I'm back after 18 years. In fact, when I saw the video, I felt like I was going back in time. Here, Maria had won her first Grand Slam at just 17 years old. An incredible talent. Serena was then 23 years old. 6 years the difference was between the two then. I miss seeing Maria on the field playing. She will always be in the history of tennis!
no grunts, AND powerful serve pre injury. She's still a celebrated player, but I think she didn't live up to her potential. Can't get past the hurdle that is s williams
@@MB-px7en compared to Serena…no, compared to your average player on tour, YES. Also Maria would’ve won ALOT more slams if she wasn’t playing during the “Serena Williams era”.
I’m still shocked after all the years. Serena was at the top of her game! And Richard Williams showing Sharapova’s dad love was a class act, he knows the feeling.
Sharapova and Kournikova are two of the most beautiful tennis players. And the way they screamed was something. I'm glad that everything turned out well in their lives.
Hingis won it at 16, in 1997, and was world number 1 at 16 too. Women don't generally grow much more physically after age 16-18. So a woman can sometimes be the same height and strength at age 16-18 as she is at age 26.
Seb Fox Higgis was 15 when she won Wimbledon and yes woman do grow a lot physically after 16-17. Men and woman are pretty much their peak height by this age but they still have growth to finish physically in other ways
@@Kizdo69 Hingis was 15 when she won the Wimbledon women's doubles, but was 16 when she won the singles. She didn't change much physically from age 15-22.
How beautiful maria look here! Because of this match i follow tennis like phsyco in almost 15 years! This iconic match still make me searching out what time and where maria play until now, how crazy i am because of this beautiful memory
It's good to forget about "2024" for awhile and go back to 2004. At the end, we saw great sportsmanship (or sportsWOMANship?) as Serena hugged Maria and their respective Dads embraced too. Very Classy!
Around 2:20, Sharapova story. Mom in Russia without an american visa, dad working. All by herself, learning english plus tennis ! Then she beats the greatest player of her generation. Toff girl !
She screams big time. It's cheating gamewomanship. A grunt is one thing. There's another young russian woman doing it now. Thankgod most use their talent only to win.
I know her since her young career and personally she’s one of the best on tennis history. It just tragically the injury comes too soon and affecting her games so much. The haters just too blind and never want to try to admit her goodness. At the end of the day, it’s not only all about techniques and skills because tactics and how to be smart is one of the key to be a champion. And with all of the changes because of major injuries I think Sharapova did a good job.
Как же Маша была хороша 15 лет назад и красота и сила. Правда красота не делась, а вот сила... Огромный респект отцу Маши, как он в неё верил и как он был счастлив. Вот у кого надо учиться по воспитанию своих детей и вере в них.
19 años después y reviví este momento mágico. Qué hermosa y buena es Sharapova, siempre fui su fiel seguidor desde Chile. Me llegan lindos recuerdos de 19 años atrás y me da una nostalgia inconmensurable. Gracias a Serena y María, que nos dieron tantos lindos momentos a los fanáticos del tenis.💜🎾
One of my favourite Wimbledon women's matches. Simply legendary. I wonder if Sharapova would ever be tempted enough to come back from retirement for another Grand Slam title.
@@shawk2832 performance enhancers? Give me a break. Meldonium was used by many athletes for many years until WADA decided to cut it off. It hardly enhances anything. Unlike many other athletes, for instance, Biles in gymnastics, who is officially on drugs, WADA allowed her for ADHD. So, leave that BS. And Serena's muscles grew over time like a bodybuilder, of course, bc of holding a racquet.
For 11 years in a row, Maria Yuryevna Sharapova was the highest paid female-athlete in the world. It is estimated that she garnered a gross income of $285M dollars since her tennis career began in 2001. Her wealth comes not only from tennis, but also from various brand endorsements and additional business ventures. She is married to a handsome guy and has a son, Theodore. I think 20 years of tennis is more than enough for any woman to have to endure before she retires and is welcomed into the loving arms of her family and friends. I mean, really??
I've started playing tennis from the moment when I decided to make big shift in my career and tennis was a savior in harsh times of challenging new things. Now I watch this match, putting myself into Sharapova.. my tears bursting out when she makes her final win.Grateful to live in the Era of watching this match.
Спасибо Машенька! 16 лет смотрела твою игру в онлайн, теперь наслаждаюсь в записи. Огромное спасибо, ты подарила мне много хороших эмоций. Счастья и здоровья тебе и твоим близким.
1) Maria did not seem to scream at every shot back then. 2) her OCD routines is a bit painful to watch 3) she was an epitome of determination in this match
у Марии нет ОКР. эти повторяющиеся действия перед подачей просто способ сконцентрироваться и не думать что на тебя сейчас смотрят все камеры и многотысячная толпа

wow cant believe is almost 20 years... one of the best moments in wta history of the new century.... it was unthinkable that any girl could beat Serena at that time.. in a final.... but Masha did ...
17:48 this is literally the only time in her whole career she went for a shot like this. It’s so perplexing that she didn’t continue to hit angles like this going forward.
The first tennis match I ever saw, remembered flipping channels and hearing about Maria’s age (same as mine) caught my attention. Couldn’t believe someone my age was facing Big Bad Serena. DaMm im 31 now 😕
María te extrañamos, pero lo bueno esque están tus vídeos, para seguirte viento, eres una hermosa mujer, y también una excelente deportista, saludos desde Mexico y un abrazo
At 19, Sharapova had won two Slams, a wta Finals and had already been number one in the world (and the concurrence back then consisted in the likes of Williams sisters, Henin, Cljisters, Mauresmo, Davenport, Ivanovic, Dementieva, Capriati, etc). One has to wonder what kind of career she would have had without her shoulder injuries
Обратите внимание на эмоции Серены при награждении 17летней Шараповой, прекрасная спортсменка, прекрасный человек с удивительной карьерой и добрым женским сердцем. 24:45
Куда ж делось потом это "доброе женское сердце" ? Осталась несносная стерва, гневно и презрительно смотрящая на всё, что её окружает. От которой буквально смердило ненавистью ко всему, что ставило под сомнение её величие. Просто отвратительное зрелище.
Sharapova was a really exciting player when she first burst on tour like this. But this kind of game style is really hard on the body and on the mind. She took the ball later and later as her career went on, and the serve became less and less of a weapon.
The way Maria played is the only way to humiliate Serena. I’ve seen Serena lose, but this loss goes down in history. Sharapova played so freaking well. It’s insane.
The camera work and overall quality of this vid is amazing and it is not even HD. I feel like I'm watching a documentary rather than highlights. The commentators doing a pretty good job too, very professional compared to what we got in sports today.
I have followed Sharapova since this match until her retirement. Her game changed so much, some parts of it got worse with time unfortunately, like her serve so much better in this match she seems to be quicker between serves, the wind doesn’t bother her serve, her movement seems better. Not being the best mover, the most agile, the most athletic and not having the most wee rounded game didn’t stop her from doing really well. It is a pity the ending of her career was somewhat overshadowed.
She had dislocated her right shoulder a couple of times and overstretched it like ten more times during the carrier. No wonder her serve became worse. And still she's one of the best players this planet has ever seen! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
5 years the difference and beating the great Lindsay Davenport, Sharapova showed her best in this incredible final! Serena only 22, it was quite remarkable that Shara did it! Couldn’t do it since but maybe could do it again, surely this proves how great Serena is!
People love to slate Serena but she always looks so happy for her opponents when they beat her in Slam finals. Obviously she's hurt and disappointed... but she puts it to one side and celebrates the other players achievement. That is true class.
Andrew Mark I agree she handled this defeat with class I was sad she didn't win Wimbledon as she is my favourite player but I reckon she looked smoking hot with some of her outfits that she wore on the court in 2004 I had a massive crush on Serena back than.😍😍

Ambas son una leyenda en el tenis profesional y campeonas del mundo. Les mando muchos cariños y saludos cordiales desde Temuco, Chile 🇨🇱❤️💪🏆🏅🤗
Amo a Sharapova
I liked how Serena accepted the defeat and what conclusions she later made from it. A great tennis player.
Nice to see the hugs from both fathers.
María te extrañamos, pero lo bueno esque están tus vídeos, para seguirte viento, eres una hermosa mujer, y también una excelente deportista, saludos desde Mexico y un abrazo
At 19, Sharapova had won two Slams, a wta Finals and had already been number one in the world (and the concurrence back then consisted in the likes of Williams sisters, Henin, Cljisters, Mauresmo, Davenport, Ivanovic, Dementieva, Capriati, etc). One has to wonder what kind of career she would have had without her shoulder injuries
she is "very thin especially for she is a so-called eutopean , ...,
Вот фамилии. Не то что сейчас, однодневки.
lots of ifs there
Обратите внимание на эмоции Серены при награждении 17летней Шараповой, прекрасная спортсменка, прекрасный человек с удивительной карьерой и добрым женским сердцем. 24:45
И Циципас vs Джокович Роланд Гаррос 2021. Лицо у Степки как будто корову проиграл😐
Lier
любит девочек.😉
Куда ж делось потом это "доброе женское сердце" ?
Осталась несносная стерва, гневно и презрительно смотрящая на всё, что её окружает. От которой буквально смердило ненавистью ко всему, что ставило под сомнение её величие. Просто отвратительное зрелище.
@@Сява-ч3ь ты о чем?
Sharapova was a really exciting player when she first burst on tour like this. But this kind of game style is really hard on the body and on the mind. She took the ball later and later as her career went on, and the serve became less and less of a weapon.
Shoulder injury
@@zarni000 Yes, I know it was the shoulder injury. Which is why I said that her game style was hard on her body.
I also wonder if that loud shreik with every shot took something out of her.
The way Maria played is the only way to humiliate Serena. I’ve seen Serena lose, but this loss goes down in history. Sharapova played so freaking well. It’s insane.
Humiliate? That's a joke. Secondly she had this loss voided because Sharapova cheated. All of sharapova wins are discredited
@@rickphilly1975 🤡
Absolutely humiliated Serena no doubt.
She never beat her again 🤣
The Sharapova fans are always doing the most! Head to Head speaks for itself!! 😂😂😂
A lot of class all around from all sides. Maria was it for so many in women's tennis - she was very cool.
The camera work and overall quality of this vid is amazing and it is not even HD. I feel like I'm watching a documentary rather than highlights.
The commentators doing a pretty good job too, very professional compared to what we got in sports today.
special snowflake щяыыыыыы
Фуйуфф
I have followed Sharapova since this match until her retirement. Her game changed so much, some parts of it got worse with time unfortunately, like her serve so much better in this match she seems to be quicker between serves, the wind doesn’t bother her serve, her movement seems better. Not being the best mover, the most agile, the most athletic and not having the most wee rounded game didn’t stop her from doing really well. It is a pity the ending of her career was somewhat overshadowed.
She had dislocated her right shoulder a couple of times and overstretched it like ten more times during the carrier. No wonder her serve became worse. And still she's one of the best players this planet has ever seen! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@KingFisheR00011 And, the most beautiful 🤩! A perfect 10!
sadly after the first shoulder injury her game was not the same, but she still managed to win all GS
Australian and US Open in New York are my favorite tournaments 🎾
After this match..i was waiting another and another match like this 😍😍😍😍 Loved both of them..superb...com'on
Серене респект за то как она воспринимает поражение.
реально это удивительно . у неё очень большое сердце .
посмотри историю их встреч и ты всё поймёшь))))
В книге Мария описала, что потом произошло в раздевалке:) Но на публике очень достойно, действительно, заслуживает восхищения! Матч потрясающий!
@@ekaterinazakharova779 расскажите что произошло, книгу не читала
@@СергейСуботин-п2д просто Серена знает, что никто не сможет её победить, только лишь на везении изредка
5 years the difference and beating the great Lindsay Davenport, Sharapova showed her best in this incredible final! Serena only 22, it was quite remarkable that Shara did it! Couldn’t do it since but maybe could do it again, surely this proves how great Serena is!
I'll never forget this as long as I live.
The respect at the end is so admirable… great moment in time from a 17 year old mature beyond her years…
I remember watching this match. Wow I can't believe 15 years ago and they are both still around...not bad at all.
Now they're both gone.
Serena officially played her last match losing yesterday in 3R in 2022 U.S. Open. Glad she finally retired.
Good riddance !
Messi, Sharapova and others unique of their time!
This is when Serena swore not to be beaten by Maria ever again after such a humiliating defeat.
Nope.It was over Maria taking Serena's boyfriend at the time,Grigor Dimitrov lol
@@radza81krstic64 loool
@@kurtstark9966 True m8 check it.
Yeah but in the long run. I think it's safe to say that Serena humiliated her way more, and worse throughout the course of their careers.
@@radza81krstic64 hahahaha in Soviet Russia he was both boyfriend
It’s the first time that I watch this match congratulations sharapova 🎉
Back then when sharapova was fast and powerful😩😩....
A FN doper
@@SalHardy nope. Get a brain dude. Meconium is not steroids. SW is only player in history to call the police to evade drug testers
yes, with the help of drugs
Doksh She started using it in 2006. This was 2004 🤦🏻♂️
@@Balladhoe i thought u get tested before every tournament
People love to slate Serena but she always looks so happy for her opponents when they beat her in Slam finals. Obviously she's hurt and disappointed... but she puts it to one side and celebrates the other players achievement. That is true class.
Andrew Mark I agree she handled this defeat with class I was sad she didn't win Wimbledon as she is my favourite player but I reckon she looked smoking hot with some of her outfits that she wore on the court in 2004 I had a massive crush on Serena back than.😍😍
Deep inside she knows she's better, I guess.
@@christopheranderson2648 she is a man
@@andrej0145no she is not, she is such powerful lady and so so pretty i would get so excited watching her play her earrings were so sublime as well.♥♥
Naomi Osaka would disagree..
Мария,ты прекрасная теннисистка и просто красавица!!!Спасибо за крутые эмоции!!!

Достойные соперницы друг друга. 🏆🏆🏆 Молодцы 👏
BEST Sharapova match EVER!!!
9:39 "Маша, давай!"
16:18 when Serena became Italian for a second 😂
True. She meant "what the hell am I doing?".
I hate that gesture arghttt
Hera ZR i don't get why. I live in Italy and I do it every single day
@@cristinazarnescu6848 It seems ridiculous to me. I just don't like it
Italian for a second?
Oh how I miss Sharapova on tour.
i will always remember that final
They were so young back then. Really missing that time
