      Thank you. That's why people who say she was would only play Sharapova when she was at her best is a laugh. Serena took a vow that whatever was going on in her life if it Sharapova was on her end of the draw, she was gonna do everything in her power to beat her to a bloody pulp-pulimariy embolism, bad knee, pregnant, flu or whatever else. This was personal. Cheaterdopa made it personal by being an awful big mouth. She let the media hype her up.

      she never had a game as explosive nor versatile nor agile like serenas
      Serena was able to learn power players games over time and then never looked back against them
      just like she did to davenport who would bash some of the balls way harder than she could.
      that's what she did to Sharapova. Serena has the ability of creating supreme power even on the back foot which most girls have never been able to do . this creates more angles against shapaovas and davenports who are not known to be able to run down balls well enough
      Maria has not a single shot that was better than Serena .... forehand backhand serve return agility volleys overheads
      nothing .
      she could par Serena if Serena didnt go on the backfoot.. once Serena starting going on the Blackfoot and still creating power and angles, Maria never saw the light of day.
      please give Serena her due .. she has been the most dominating player for over two decades now .
      only Justine for a few years could beat her with a change of pace and precision.
      so Justine gets her due for those few years
      Serena otherwise is the goat clearly in all of history until a new girl can come beat her records.

      I think the main factor is outlasting her mentally. Both players looked sluggish and trying to end points ASAP by the end of the match - it was a very hot day and a long match they played. But Serena was laser focused and took her chances when she needed to. Sharapova had several match points but you can see with her reactions after some of her misses how tight she was, she wanted it too much and didn't control herself enough. I think in this match Serena's experience and her instincts as a match player got her over the line. She knew how tense Sharapova was getting in the big moments and applied pressure big time.

      ​​​@@secrets.295That's a bit harsh. Every closely contested match will have quite a number of unforced errors, particularly if one of the Williams sisters is playing 😂 It's just their thing, blast every ball as hard as possible, and if you hit 100 unforced errors in the process, not a problem if you hit 110 winners.

      She was very lucky to win. You act as if her victory was a foregone conclusion, but it could easily have gone the other way.

    It was a huge mental block removal for Serena to pull this win off. I think it just made her even better.

      Serena's next major win was the AO 2007. She came in the tourney ranked 82 and slaughtered #1 Maria 6-1 6-2.

      What contradiction? Your assessment is correct. I don't think she even won any tournament in 2005 0r 2005, partly for being out due to injury. That is why she was ranked in the low 80s prior to the 2007 AO. Serena really only lost one match to Maria and that was Wimbledon. The 2004 WTA finals she was severely injured and could not serve over 50 mph during the final 2 sets. Serena almost pulled it off though by leading 4-0 in the third set before losing six straight games.
      She should have retired in the mid second set, but it always causes outrage among her detractors.

    The title of this video is wrong and misleading, year was not 1999 but 2005! Is this really the official channel of the AO?
