Ugh. I miss this era of women’s tennis.. The Belgians (Clijsters and Henin), The Americans (Serena, Venus, Davenport), The French (Pierce and Mauresmo), and The Russians (Sharapova, Dementieva, Kuznetsova, Petrova, Chakvetadze).
All of them are good to Legendary players.
oh just feeling the same
You missed safina and myskina ,vaidisova , i loved that period , i think the level was so much higher
I wouldn’t say Chakvetaze or Petrova are legendary but I agree with all the others
@@crazycatpetera1404 he said all are from 'good to legendary'. Not saying all are legendary. And no the only legendary ones really are the Williams Sisters, Davenport and Henin
Aaron Wilkins Davenport’s a legend but Maria and Kim aren’t 🤔🤣
That was such a great comeback in the second set by Maria, those MP saves were epic
Sharapova giving Clijsters a kiss after losing just proves Clijsters is loved by everyone on the tour.
Clijsters is a classy player,I love her so much,she's gentle
Or she is attracted to her lol,,,>:) :)
I think Clijsters is one of the few players that Sharapova actually liked and admired (for her perspective after defeats).
Not sure anyone disliked Kim, one of the friendliest players I'm WTA history. Maria on the other hand...
Yes she mentionned her in her Book as thé most likeable girl in the tour
"This is Sharapova's strength: her ability to play her best tennis on the most important points." Very true.
Her biggest strength was meldonium.Everybody knows that, whether they admit it or not.
Well, not really...
@@slamecatzwell5544 it's just gets banned a month ago at the year of 2016 bcz it was used by many athletes on the European countries.
She didn't take meldonium in 2005
@@RameshKumar-ud5uk Don't explain to brainless people. They don't understand anyway. They will argue with you to prove their stupidity. They need to check their brain first, before they will understand simple logic.
I’m here for these kind of matches.
Cameron Sykes me too
Melodonium looks good back then
@B M-Y exactly... This guy is stupif
d*
@B M-Y Sharapova did have a drug problem. She drugged up for the tennis courts and got drugged by Serena 20 times. No wonder the poor girl shoulder hurts.
Kim Clijsters was one of my favourite female tennis player in my childhood days...
She is cool
Geez, both were relentless. Sharapova with the nerve of steel during match points and Clijsters always returning one or two extra balls with her speed and court coverage. Those balls were enough to end points with most players but not Kim.
The Scary part about this Sharapova is the fact that she had a big serve like Serena but when her shoulder got injured and she had the surgery it fucked everything up for that serve and what it could have become!!! A big weapon
@@dosensadif6585 but her biggest injury was getting caught doping . That changed everything.
@@dosensadif6585 the truth hurts right? 😆
@@slamecatzwell5544 doping not it's about politics.
Biggest Kim Clijsters fan from Finland💪🏻
Thank you for these Clijsters matches
Biggest Kim Clijsters fan from Philippines💪🏻
Brix Benavidez Capulong lovely to hear that 💪🏻
Biggest Clijsters Fan from Philippines 2. haha :D
@@GuyRandom101 Cool.
Anton - I'm Kim Clijsters biggest fan from Australia and I wish she was my girlfriend I love her so much.♥♥♥😍😍😍
Sharapova saving 5 match points from 0-40 to eventually win the second set is EVERYTHING
Yeah but she still lost the match.
Quarantine days maria sharapova is stunning and beautiful! Kim looks very calm and down to earth! 😍😍😍 those are the days...
Brently sams Kim looked very pretty back than as well she had a nice figure back than. ♥♥♥😍
@@christopheranderson2648 its true bro😍
@@brentlysams3966 I was in love with Kim back than she was my favorite player.
@@christopheranderson2648 its true bro hope to see her give the best tennis she have.. 😊
@@christopheranderson2648 neither of them were pretty or beautiful.
1:21:27 masha's turning point in her mental game, WHAT A COMEBACK!!
This is when Sharapova played with no fear and didn't have the mental scar tissue of beatings by Serena
that monster of woman, freak of nature has beaten everyone not just maria.
It was also before shoulder surgery in 2008. Her game after the 2008 AO was different due to the shoulder. Not everything is about Serena.
Clijsters was the best
Серена трансгендер.
This scar only aches when facing serena.
Ah yes, two great semifinals in 2005, Pierce v Dementieva being the other. The early to mid 2000s was a great era for womens tennis, I went to a lot of tournaments in Europe back then and saw a lot of these great players.
Who won the tournament?
@@milanic7267 Clijsters beat Pierce easily in the final 6-3 6-1
Wow. Marias forehand was so different back then 😱
Sharapova, the last Teenager who became world number 1 in WTA circuit.
Kim Clijsters moves like Djokovic, especially the sliding
🤣🤣🤣
You mean djokovic moves like Kim
Trần Minh Quang please do never compare ATP with WTA.. they are completely different levels!
Jon Jones Still, Clijsters was doing it first...
Clijsters was the pioneer of sliding on hardcourts. Djokovic and others followed suit.
Amazing rally on match point 1:21:45
Ill never understand how come Kim doesn't have at least 15 GS trophies. Her tennis is just super clean, one of the best ever woman to play tennis
TruthRodianOW: She was awesome but the competition was really tough back then, especially Serena and Henin...
She couldn’t get it together between the ears plus all of her injuries
Hmm. Kim is physically superior and can move very well. It's her mental game that is the culprit in her early career. She does go deep in most tourneys but when faced with equally strong players, she sometimes crumbled. Thus, her GS trophies were won later on in her career when she reaches maturity and I guess gained a lot of experiences. Also during her time, it was so loaded with many great to legendary players (Hingis, Pierce, Davenport, Henin, Williams Sisters, Sharapova, Mauresmo, to name a few). Peak Kim and Post 1st childbirth can crush many top tenners today. :)
2 main reasons, first her mentally. Clijsters was notorious for being mentally fragile, and can somehow lost a match she all but won, or made it harder like this one. Second, the high competition with the Williams, Henin, Capriati, Mauresmo, Sharapova, Davenport, Demetiava.
@@kidpagronprimsank05 I firmly believe if she could have beat Capriati in the 2001 FO final in which she was so close to winning multiple times, that would have opened to floodgates to her winning multiple GS and possibly the Serena slam doesn't happen.
miss Maria
kim prob. the best receiver even today, kudos for amazing camera.
Maria I love u & Missing u a lot
Thanks for sharing this Maria Sharapova match. It's hard to find quality video of any of her matches.
Marina jugaste excelente👏 ambas son buenas bendiciones❤❤❤🇩🇴
I'm watching this while waiting for 2021 final.
Great game by Kim.Well done 👏❤️
I can hear Sharapova's screaming even with my sound muted.
Beautiful Maria 💖
Roman Elias - I love Kim Clijsters she is so pretty.♥♥😍😍😍😍
I’m obsessed with maria! Love her
@bigray1999 nobody cares about your opinion
bigray1999 Meldonium is literally the equivalent of taking aspirin or ibuprofen in Eastern Europe - you don’t even need a prescription or a pharmacy to get it. Don’t fall for the media propaganda
@@crazycatpetera1404 making excuses for Sharapova again. Lol
Faisal Calderon - I was in love with Kim Clijsters back than I had a massive crush on her and I would always watch all of her matches.♥😍
@@crazycatpetera1404 Oh that's nice. Why didn't she declare them in her TUE for 10 years? Right.
Please, 2006 women's singles final
NO stupid
No screaming from Maria
Maria♥️♥️🙏
I love these two women!
Amazing tennis 🎾
Rarely seen Maria hit her racket to the ground at 1:01:24
Other times were Cincy '14 vs Halep, and Indian Wells '14 vs Giorgi
Wish Masha would’ve remained this sweet. Loved the embrace at the net.❤️
she couldn't remain sweet because the meldonium steroid finally got to her brain .
none of her achievements should be acknowledged in tennis history because she was on drugs.
.meldonium is a natural resource for athletes to use for healing and recovery.
She was always like this with clijsters.
WOW!!! Sharapova before screaming?!!??
Maria clearly serve better here than later in her career
That point at 2:01:37 is poetry in motion!
A final between Clijsters and Dementieva would have been sooooo exciting!
Sharapova was so quiet! awesome!
Great match! I remember watching it live. These two were very evenly matched and had very comparable achievements during their respective careers.
Why do we see the fist 2 games, tied 1-1, and then the beginning of the 2nd set? Did it air this way?
Sharapova is definitely showing A+ skills but in this match she is inconsistent unfortunately. Kim's speed is so incredible, probably the fastest woman in terms of reaction time
Turbo flex - I agree and I'm a massive fan of Kim Clijsters so I was just so happy to see her finally win a slam.
Maria
before watching this, I can guess Sharapova didnt win this because she only won titles at even numbered years.
I was thinking of this...
My favorite part is the Beatles song at 1:38:00
ILove you
im eagerly waiting....😎
2000s player> 2010 gang of pushers. Kim was athletic like any pusher but has forehand and weapons. Henin could serve in 110 mphs range. No wonder kim destroyed wozniacki every time they met. Frankly new gen looks interesting with great playstyle after a dull decade . Naomi andreescu gauff. Future is bright.
We’ve had some awful pushers indeed but also the exact opposite, i.e more and more brainless ballbashers, especially amongst the generation that is coming. Look at Ostapenko, Yastremska, Sabalenko, Potapova you name it. To me they are horrible to watch
@@Fedthebest75 i see at bigger picture. 2020s decade's future looks overall good compared to mid to second half of 2010s decade.
1:21:45 Intelligent change of pace. You don't often see moonballs from Maria.
Yes, the was a very smart play. Not sure why she didn't use it often.
Thank you for the the video (excellent match), but please don't add bright blue frames to 4:3 videos. It's distracting and they would look much better if just left as black borders.
Too many ads in the damn video like the US Open needs more money from the amount they already rake in every year ffs
Yeah
0:52 "She must have very very supple groin muscles". That is good news for her significant other.
David James 🤣🤣🤣
One of the commentators was just jizzing himself looking at Sharapova. Sickening.
How could Sharapova play so bravely at those match points in the second set? Why she wasn't nerves?
Maria was always very clutch throughout her career. She was both brave and reckless, but rarely played safe. Even on match points.
@regulusarcturus this is what separates her from the other greats together with her mental toughness.
The 2 men commentating were AWFUL!!
Where was the Sharapova scream?
Totally with you on both points! They were dreadful and boy was Maria quiet back then!!🙉
those where matches
Wish they'd edited out the sitdowns at changeovers.
She was not so lucky 2 years before against Justine Henin in Belgium (Ciney)
here Sharapova seems somewhat less noisy than in later years; maybe not. Wondering about another venue....she must go off like an air-raid siren.
the meldonium started taking effect in the second half of the second set when Sharapova finally got the effects of the meldonium
Hey there meldonium was totally legal and legitimate supplement for conditioning and healing tissue. The tennis association never informed maria of the banning of the product. And it wasn't even on her medicine list. It was just as a vitamin supplement.
Hi
Clijsters is giving too many balls back to Sharapova. She should put the ball away from sharapova during returner serve and also to put more drop shots cos Sharapova's weakness is her movements.
👏👏👏👌💪👍
How come the Shara is not making those disgraceful screeching noises when she play each shot?????
Does sharapova ever win?
She's a multiple slams champion.
She won when williams sisters were away
@@jansmarco7842she still beat them too. Not as much but she did😌
need to dislike this for youtube to know that so many ads in between are really irritating. lol.
You know dealing with thieves are like a bank account you wait till they own u mills put them in jail and it all comes back love 💕💕💕💕💕💕
This was before Sharapova became Shriekapova and made all that noise. This proves she didn't have to do it and only did it to cheat and get an unfair advantage. And on top of that, she was juicing.
A this time; it was posible to watch a Sharapova match!!!then; older; she started screaming .....and had to pay me to watch a match with her....awfull...
Ad-fest......stuff it
Meldonium use at its peak😂😂
the shrieker vs princess fiona
Shut up
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 they're both still queen 🏆🏆🏆👑👑👑👑
queen vs saint sin
Clijters was always a bad player her game was weak i don't even know hoy she won a GS
Just no. Clijsters was one of the better players in the game. Power off both wings, a great returner and terrific court coverage.
By far the stupidest comment in here.
Wozniacki,Zvonreva,old venus & defaulted serena aren't tough.
By winning more points than her opponent…it’s called math
