The peak of Women's Tennis is 2000-2015 - Venus, Serena, Sharapova, Clijsters, Henin, Davenport, Hingis, Capriati, Dementieva, Jankovic, Ivanovic, Mauresmo, Wozniacki, Azarenka, Kvitova. We were so lucky!
I would have taken it back a little farther because Evert, Navratilova, Graf, Sabatini, Seles, Hingis, Capriati, and Pierce gave us some of the best tennis. You could add the Williams' sisters into that group also, as well as Davenport.
Adding an interview or press conference to the highlights adds so much more to it. You get a little more context and a better idea of where her head was at when playing the match. Very appreciated!
That felt like a gladiator battle in the coliseum. Star quality we don't have these days. Venus was so fearless in this title run, and I love her winning reaction. At her best, on grass? Nobody could beat her.
Venus Williams fore hand was very lethal in this slam as well as Wimbledon 2007 and 2008. Sharapova played extremely well. Prime Venus on grass is just a different beast.
Venus’ athleticism is unique. I’ve never seen someone in women’s tennis moving like her, it’s a joy to see her moving in court and going after her shots, the way she jumps every time she hits the ball! It’s incredible! She would have been amazing in any sport that she played. I’m glad she chose tennis because I love tennis 😅
This was some amazing tennis. Maria was actually the defending champion so there were a lot of dynamics there. Both were hungry and capable. I still think Venus was the best grass court player of her generation win or lose. Has had many more wins though 🏆
this was really like a Royal battle...the runs,the hit,the scream,the pace,the volley,the competitiveness and btw this was the revenge for Serena।। ..What a match
Looking at this match, we see just how many weapons Venus possessed versus how many Sharapova lacked. Venus court coverage was phenomenal, her net play was incredible, her forehand was superb and her serve was amazing. She was a fierce competitor and was not about to lose this tournament. This is my absolute favorite match of Venus career and my favorite slam of hers.
This why I say prime Venus mops the floor with sharapova only thing sharapova did better in her career was that she was more consistent in the majors and sharapova and Venus did not play against each other consistently like Serena did I think we would’ve saw more dynamics and their matches if they played as much in my opinion, Venus would’ve edged her if she bought her best
@@westonmeyer3110 Hmmmm. Not what their head2head suggests. Venus came out of the gate beating Serena that is true. But Serena developed into the better player. Serena has the best serve, the better mental toughness, the better consistency, the better capacity to come back from set/match points, the better footwork,the better all around game period. That’s why Serena has 23GS titles. Thats why Serena is the GOAT. I will concede that at the net Venus is phenomenal, that’s part of the reason they have a 14-0 record when reaching doubles final but in no way is Venus the better player. Serena just wanted it more.
@@jobuck879 Venus said some short time ago how she regret not being as ambitious as Serena on court that maybe that would’ve made her won many more matches
Venus was winning Wimbledon in 2000 and 2001, and then Serena copied her result by winning in 2002 and 2003 and then Sharapova suddenly came to win in 2004, so you can imagine how much people anticipated this match in Wimbledon semifinal in 2005
The press acted STUNNED Venus could win. Sharapova’s 2004 title was earned. But I always saw it as her catching a rusty Serena at the right time. It was Never the Changing of the Guards certain* tennis fans wanted it to be.
@@seensay2132I know what you mean but Sharapova did went on to win 5 grand slams in her career across all surfaces. But was no changing of the guard Sharapova never won another Wimbledon title and only manage to beat Serena once after 2004 Wimbledon final. Sharapova lost 19 consecutive matches to Serena 2005-2019. The William sisters humbled Sharapova and this match is a perfect example she's couldn't compete with both William sisters at their best. Venus and Serena were too athletic and powerful for Sharapova.
@ism7588 I kind of get where he's coming from. The finals was more thrilling and interesting than this match, but I feel Venus played at a higher level in this match than the finals.
That was an epic match! Venus was just at its best super confident where nobody could beat her!!!!!!! That what I like about Venus delivery dominant qualitative tennis with no drama
In those years, I only watched the matches of their great generation! They're all super! And the fact that the sisters won twelve Wimbledon is beyond the realm of fiction.
Venus movement was amazing on grass it helped her win alot of Wimbledon titles. Sharapova struggles to hit through Venus. This match affected Sharapova confidence on grass she never won another Wimbledon title and Venus brilliance exposed Sharapova game. Venus thrashed her in 4th round Wimbledon 2007 was the first time Sharapova lost before the quarter finals at Wimbledon since 2003.
yes I think you are right, even she luckily reached the final in 2011 but got schooled by kvitova proved her wimbledon title was a fluke since serena had a off day and she didn't face venus.
Venus could have won this in two easy sets like 2007, but as usual she tends to have mini chokes or bad shot selection to make a match harder than it is. Not mentally strong like Serena and unfortunately this is why her career is always overshadowed by Serena.
Take away Venus's autoimmune deficiency and wrist surgeries and you can't help but wonder how many majors would she won? Obviously she had another 3-5 majors in her.
it mu it must been fun for Sharapova to have seen so many winners flying right past her, especially in the first set of this much. i bet that she /loved/ that.

Seles, Pierce, and Kuznetsova.

Right. def a revenge for serena.
Princess Sharapova vs Queen Venus, both my favourite, can't like to see anyone lose.

@@edson5735 Possibky with other players but not with Serena. Serena was just better at everything except net play.
5:37 This was Box Office tennis. Venus was avenging Serena’s shock loss to Maria just the year before in the Wimbledon final. This was war!
In-form Venus on fast surfaces has always been my favorite player to watch.
Even though this is a semi, to me it felt like Venus played two finals to win the championship that year. BEAUTIFUL😂!
My God the quality of their ball striking is unbelievable
Iga can't win against these two players at their prime.
women today is child's play
@@jonathanotukupe9939 very true.
@@krishnakumar2390absolutely you're right,, that's was other high level🙌
@@LuisReyes-tx6xl very true.
It was so graceful and queenly when they walk off the court together........I wish they do it again

I was one of those people 14 year old at edge of my seat this was a proud moment for us Williams fans blast from past
@@dayzour123I was 16 years old at the time edge of my seat. Glad Venus won that match

This match imo was better than the Final that year. Thanks for the upload.
You're welcome 🤗
Better than the Venus vs Davenport match? Really?
@ism7588 I kind of get where he's coming from. The finals was more thrilling and interesting than this match, but I feel Venus played at a higher level in this match than the finals.
@@ism7588 Davenport has no match for Sharapova ground strokes. What he said is true. Venus had a tough semis.
@@krishnakumar2390 I think Davenport had comparable groundstrokes to Sharapova, but she didn't move as well.
The forehand at 10:26 is out of this world. Watch her form as she makes contact. Perfection.
This was such a huge match… you could see Venus wanted this win badly, and wanted to win big. Both Serena and Venus always wanted to thrash Maria 😂
The early preparation of Venus on her strokes will always be a sight to behold. She doesn't get enough credit for how beautiful her groundies are.
That was an epic match! Venus was just at its best super confident where nobody could beat her!!!!!!! That what I like about Venus delivery dominant qualitative tennis with no drama
Thank you for making and sharing these highlights with us 🙏😊.
You're welcome 🤗
In those years, I only watched the matches of their great generation! They're all super! And the fact that the sisters won twelve Wimbledon is beyond the realm of fiction.
Plus double titles at Wimbledon so even more titles
I always loved Venus' movement in the court. Especially when she really wants to win a game.
Venus movement was amazing on grass it helped her win alot of Wimbledon titles. Sharapova struggles to hit through Venus. This match affected Sharapova confidence on grass she never won another Wimbledon title and Venus brilliance exposed Sharapova game. Venus thrashed her in 4th round Wimbledon 2007 was the first time Sharapova lost before the quarter finals at Wimbledon since 2003.
yes I think you are right, even she luckily reached the final in 2011 but got schooled by kvitova proved her wimbledon title was a fluke since serena had a off day and she didn't face venus.
I bet Venus said to Serena "I'll avenge your loss from last year" and she did it so BEAUTIFULLY! Out hit, Out ran, and out grunted the doper.
WOW !! JUST SIMPLY WOW!
Wow. Seeing the two of them together walking side by side off the court, astounds me how identical they are. I mean, they could be twins!
Realized I was watching a Sharapova fan channel when all the points Sharapova won were being shown in a set that she lost 1-6 🙄
😂😂😂😂u are wild😂😂😂
Venuz 👑🇺🇸 💋💋
I love venus moves❤
That year was meant for Venus. Her ball striking was exceptional. She faulted a bit in the final and davenport almost had her .
Thanks for the email Serena!!
Masha never beat a Williams at Wimbledon again after 2004.
It seem like Sharapova underestimated Venus. I could be wrong.
Of course, attending a match like this without returning home with hearing damage is already a lot
Many had written Venus off,big mistake
Sharapova juara bertahan Wimbledon 2004 melawan Venus Williams sang juara Wimbledon 2000 dan 2001 🎉🎉
Sharapova runs low on Meldonium at the end.
Swiatek perderia feio para Vênus e sharapova nesse tempo aí
Com toda certeza!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
JaJaJa...... go Venus !!!
👍
Venus could have won this in two easy sets like 2007, but as usual she tends to have mini chokes or bad shot selection to make a match harder than it is. Not mentally strong like Serena and unfortunately this is why her career is always overshadowed by Serena.
Not every match is the same and even Serena has fumbled leads in her career... Don't come for Venus unless you can actually do what she's done please!
Sharapova actually returned amazingly and made some untouchable shots in return game to break back. Venus didn't choke
Take away Venus's autoimmune deficiency and wrist surgeries and you can't help but wonder how many majors would she won? Obviously she had another 3-5 majors in her.
