Maria Sharapova wins her first Grand Slam (Wimbledon 2004)

[a8aCOLPLAYa8a]

omg she and her father made me cry!!!!

[chelseafcfanisy]

Maria Sharapova is a true champion.

[ThePacemaker45]

i've been in love with sharapova since i saw her for the first time....

[TheZeeheen97]

i hope sharapova will wins more grand slam especially wimbledon 2012 ,, i hope she will win the wimbledon 2012 title ,, go maria go !

[Staryous]

I'm Italian and the commentary is great, the 2 reporters are soo funny!

Go Maria (and Serena too)!

[kelvinpyaeko]

i miss this fierce sharapova. now what we have is a mentally-relatively fragile maria with error-prone game with double faults. her serve is gone

[alexbusani]

these two are my favorite!

[paulinolondon]

That is the most stupid comment that somebody ever made here. Serena would never lose a GS for the sake of caprice. All the work she had to put in and also is about pride, records, and list goes on. She was the defending champion this alone is motif enough for a tennis player to fight for another title.Estagonandfire you are a booby.

[Pearldivaz]

I LOVE YOU SHARAPOVA! :)

[nothingbeatsawoodie]

i remember when we started texting after she won

[kiditaliano]

i love her laugh.. shes sooo cute

[Nat4Brendan]

1:02 "Hey, can I go into that crowd you're supposed to be guarding me from?"

"Yeah sure, go ahead."

[Wakipenda]

she's ice cold...

[Pain5155]

she was at her prime her lmao hahahah wat a joke

[TADiianak]

Omg es tan buena... lastima que perdiera el Wimbledon 2011 pero va a estar excelente en el US open!

[gaba0380]

Kvitova,,,,,,,,,,

[kiran2914]

[MyVebry]

[79alexmartin]

TIENE TODO PARA GANAR EN 2011



[OcelotDAD]

Sharapova to win this again, 2011.

[LBeretta92]

W tommasi&clerici (the 2 commentators)

[fack12x1do]

i loved this day FUCK WILLIAMS!

[hollywoodwerewolf]

he was one proud father that day.

[1fedfan]

this was an amazing match for maria- I mean she was only 17 years old and she beat serena williams!

[kgarvey68]

I can't believe this was 7 years ago, I still remember it clearly.

[Arkinko1]

hold on ? she was 16 ?

[magui13r]

@Arkinko1 she was 17

[Knightoftheorient]

@Arkinko1 She was 17 I know this cause she is the 2nd youngest women's Wimbledon champion after Martina Hingis who won it at 16, and cause she's the same age as me she's 24 now and this was 7 years ago so if u can do your maths! LOL :) Dosnt seem like 7 yrs though, barely seems like 2 yrs ago time goes so quick its spooky!

[MYBIGKINDHEART]

@Knightoftheorient even some of he past and present great players have won wimbledon and it was a while before than won it again and so maria has plenty of time to win it again but at least so far she has won it once as some unfortunately even good players have not won

[stemstar]

she is my idol!!!!

[Alexanderwhitewings]

A thin win a fat :)

[laluprasad111]

his dad was kissing her passionately....

[laluprasad111]

who was kissing her ??

[iamhanissofia]

@laluprasad111 her dad

[Skyhighblu]

umm, moreso than how she acts and all that, I look at where she came from and how far she went. It really is a testament of good coming out of bad.

-Venus supporter lol

[kiran2914]

maria to win this year 2011

[Jayz0288]

2:02 Looks like Serena is happy that Maria won. Did she let Maria win? Nah! This is the best video for me of Maria Sharapova winning the 1st Grand Slam at age 17. My, she looked so young here, so cute too!

[estagonandfire]

@Jayz0288 Somehow Ive got the feeling when i look at Serena's face that she let maria win aswell, I know I would consider doing it were I in her position anyway.

[Jayz0288]

@estagonandfire No, Serena did not let Maria win. If you watch the match, Maria totally outmaneuvered Serena. She played the game to perfection, of course, she was young, got nothing to lose at that time. I think Serena might have underestimated Maria's strengh & capability. Of course, everything I've said here is just my own opinion. This is the match that opened Maria to the tennis world!

[kelvinpyaeko]

@estagonandfire that's stupid of you to say. how could she let maria win as a professional athlete? may be if she were playing venus, her sister, but no way

[petunia0809]

One of the GREATEST WIN SHARAPOVA EVER HAD. ONE OF THE BEST FINAL AND BREAKTHROUGH IN TENNIS HISTORY.

[malikasafina]

I love how at 8:23 Maria notices Serena, and you can see on her face that she feels pain for Serena. You're such a sweet girl, Maria. 

[petunia0809]

@malikasafina Agree, you can see the change in Maria's expression.

[willydemon2]

Soo beautiful player, and great too!

[kelvinpyaeko]

it's undeniable that serena is such a sweet heart and actually big hearted....although she might be sometimes acting bad..but just in this video, she was so happy for mariah...<3

[theirland]

When i see that moment i want to cry.

[90phys]

Even though Serena lost, she was still very respectful of Maria. My two fave players :)

[simplypqz]

unbelievable... still... a 17 yr old... beats williams in a final....

[intldawn]

She so thin here! It's kind of startling because she is still slender but far more muscular now, especially in her upper body.

[chadygildy]

it seems like she didn't like how her father kissed her...LOL

[lelone22]

certo che il commentatore ne parla di stronzate

[shirgen6]

This is so beautiful to see, considering everything Sharapova and her family had to give up in order for her to achieve her tennis dreams.

[yuvalandspeed]

@shirgen6 I don't think that if they had such good jobs and a good life in russia they would give it all up just to take a chance on a 7 year old girl and seperate her from her mother.

[gregjeans2000]

@shirgen6 She didn't "have" to give up anything - it was her choice.

[Mrdesertnut]

I STILL cry when I watch this, Just a great story !!!

[urkoolxam]

Serena Williams @ 2:03 is priceless! GO MARIA!

[captainbryce1]

@urkoolxam I wonder why they cut off Serena's portion of the interview?

[zeeshanchaudhary9]

Hi Good it is ur First Grand slam tournmant Cngrtilation !

I like Tennis

[edhernan534]

i remember this day .. i was 14 .. she was humble and a great player. As of present day (2010) she is another story ... sadly to say.

[DrStrangelove10]

@edhernan534 yeah, totally agree

[TheLuduvine]

@DrStrangelove10 she is still the best. 

[DrStrangelove10]

@TheLuduvine  esperançosamente!;)

She's playing better than 2009... maybe she wins wimbledon :O

[TheLuduvine]

@DrStrangelove10 I hope so. 

[sabzspursfan127]

@edhernan534 she's not just another story she's history :)

[MYBIGKINDHEART]

@sabzspursfan127 she's also one of a few great players

[liliesevinyon]

Look at her today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is great!

[chan536leo]

she had a woman body back then...

[petunia0809]

I saw one of her videos when she was i think 15 years old (All Access). SHe really do love texting.

[danlagioi]

so funny her dad was hanging his leg up limping trying to get to her lol!!!!!

[petunia0809]

@danlagioi It's normal! Everyone will jump because of joy with her daughter winning the classiest Grand Slam ever! This was just so emotional!
