This is my single favorite Serena match. All these years later, I remember this one. The troubling 2004-2006, her ranking, everyone writing her off, the backstory, coming into the tournament out of shape, working her way through and nearly getting bounced, and THEN..... this absolutely brilliant display of perfection. The whole story makes me so happy.
Terrence Wilson we need 25 so all the haters can finally shut the fuck up about margret courts old saggy ass 24 “slams” not even in the open era, her competition was shit and they still think she’s better than Serena.
@@arathgomez615 ikr? It was so insulting how they felt the need to announce that during the trophy ceremony when she won her 23rd. That fake-ass Court record was never mentioned until she passed Graf.
Oh Yes, I remember this match and screamed happily all the way through it. The press and announcers were calling Serena "fat and out of shape" when she arrived in Australia. They also thought that Maria Sharapova was the next BIG thing in tennis. She had beaten Serena at Wimbledon and they knew that was the way it was going to be from now on. Their bias could be heard in every match - especially by the women, Mary Carillo for example. The male announcers were not so much against her( I loved Dick Enberg - McEnroe wasn't bad either in terms of fairness.)The tennis world did not like Venus nor Serena very much. They loved Capriati, Hingis, Davenport, Clisters and the rest. I am glad she has proven them all wrong and my fervent wish is for her to win another major and retire on top.
I think that this is one of the most powerful displays of tennis that I have ever seen. This was even more comprehensive to me than the 2012 Olympics, because this Sharapova at her "best" so Serena dismantled the "good version' of Maria and not the slower one that we see now.
When I consider how people were saying that Serena is deluded and a lost cause at that time, I just find it amazing how some humans have the audacity to draw conclusions about other people going from mere facts. Serena was still 25 and was being already written off. At the end of the day she proved her naysayers wrong majestically. I would therefore say that one should never write another person off, for we never know what might happen in the next hour or day or week etc.
Ms. Damaskinos it's become the beauty and the beast. Absolutely no women in tennis can beat Serena. Bring on the men at this point because the women lost bad.
Can't really get my head round those snide comments by Pat Cash. How did he arrive at the conclusions that Serena Williams could not regain top spot? I wonder who is deluded now😂
This match really showed how great Serena is, she struggled and fought her way through the tournament, and in this match she utterly destroyed Sharapova who was supposedly the best at the time. Serena always sets herself apart with her tennis, there is none like her on the women's circuit especially when speaking from a mental perspective.
What made this match so senselessly violent for Maria had nothing to do with her...it was all the detractors, nay sayers & doubters who fueled Serena’s blazing fire all the more! Maria was the sacrifice who had no clue this crucifixion was coming! Serena played so well this day it was actually violent if that makes any sense lol
Maria Sharapova was the highest paid female player, in terms of endorsements, despite being way behind Serena in tennis accomplishments. Could that have been a source of irritation? But then we find out that Sharapova had doped for her entire tennis career - routinely taking a performance enhancing substance designed for soldiers to give horse-like stamina!
Where is Pat Cash today? Does anybody know? Was he ever hired again as a commentator? I feel like Serena’s attitude in this whole match was a finger to Cash.
Ben No, Sharapova said that she began taking meladonium after her surgery and this happened before. Anyway, I love watching Serena and Maria's match because I like it to go either way, a win-win for me.
Meldonium was a recent banned drug back at that time, it was banned only for a few months and Sharapova was taking the drug for almost a decade. Do you even know what the drug is for? Do some research! No necessarily people use these drugs for enhancing their athletic aptitudes. People do have issues regarding their health especially athletes in these type of sports where their ligaments, nerves, muscles, etc...can get so easily affected.
Maybe should get something that a doctor can prescribe instead of doing in secrecy and was taken for 10yrs damn what did she have that couldn't heal in 10yrs shit some cancer go in remission for that long before coming back that's even if it does.
Richard Williams was the first to teach his daughters THE RETURN WINNING POINT. No one returned a winning point immediately after their opponent’s serve until after Venus and Serena came on seen changing the game! Even the men, now, wanted to see the women’s matches. Exciting!!!
That's because women's serves are significantly slower than men's serve! Try hitting a winner off a 200+ kph serve, not easy! Your best option is to just slice return and keep the ball low as possible. Serena excels at punishing bad serves. She stands very close inside the base line, which stresses the opponent.
Rudy Ramirez Exactly! I don't get where the rivalry comment started from. There were some people who claimed Serena was afraid to play Maria at RG few weeks back so she 'faked' injury but I put it to them even if Maria end up beating Queen Serena, the records and stats will never be beaten!
What a match! It showed Serena's dominance. When she plays like that no body can even come close to her. She is the best tennis player. I bet she can beat many of the men too.
This match was the beginning of the end for Sharapova because from this match on she knew Serena owned her. Serena became stronger and better and I'm sure psychologically this match dented Sharapova's overall confidence. Deep down she knew she would never be able to beat Serena and would only win majors if Serena lost in earlier rounds.
This is by far one of my favorite matches from Serena! I just came here to see this for the millionth time before the first round match between these too tonight!! #US open 2019
To be fair to the Serena doubters, perhaps some of the commentators are not aware that not only had it been 2 years since Serena had won a slam, at that point, it had been 2 years since she had won a tournament of any kind. I never gave up on her in that time, always felt she was the best and would get back to it, but she really was at her lowest point when she arrived in Australia that year - she had even lost early in a tune-up. And she really did arrive in kind of dubious looking physical shape - she truly DID play herself into shape with all her 3 set matches and got better and better over the 2 weeks. She actually came of age this event and roared back to life because it had been a pretty dark 2 years for her.
Seriously tho, serena in her prime would probably beat any wta player ever. I'm not familiar with the older retired players so that's kinda hard to gauge. But i don't imagine there's been any player as relentless and ferocious
Yeah, Serena got really really angry when sharapova hit her...that was rude behavior of sharapova, she got frustrated....Serena really deserved the title...yeah...❤ U Serena
I remember this match like it was yesterday! It gave me so much joy! Pova was doping and at her best and it wasn't good enough for the queen! 👸🏾Serena is the best of all time!
I really enjoyed this video. Especially, with Pat Cash's evil hater comments toward Serena Williams included in the beginning of the match. Btw, Pat Cash wasn't the only former tennis champion & tennis critic who believed Serena Williams had No chance at beating Maria Sharapova & winning this Aussie Open & future Grand Slam titles.
There should be a human rights crime for someone getting brutally beat that savagely bad! Serena beat the *Meldonium* out of Sharapova so bad that Maria had to be taken off the court on a stretcher and portable oxygen tank! And I loved every bit of it!!!! Serena beat the white privilege out of Maria and reduced her to spectator status and took her to school for a vicious lesson that she’ll NEVER EVER forget lol😂 Serena has beaten Maria far worse before but this savage beat down is my favorite of all time! Serena Williams showed NO MERCY on Sharapova’s soul. She had a lock on Maria’s neck so tight that Maria couldn’t breath or see the balls and she standing *SIX FOOT FOUR* like a NBA player with fake blonde hair!! I feel like watching this match again!! 😂
Oh Serena, love her so much! Do you know who was her heroine growing up? Nobody! She said at the age of 11 she didn't want to be like anybody else. She wanted to be the best Serena she could be.
@Mehdi Arif if it makes you feel good to say that because your Maria got caught go ahead but when all know that only one person that got caught and held a press conference to apologize but Maria has moved on to play tennis again (not the best) serena dont need steroid fo beat her opponents she work hard at her game so they can't beat her.
Honestly the intense pleasure i get from seeing serena beat this girl can be compared to ecstasy. Thats how much i enjoy it and when serena threw up that racket...too good
Was Pat Cash serious with that comment? Geesh..Serena was so dominant in her early 20s, they forget she was only 25 at this tournament. That's plenty of time to get back on top and win tons of more Grand Slams.
MrJupiterjazz i think he did apologized to her. i dont him blame for runnin his mouth tho him bein a one hit wonder made it hard to fanthom the possibility of someone refusing to settle with past achievements. but who cares Serena has more than humbled her doubters ever since.
This is my single favorite Serena match. All these years later, I remember this one.

Sure does!!! Absolutley indeed it Still does!! Yayyyy!!😂🤣😊⚘💕
Mine too
dont forget all the foot blisters she had after this.
Announcer: Maria has never received such a spanking...
Serena: Hold my Gatorade.
Haha!!!!! Love it!
😂😂
yup 2012 olympics gold medal match.
ridedamaverick
you should watch London Olympics thats called a spanking too! :)
This beatdown replenishes, revives and renews me. Everything is flourishing now.
Aaamen!!🙏💕
Serena Williams vs Maria Sharapova at the 2007 Aussie final remains the most savage beat down I've ever witnessed. God bless CZcams.
I've seen her wipe the floor with many girls but she really brought out the big guns there.
Serena played magnificently
Or the 2012 Olympic final.
The Olympics 2012 Gold Medal Match as well. Haha!
Carlisias j what about olympics 2012
This was not a match, this was a mercy killing.
GracefulDan
GracefulDanny and she was pregnant
Elaine Lewis Not in this match
😂🤣
A Killing without Mercy!!
Love to see the doubters faces to learn that irrelevant '06/'07 Serena would win her 23rd slam 10 years after this match...
Inediblehulk Freaking glorious. I wonder if she can make 24 at the 18 AO
Terrence Wilson If her mind is clear and relaxed/She is UNBEATABLE💯
Terrence Wilson we need 25 so all the haters can finally shut the fuck up about margret courts old saggy ass 24 “slams” not even in the open era, her competition was shit and they still think she’s better than Serena.

Same wish list!!
You are exactly right. Chris Fowler was always very fair too in his commentating.
Mary Carillo was horrible. I was glad when they got rid of her...awful..
one of my favorite things on the Internet. always cheers me up
Norma_ott I know right! it doesn't ever fail to cheer me!
😁😂😂
Norma_ott 👍🏾
I love looking at Sharapova father super red face...ha.ha.ha.
Y'all have no chill 😳😂😂😂

Tyron Harris best of drugs.
Sometimes I feel like Serena Allows these girls to win games just to have the last serve.
lmao

Jo Taylor True!! Wisdom never lies cant c how folk think any other way..It pays 2 b honest with ur self seriously.
Jo Taylor Spot on! People that make such statement are speaking from a place of hatred and envy but the will often deny it.
Preach , preach sooo true!!! ThanQ!
If she was WHITE they would have never said the things they said.
"I don't know if it's a good idea to get Serena angry"....It's NEVER a good idea to get Serena angry
I love seeing Serena beat Maria, always put a smile on my face.
Ms. Damaskinos There was meaning to that beatdown!
Ms. Damaskinos Maria Sharapova is the best OK
me too!!!!
Richard Chawngthu Best at what? Cheating? Losing?
Ms. Damaskinos it's become the beauty and the beast. Absolutely no women in tennis can beat Serena. Bring on the men at this point because the women lost bad.

Who????

Gloria Washingon you and others!!
He is an Aussie, the most racists people around, but for some reason their institutional racism goes unnoticed and unchallenged.
Yoooooo. Serena had somewhere to go after.
mariam lol..right?!
You could see Oracene cross armed was like, girl Serena get this done ASAP I got a nail appointment!
watched this back in 07 and i wasn't aware of the headlines...and they are even more laughable now that she is seeking for her 24th slam.
When I need happiness I come back to this video and it never disappoints

U right.
Yes, she worked her way into shape in this tournament. Totally dominated the #1 player at the time. She always snatches Sharapova's wig. 😀
i Love serena..she is legend...and she is so a ispirator
Ahmad Solihin
Such an inspiration? Yes she is😁 🇺🇸
Tracey Austin,Pat Cash said Serena would lose this match-Serena heard about Austin's comment before the match and well the rest is history...
I always liked Austin, until she put her foot in her mouth and made that comment about Serena losing to Sharapova😮😮
Say no to drugs, the doperpova lost. This match and Olympic 2012 match beat down always cheer me up.
grape roberts Never got tired of watching that match- London Olympic2012.
I LIIIIIIVVVEE. still on it my all-time favorite forms of savagery in beautiful motion.
She sure gave Maria a trashing for the history books that day

Pat who? The washed up tennis player from yesteryear...is he still alive?
Yup a fully extended middle finger to pat cash
This was a win over drug. She should be awarded a heroic star for beating this drug star like a thief that she really is

Please, Seles did it before anyone else
This match was the most dominating I have ever seen with a player who was number 1 and at her best.
Oracene looked like she needed to rush off to an appointment and was like ‘Serena let’s get this done ASAP!’
Boy do I miss Serena. Please come back soon and show the rest of the WTA how great tennis is played.
this has never been a rivalry, Justine and Serena was a rivalry
Rudy Ramirez Exactly! I don't get where the rivalry comment started from. There were some people who claimed Serena was afraid to play Maria at RG few weeks back so she 'faked' injury but I put it to them even if Maria end up beating Queen Serena, the records and stats will never be beaten!
I feared Justine Henin more than Sharapova.
What a match! It showed Serena's dominance. When she plays like that no body can even come close to her. She is the best tennis player. I bet she can beat many of the men too.
I think this is where the Meldonium decision kicked in. Her heart started feeling faint.
Johnsy Chery she was already popping Meldonium. just increased the dosage
Johnsy Chery 😂

i really love to watch their matches especially when Maria always beaten by Serena
I Think that you don't like Sharapova :-)
Sorry for your belief!Serena is flawless when she plays against Masha
And this was when Maria's serve was still good.... Imagine now.
Serena was like “ who’s the greatest? Say what?”
This never gets old.

That is Serena at her best. When she plays like this no one can beat her. Wonderful match.
When she outplayed inform Petrova I had in my mind that this is hers.

Wow! I'm really enjoying your Serena Williams videos. Truly Epic stuff. : )
Lmfao winning serve game after 0-5 and saying " come on" 😂😂😂😂
Rosie Ale lol lol.
Violent Beatdown....this aptly sums up this game!!!😅😚
Yeah, Serena got really really angry when sharapova hit her...that was rude behavior of sharapova, she got frustrated....Serena really deserved the title...yeah...❤ U Serena

Pat Cash couldn't cash that check, huh?
Yes in olympics Serena won her 6 0. 6 1
We knew u had it all along i had just had surgery u beat the stitches. Out of her wow
Remember this match...very impressive

Btw, Pat Cash wasn't the only former tennis champion & tennis critic who believed Serena Williams had No chance at beating Maria Sharapova & winning this Aussie Open & future Grand Slam titles.
She should have been stripped off those titles. she doesn't deserve to be second best
Ben she's not second best, Venus is.
Venus Williams is second BEST!
Serena would’ve been, though🙄🙄🙄Her career would have been over
0:10 that was the Shahar Peer Match I think. Serena was super aggressive that whole match and Shahar was giving it to her good!
Number of Aus opens she won is a slap to Pat Cash's face.
One of the best matches ever!
Serena williams was really NOT having it this match, she didn't come to play😂😍
If I was Sugarpova every time I have to play again Serena Williams ,I would called sick or just disappeared.lol
Isn’t this the match that Sharapova was reduced to tears? 😭
There should be a human rights crime for someone getting brutally beat that savagely bad!
Serena beat the *Meldonium* out of Sharapova so bad that Maria had to be taken off the court on a stretcher and portable oxygen tank! And I loved every bit of it!!!!

Oh Serena, love her so much! Do you know who was her heroine growing up? Nobody! She said at the age of 11 she didn't want to be like anybody else. She wanted to be the best Serena she could be.
she said she admire Monica Seles a lot
I love what Drysdale said 'an expression of Omnipotence' great phrasing
A beatdown on Maria. Serena just completely suffocated her all over the court.
I bet Drugpova forgot to take enough Meldonium before this match
She forget always to take drug v Williams. Sharapova is always beaten by Serena
Cosmic Con can you come up with something else damn.

Anyone here after the us open 2019 beatdown?
This is the moment Maria realized she will never beat Serena. But she would do everything to stop everyone to approach Serena.
What a great edit! Thank you ❤
Please bring back the videos. Thanks
Dont like serena much but this is surreal and never seen a statement match in tennis like this one. Love it.
She had one against Mauresmo at the French Open...she destroyed her...
Serena destroyed Maria in the final of the 2012 Olympics another slaughter
STUNNING!!!!
Serena Big Booty Williams is a tennis legend
She's already dope with drugs in this level but still can't beat serena
😂😂
Was Pat Cash serious with that comment? Geesh..Serena was so dominant in her early 20s, they forget she was only 25 at this tournament. That's plenty of time to get back on top and win tons of more Grand Slams.
To be honest, I never felt sorry for Maria but this time my heart goes out to her! Well done Queen @Serena love you!❣
Yuri clapping 👏 for Serena 😂😂😂
Wonderful match. I wish we can see the whole match.
Serena is the best tennis player so far in history. Better than Stefi, better than Roger, better than, insert your favorite player here.
does anyone else get chills at 7:14
I do! I keep rewinding that part
Toby Clarke: I certainly did. That was the PAYBACK for the hit at 4:00 (or there about)!
Most savage beatdown in history
So Sharapova yelled "come on" just like Serena did in a Match and she didn't get penalized.....hmmm odd
After AO 2005 SF Sharapova lost the momentum.
Well ur right, but save your time.... She isn't second best
..
Conquer or die was Sharapova's slogan in her early period.
Serena took the throne “like a boss”
Serena loves to give double bagel to world number ones. At least beat them convincingly 😂😂😂😂
If I am not mistaken, when her father was describing his daughter's playing, he said Serena was like a dog with a bone! She proved him right!
That's AWESOME TENNIS!
Thank you very much publisher
BeastMode!!
This cured my depression
epic
One of my favorite matches...Serena beat Sharapova's brains out and completely embarrassed her to make a statement. Lol
Sharapova is world number here.. but then Queen S is back to teach her some humility
Has Pat Cash ever taken back his comments?
MrJupiterjazz i think he did apologized to her. i dont him blame for runnin his mouth tho him bein a one hit wonder made it hard to fanthom the possibility of someone refusing to settle with past achievements. but who cares Serena has more than humbled her doubters ever since.
serena is on fire... such a pleasure to saw sharapova beaten by serena...
Oh wow!!
Yes Serena Williams!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy mother of Jesus that was an assassination.
8.08.. now serena is on top list with 7 titles
