else. Am I not entitled to my opinion? Maria doesn't have a serve now, but she did before. If her game is so weak right now, why did she reached the semi-finals at the BNP Paribas? Admit that you hate Maria, you are certainly not a fan of hers! OMG, you envy her! You are a fan but you are not blind, SO HOW DID YOU BECOME A FAN OF MARIA?

[kevin12061989]

@rubies2503 As for her endorsements, i don't fanboy over that, she doesn't give me an inch of that money, i don't give a fuck about that. What i like is to see her winning , playing to her potential and not being in an ad.

[djollyboy]

@rubies2503 I don`t mean for anything to come off offensive, but It just bothers me when people say things that shows they don`t know much about the game; serena`s racquet is very light and she needs those muscles to generate her own power. some women on tour produce that kind of power withought having muscles like serena`s, so dn`t say that if sharapova had serena`s muscles it would be easier...and btw the more power you have the harder it is to keep the ball in, power doesnt make you win

[rubies2503]

@djollyboy Name another player as muscular as Serena, bulging thighs, arms triple the arms of Sharapova! She needs those muscles to generate her own power, WHAT??? Why, are you a coach, that you claim to be so knowledgeable about tennis? Only a coach would know those things, not you! So butt out!!!

[rubies2503]

@djollyboy And my comment was addressed to milot1masha, not you! You are not part of our equation!

[rubies2503]

@djollyboy Also a comment is a comment, not an in-depth analysis of a fact. You mean to say, everytime you make a comment, you are an expert on the topic? And do not accuse me of not knowing much about tennis because you don't know me. I do not wish to initiate a conversation with you here! So sayonara, adios, hasta la vista!!!

[djollyboy]

@rubies2503 rubbies, please...relax, I`m a fan of both women, stop being so deffensive i`m not one of those "haters" who have nothing to go and bash these women, If you can have a conversation with almost everyone on this webpage then dnt I have my freedom of speech? anyways, I am not aa COACH, but I play tennis seriously and I know everything about the racquet serena uses, IT is about 10 ounces! the heavier the racquet the less power you have to generate

[djollyboy]

@rubies2503 I have a heavy tennis racquet and it produces too much power for me even, making it hard for me to control it and keep anything in...serena will swing so hard and you will sometimes see the ball dropping on the service line, of course spin is needed for that but please try to understand me, i`m not calling you stupid, I`m just saying it bothers me when people try to say stuff that implies that serena is only good because of her strength....

[rubies2503]

@djollyboy So you idolize Serena, let it be! We are not disputing the fact that you are a fan of her. You want us to say that she is good in all aspects of her game. If she were, she wouldn't be losing matches, In fact, she has lost a lot too to manydifferent players.

[rubies2503]

@djollyboy So you idolize Serena, let it be! We are not disputing the fact that you are a fan of her. You want us to say that she is good in all aspects of her game. If she were, she wouldn't be losing matches, In fact, she has lost a lot too to many different players. Every player has to lose, like everybody else! Let's just say, she's one of the better player in this generation of women's tennis. This will be my last comment, & PLS. DO NOT RESPOND!!!

[djollyboy]

@rubies2503 LOL so apparently my attempt to make peace has failed, you`re asuming ridiculously and all heated, i`m not going to lie, I do like serena, but i am not biased, I like sharapova as well, and what I said had nothing to do with liking serena, its a plane fact that I understand not because of watching tennis, but playing it seriously; you are just trying to conclude that I want you to think that serena is the best, stop mistaking me for others :D

[djollyboy]

@rubies2503 btw, being the best is not something you or I get to decide, its a quality that lies withing the person,so stop letting people get to you for anything, everyone has different opinions, dnt stress yourself :P

[rubies2503]

@djollyboy Who said I am a stressed out? Djollyboy, did I not say I DO NOT WISH TO CORRESPOND WITH YOU, PLS. STOP SENDING COMMENTS TO ME OR I WILL BLOCK YOU OUT!!!

[djollyboy]

@rubies2503 ok so apparently you want me to speak to you this way: you`re just another person who feels deep down inside serena is the best and it bothers you so much you must go on youtube and act like a fool; is that what you want me to say? cuz when i was honest and nice you kept stressing, btw YOU ARE STRESSING! get a life and stop telling everyone crap on this page and stfu

[kevin12061989]

@djollyboy Thank you buddy, i tried to have a nice conversation with him, but he just kept making excuses. Just one of those people who can't handle that Serena is better than her faves, that's all lol

[djollyboy]

@kevin12061989 Exactly! but ppl like us dnt have time for ppl like him...we have lives xD

[djollyboy]

@rubies2503 and i dnt care if you block me, you might just say one last nasty thing then block me like a coward, go ahead, I`d make me smile cuz i know I was right

[kevin12061989]

@rubies2503 you're the first one to say that you're entitled to your opinion but when someone else does, you start whining, anyway keep living in a fantasy, as for me, i tell it like it is, Sharapova doesn't have much of a game right now that why she loses against boring Wozniacki, a player she should thrash 1 and 1. That's all bye

[djollyboy]

@rubies2503 again i dnt mean anything offensive, as i said on my first comment to you, stop taking stuff so offensive:S no need to get worked up :D so if you took what i said as something offensive plz dnt reply back, I dnt have time for another person like that online

[rubies2503]

@djollyboy Well, you started it by responding to my comment to milot1marsha. Stop making comments when you are not being addressed to!

[rubies2503]

We've just seen Maria before her injury playing w/tenacity & skillful strokes which she executed to perfection. Can't compare Maria with the Williams sisters who are muscular versus lean-model looking Maria. She could have won 10 more grand slam titles w/out d Williams. Today, with her wealth & 11 yrs. of constantly playing the field, Maria has lost that tenacity, of course, her injury also played a part. The presence of Sharapova & the Williams is what makes the women's tennis a joy to watch!

[LukaFilipovic442]

The commentator is one of those people who just can't say NO....lol!!!

[PrafDeStele17]

lol, i think he is the producer of the "YES MAN!" movie

[vozas]

Maria was moving so well in this match. She was just fluid much like she was in the AO2008. She runs after the ball. She hits and keeps her feet light even if the point is over. Bah

[SinginIsMyThing]

definitely one of the best matches I've seen these two play! I wish Venus would have come out on top tho!

[tigerswell]

hehehehehhhehee sharapova's screams just make it so funny. great playing, but hilarious.

[SuperP13]

WTF is this guy?? The YES man!?

[nezy11]

i love it when thr girls scream at each other on intense points and it gets louder and louder

[azjmsxhn]

still trashed by serena in the next round =P

[abercro800]

can you please upload the complete match! thanks

[manolobeta11]

exquisite match!

[ossifiedjazzbo]

"yes." "yes" after almost every point.

[Murraypova]

@ossifiedjazzbo ha ha i noticed that after i watched it over after saving it, i thaught people would notice it lol
