Yup unbeknownst to everyone at the time this is the match where her career would take a completely different turn. I always wonder what it would have happened if she didn't get this injury and kept playing. She was playing the tennis of her life at the beginning of 2008, amazing shot making yes but also great variety serves and controlled aggression. She would have only gotten better as the year progressed too... Shame
Sharapova was riding 18 winning streak going into this match (winning Australian Open, 1R Fed Cup, Doha) and Kuznetsova was always giving her some kind of trouble
The infamous match that she tore her shoulder in and her serve was never the same.
