Wow, just look at that Quarter Final line up : V.Williams, S.Williams, Justine Henin-Hardenne, M.Sharapova :bowdown:.

@lostintranslation901 Watch her interview with David Letterman where he commented that Maria is quite a female specimen. He was completely in awe of how gorgeous she is. Yes, traffic will come to a full stop!

@kevin12061989 You're the only one saying that Maria will dominate tennis...& r u a psychic by saying that Maria thinks she's the next Big thing? Maria plays according to her capability. Comparing her w/Venus & Serena is like comparing apples & oranges. The Williams r muscular, Maria is d lean model-looking one. Comments that she was prettier then than now, of course, she ages like everybody else. At 18, she's playing the best tennis she could muster, & against Venus who is physically bigger.

couldn't have said it better...look at her now...a sad case! excuse after excuse after excuse for her repeated bad play and low level of competing!
-
So glad the williamses and Justine humbled her over the years because when she arrived, she thought she was the next Big thing and that wasn't true at all, sure she won some slams but Never Never will she dominate women's tennis, she doesn't have the credentials.
-
Yep but it was on clay, on HC, she would have won.

Yuir. needs looks like a pimp.

Yeah but both have been on grass, which is Venus's best surface. If they play at the Australian Open or the US Open, I'd put my money on Sharapova. Venus's forehand and second serve are much more attackable on surfaces other than grass. Which explains why she hasn't won a major other than Wimbledon in 8 years.
-
Yeah, Venus killed her in '08 at the Hong Kong Exhibition. This past year, she beat Vera Zvonareva in her final singles match.
I think Sharapova was a better mover before she grew 2 inches, but since than her serve has improved and her shots have more zip on them. She's also way hotter now than she was 4 years ago. Her face has matured and her body has filled out. She has looks that could stop traffic.

it's interesting what you say.. i have the same feeling. in 2005 she move better and served better but she didn't won a major back then.. and she won us open in 06 and australia this year.. playing unbelieable tennis so.. to me she is an unpredictable tennis player but i love her!!!
