That spin, that turn, that dance gets me each and every time thanks Serena I love you!
There will never be another. We were very blessed to have lived during her lifetime.
I agree tennis hasn't been quite the same without Sharapova
You have 40 comments glazing Serena lmfao
This was nowhere near Serena at her best. But she showed that you should never give up. Maria thought she won that match so many times, but Serena just hung in there... The GOAT!
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.
@@dosensadif6585 she's a fraud. A Melondium afraid queen. She believed the hype. It wasn't deserved because they said she was gonna dominate. She didn't.
both ladies had deal with heat
Every Serena fan always says "she was nowhere near her best" 😂 neither was Maria. Otherwise she would have taken those match points.
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 true but serena at her best wins this match in straight sets.
It will be very hard for the world to get a player in Serena's calibre to come.
What a matured player Serena is.
Her unforgettable backhand replies are superb!
And being built like a man😂

These were the last match points Sharapova ever had against Serena.
Whew…I just bust out laughing!! Never thought about it that way…😂😂😂
Wow, I was stuck there for a moment! You're absolutely right and how utterly devastating for Maria when you look at it like that!! 🤣🤣
Maybe because Sharapova is a doper and can't hang without dope

From this match until today, Serena never looked back and never lost another match to Maria.
You are absolutely right 😂
She could have easily lost this match, though. If she had, their head-to-head might have turned out quite differently.
@@fundhund62 i think serena's battle here was mental. once she shook it off that was it.
I remember watching this til the early morning in college. Live and screaming at the TV when Serena was down. After the two losses she had to Sharapova I knew this was gonna be a classic even in the moment.

Beautiful win, dear Serena. Congrats from the bottom of my heart. I love you as an extraordinary player and as an athlete and a person. I wish you all the best with your family life. You are very much missed.🌺🌺🌺
I love you serena
Wow...this is 15 years ago. Youd have a teenager by now. Its now 2020. Serena, Masha, Kerber match dont get old to me.
IDK if the commentators are aware but they keep mentioning sharapova sharapova sharapova. It's like she's playing by herself. They certainly have their bias.
That was just my thinking as well can't never give Re Re her due smh
the commentators' slant showed up on many Serena matches, especially when she played Maria.
@@Hammerton32i just came from watching one with Elena dementiva and the way 95% of their comments were on her and not equally on both players was a bit troubling, I thought I was overthinking it til I saw these comments. Was glad I'm not alone on this observation.
the tension in this match was off the charts
This kinda uploads are for people who have memory challenges of who Serena is...she started this journey over 20yrs ago and not when these antics can only remember about Osaka, Andreescu and Co... she's still the past, present and the future of 🎾🎾🎾💪👍#GOAT
Osaka couldn't even handle being number 1 or the mental pressure that goes along with it for even a year or so. Exactly...Osaka plays because of the Williams sisters. We want the new generation to do well but don't forget who Serena Jameka Williams is.
@@Vitaluv well if you gonna take it that far don’t forget to mention VENUS
@@wellsincewerehere773 Never!
Venus has an actual physical ailment, and she still didn't complain or make excuses. Her legacy is untarnished and set in stone. The Williams Sisters are legendary GOATs.
@@Vitaluv actually u misinterpreted the whole comment but ok girl! I was referring to whoever was mentioning Serena as the goat I said don’t forget to add Venus. But carryon
@@wellsincewerehere773 I didn't misinterpret! I was agreeing with you!
This is the match I think,that made Australia love and respect Serena as a great champion,fighter and person.
Yes! They were not a fan of hers for beating Kim in 2003 but were firmly behind her here!
Agree
I agree
Jmnny85- i was in love with Serena in 2004 when she started wearing those breathtaking earrings.
Maybe 2007 haha!
The commentators aren’t covert with their disdain toward Serena. They wanted her to be a loser and the jealousy is real
Exactly Mary Corolla and Pam Shriver..two players who were NEVER any good where for Sharapova all the way. Insulting Serenas game the entire match. The only reason Pam won ANYTHING was because she teamed up with Navratilova. Corolla just plain stunk up the court when she played
@@troyhaskins6107 yeah,corolla wants shirekpovnum to win,very obvious.
Thaaat's Why,....Nuthin' "EVEA" Mattered When Dopapova Would Play Serena Tha Queen! Dopapova,...Couldn't Nevea Game Another Win Since 2004. Thaaat's "FACTS"! SCREW THOSE IGNORANT COMMENTATORS! Jealousy Gets Ya,...."NO WHERE"!!😆😆😒✊💪
They are outright disgraceful with their so called commentary; they should be sacked
@Charles Jones and she dont like you look in the mirror bull face troll
I swear to God..this Sharapova screaming...cant take it
Seems like she is being tortured by Serena's returns. LOL
@@gloriaa.garcia3985 or the fact that Serena just had Sharapova's measure didn't beat Serena again after 2004.
I forgot how horrible her screams were.
The commentators went eerily quiet after the winning point. HA HA HA
Right? I wasn’t the only one who noticed
One of the best matches I have ever watched. Congrats Serena, you were unstoppable.🌹🌹🌹
Doksh- I absolutely loved it, Serena got her revenge from the 2004 wimbledon final, serena looked so beautiful in this match, i loved her earrings as well.♥♥
I am too proud of Serena !
This match was ugly. 54 winners to 104 unforced errors. Neither of them were playing well. Both were playing poor quality tennis.
@@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.
In my mind, this was a classic match with many great rallies, and the tension between the players always adds that extra something.
I consider it one of the top 5 women's matches at the Australian Open.
@@fundhund62 Yes and I disagree when people say most Williams sisters were good quality matches. There are a few that was very brilliant. Like Wimbledon, US Open 2008 match, top notch quality. I would say just as good as some of the top men's matches. Most of them were just ok-ish some of them were really bad.
As far as this match is concerned. When the unforced errors were almost twice as much as the winners it wasn't a good match to me. A closely contested match vs a great match is 2 different things. That's how I viewed it.
Definitely one of the best AO matches of all time.. and is also the start of Serena’s dominance over Maria. 🤘🏻
@B M-Y True but it was the start of the winning streak
B M-Y what I meant is the start of the decade-long winning streak of Serena.. but no doubt their careers would’ve been different if Maria won this match :)
@B M-Y This was the match that made Sharapova start doping, she got too tall but didn't want to lose her body image so instead of actually training like a proper athlete,learn tactics she just took drugs,screamed louder and hit harder.
You're right, this was the match that made Sharapova start doping...anything to try to beat Serena..and she failed...@@tanmythompson2081
Serena wore her down. She outlasted her physically, mentally, and intellectually. She MADE her submit. A beautiful thing to witness.
Serena knew how to handle her emotions and take her time. Sharapova couldn't control her emotions effectively.
Maria will continue to have nightmares about this match.
Serena almost lose in this match. you dimbwit. actually its a close match.
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.
@@user-gu1un7pb7k - Serena is just a better player than Sharapova is in any type of weather and on any surface. She vowed to never lose to Sharapova again. She cut back on her errors, started moving better and improved her whole game exponentially. Sharapova, on the other hand, refused to improve. Her game never evolved. She played her entire career the same way she played when she was 17 and winning. Stubborn.
Wonderful match, Serena 👍. You are a true legend.
After this match in 2005 they played on tour for another 14 years, played 18 matches all won by Serena and the scariest thing is that Maria won 2 sets in 18 matches
Novak D lmao.
Serena is obviously the best player in modern tennis. It doesn't take away from the fact that Maria did manage to beat her to win Wimbledon at the age of 17 which is a feat that not many other female tennis players have.
@Novak D Loser.
@@fedvvvv Of course, no one will ever take that away from her, but to see an all Times best like Maria not able to beat a player for 14 years and 18 matches is just unbelievable
Mr Twister you need to shut up. If she was on something, it’d be obvious by testing
Serena colonised Maria 's mind after this match. Forever lost her nerve against Serena after this. I think it was at this point in her career, after this gut wrenching loss that the Meldonium became normal routine. Sharapova was so exhausted in the final set she nearly collapsed. Pivotal point in this so called rivalry. Awesome match!
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 had no idea Sharapova had a hard time getting to the semi-finals. She literally started very slow leading up to this match. Maybe she thought she had it in the bag when won the first set easily.
Colonized, scrutinized, pasteurized, synchronized
She never had plan B when she was on court,all she could do hitting harder,harder hardereerrr without tactics,I rarely saw her hitting the ball behind her opponent.
what are you talking about? are you serious?
Maria acts psychotic when she gets a break or match point opportunity... all that intensity, all that practice and self pressure... still, not good enough🖤✊
This was legendary.
When there is a US postage stamp of Serena, it should look just like this.
Serena is still good at her age. She's one of the Greatest! A tennis legend.
But she hasn't won any GS since 2017 , as far as I remember.
@@ediccartman7252 No she hasn't but that won't detract from her overall greatness

@@minavamp2811 exactly. She would've had 14-16 at least with Monica with roughly the same.
This is when 'Rena came back with a vengeance on Sharapova's ass. Serena was like "ok, I'll give you those two wins you got in 2004, but that's about IT. PERIOD". And from 2005 to current, Sharapova hasnt won a match against her since!
@ You said it very well
Lol
Lmao
I think Serena always looked back at that year when 17 year old Sharapova stole that Wimbledon title from her after her Serena slam and used that as fuel to never let her win again lol wow
She said you tried it, I denied it!
This was a complscared match for both players,a turning point in both players careers
Definitely a classic for years to come
What a wonderfull matched wow great Serena💪💪
Serena wanted to chat at the net but Miss Pova wouldn't budge
why does the title say this is the 1999 Semifinal? It's the AO 2005 (it's been fixed. This comment now pointless.)
I was about to say. Sharapova would be 12 years old😂
wkwkwkw sharapova even reached her first GS final in 2004
Nothing warms the heart like watching The Queen beat up on Sharadopa.
Keebler Holley I totally agree she owned her but wow Serena looked smoking hot in 2004 that was the year I really fell in love with her this was 2005 and Serena looked so sexy as well.♥😍
🤣🤣🤣
Wow what a legend, the mental and physical resolve. Classic.
I miss the green hard court at Aussie open
I remember how people always used to say Serena looks like a man..what man you know look like this? Hell, Maria shoulders are wider than Serena, who looked thick and dainty during this era. She is and was stunning.
No way Serena looked like a princess wearing that gorgeous dress and those sublime earrings ohh baby that got me excited to watch her.❤❤❤❤❤
@@christopheranderson2648y María parecía una reina con ese cuerpo delgado y esa belleza natural
Sharapova hit a similar enough ball to Serena, but not quite as hard and not as varied. Ad Serena’s far superior movement and far superior tactical ability, and Serena was just a problem Sharapova was never going to solve.
Just imagine if Sharapova ended up pulling this off. What would happen then? It makes me wonder to this day what the H2H would actually be.
@@c.j.carney8432 Serena’s had some tough opponents beat her a number of times but she still would learn to figure them out. She would have with Maria’s one dimensional play. Osaka on the other hand has had her number due to aging and a less solid mental game
@@black_nebula Against Serena it's one dimensional I guess, but she was the second most feared woman in the women's draw for nearly 16 years. I wouldn't say it's one dimensional but a less effective version of Serena.
There is a few matches where you can see Maria being coached from the sidelines, but alas it never helped her against Serena. .
Another great look from Serena. I love when she used to wear big earrings.
NYCzora-so did I and in 2004-05 she wore the loviest earrings especially at the 2004 NASDAQ Open and at Wimbledon that and also the US Open she wore those lovely dangly earrings.

That roar from Serena at 15-40 gave me life😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love to rewind that part where she roared
Great job Serena. Keeping cool at the pressure moments was key. So happy she put a stop to all that noise coming from across the court. It's terrible and helps nothing. Tennis will never be the same after this era. Never as exciting and competitive. Venus and Serena made women's tennis. If not for them, I don't think tennis would be as popular as it is today. If she and Venus were at their peak today, they could beat everyone playing, including Barty.
Thrs H - i was so happy Serena won as well and she looked so slim and sexy back than as well.♥♥
@@christopheranderson2648 what's so strange is people tried to body shame her back then and she looked great. I'd trade bodies with SERENA today in 2022 because she's still sexy

this was the match that nailed sharapova in the coffin against serena until the day she retired.
Not sure about that. They didn't play for two years, and in the meantime Sharapova had to change her service motion due to injuries, which made a huge difference.
@@fundhund62 i am right. this match broke Sharapova for good against serena. none of the matches after this match Sharapova came close in beating serena, mostly were straight wins by serena over Sharapova.
I watch this match on utube at least 12times or more and the commentators were mary somebody and dick whatever..now both of the other commentators were americans and they just was worshipping sharapova..she was the next great white hope..because she beat serna twice the year before and in this match they just were all over sharapova especially mary somebody but boy did serna prove those too and all the haters wrong.
im so confused by this comment
Am not she is so right
My thoughts exactly Zachary. What a win for Serena, a true fighter. This is also one of my most. fav., especially when having an extremely challenging day!
Right, it was so obvious that Dick Enberg and Mary Carillo wanted Sharapova to win. Just crazy how biased they were while commentating on national tv. I guess Serena ruined it for them and she did not lose another match against Maria for the rest of Maria’s career.
Serena hit the net so many times during this match. The unforced errors were infuriating. 42:43 2nd set. 1:18:38 After this, Serena really began to fight back. 1:27:23 The match hit a new level and got really good with the deuces at 4 all in the second set. 1:38:24 I've got your number now. 1:49:15 3rd set. 2:16:18 Sharapova up 5-3 is when Serena really said now or never. The legacy building momentum is at stake.
Sharapova look very sad she's assuming that in the second set she gonna win but Serena don't allow 2004 it's enough for sharapova period and that was accident win for sharapova
I love this classic match. It was the day that Pova forgot
that she was lulled into a false sense of security by THE QUEEN OF THE COMEBACK: SERENA .
The beginning of the tennis career beat down!
I am grateful to have seen both Serena and Sharapova on different occasions. But I do believe that Serena Williams is the GOAT of tennis. The aura that the Williams sisters have is something just about no other female tennis players have.

I just love that match. Serena was outstanding 🥰🥰🥰
This is when women's tennis had mentally tough players.
Serena was definitely not outstanding. she didn't have as many aces. Her service game wasnt great and she had many unforced errors- things that Serena in her prime didn't/doesnt experience often. It was actually kinda hard to watch her have to dig deep to win.

Always put Serena Williams’ name before Maria.

Serena looked so good here
Serena will always be the greatest female tennis player ever, but for Sharapova to be so young here and give Serena such a fight? You have to give her her props, but Serena vowed after 2004 that she’ll never lose to Sharapova again, and she hasn’t.
This is Australian Open 2005 and not 1999 as what the caption said here.
As far as the commentators are concerned Maria won already
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.
@@dosensadif6585
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.

@@dosensadif6585 Ones sister being murdered I'm sure would have a great impact on the mentality it takes to play well in tennis. Just me thinking, which it doesn't seem you do very often.
sharapova got a humbling that year by the greats . losses to serena, henin, venus, clijsters ay the slams and a 6-0 6-0 demolition by davenport at indian wells brought her back down to earth
A foreshadowing of things to come for Maria!
1:58 anyone else get Power Rangers when you see the outfit? Just me? Okay. Serena and her outfits are always bold in fashion. She brought fashion to the tennis court, and Masha too.
Don’t forget Venus.
tatitunteja- Serena outfits were so eye catching in 2004 especially the US Open that year in round 1 She wore a mid drift top and a short skirt and lovely dangly earrings I was in love with her than she looked so beautiful, and here against Maria gorgeous short pants and a lovely top with those phenomenon dangly earrings I was so happy she won the Aus Open that year.
Venus
Serena matured a lot since this match. She started playing a lot smarter.
Serena with patience and perseverance takes the day, when lack of speed cheers and lackluster seems down
Diane Padilla- Serena looked beautiful here i loved her outfit and dangly earrings.
I love Sharapova❤❤❤
So damn high quility during 2000, all the game are so classic and legend. I miss the era with Williamses, belgiums, Sarapova and russians ect,,,,,,

@@christopheranderson2648 Now if Serena can get back to shape with let's say with 10lbs for aging and baby Serena could win another 3-4 grand slams. She has to get her fitness together! That is what is going to make the difference the tennis skills are still there without a doubt.

And btw, back then, Graf had to play Evert, Navratilova, Sabatini, Sanchez-Vicario, Seles, Hingis, Davenport, Capriati and Williams and Williams.
Ever played that Dunlop Max 200G racquet?
vanlendl1 Lol Evert and Navratilova were way out of their primes. The Williams were still in their teens. Graf’s only legit competition was Seles and Hingis.
@@worawatsr9803 I do not agree.
It's completely masterclass by the Super Woman : SERENA.
She is extraordinary
She is unreal
She is unparalleled
Ritwik Roy - Serena was so powerful and so sexy back than I loved her outfit and her earrings were so stunning I was so excited for Serena to win this match.
@@christopheranderson2648 First of all,she is an unparalleled Player.For that l respect her.
Она имеет себе равных 😂Венус ей равна как сестра😂и как соперник
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.
@@fundhund62 So??
Fortune favours the BRAVE & that's it
Ah I remember 2005. Was a good time. Almost wish they’d included the commercials from the broadcast lol
Just found this full match I watch this match live and the american commentors(Mary"whatever"& that other guy)were sooo rude to serna especially mary they wanted their blonde blue eyed great white hype to just beat serna down....did not happened in fact this was the turning point serna just owned maria for the next 14yrs..wow the queen
Yes the female commentator was very rude, especially where she says you have to wait for Serena that she takes long...,
++°
LOL whenever I see a Serena-Maria video NOT from 2004, I already know the GOAT 🐐whooped that blond girl ass 😂😂😂
I think you have a lil crush
@@isabellaspangenberg6550 just recognizing the GOAT Serena
That commentator got a problem wit Serena
I remember watching this match. it's great to see it again
Party Like It's 1999, Serena. The party was the announcement that there would be no more wins for Sharapova against Serena!
And then they never had another really competitive match again lol
Wimbledon 2010 was their last competitive match, I would say.
Well it depends how you define “competitive”. This match were the last match points sharapova ever had against Williams.
@@doriangray2020
Well, Sharapova has managed to take 2 or 3 sets from Serena over the last 18 matches they played.
What a mighty comeback 💚💪🏾✅🫶🏾
What a terrific match!
Sharpova doing a fist after every point was pissing me off 😭
And do not forget her screaming
