She's number 1 in the world now so great predicting lol

Si jaja esta dos son las más gritonas del circuito

Agree, although Sabalenka is better, her ability to hit a winner from anywhere even on accident sometimes it seems is something maria never had and Saba is far more athletic being that she's not as tall

Sharapova was never talented is it was not for the meldonium she could be the same lever as Sara Errain.

Sharapova fans keeps of talking about her shoulder she is 100% ok only that when she sense a defeat her fans talk about her shoulder as if her serve was the best in the world. If Maria has gone through what Serena has been through, foot injury, losing both her lungs, racism and giving birth to a beautiful girl last summer, how can Sharapova deel with that?.

@adam Zabokrzycki she won two grand slams before taking meldonium, a multiple time grand slam winner isn’t mediocre

@@rubyruby4368 bullshit coming out of your mouth

It's not that thing, have u seen Sharapova shoulders?it's completely deteriorated.

My thoughts exactly. I never thought her game itself was anything impressive, she's excellent at what she does, hit hard and doesn't go away, but her game is very limited, very one dimensional. I do believe she will retire soon if she's not able to make any headway with her rank, especially if injuries began to be the norm, mainly because she's won everything a person dreams of and she has set herself up to have more than enough income off the court.

@@rachray83 true!!!

@Shinobu Tsurubushi if Venus had meldonium to push her through she'd definitely win more but yeah. Venus is almost 39 and still beating world class players.

Guess this is an example how drugs can really help someone out, take them away and you have just a regular hard hitting non controlling player left

@Shinobu Tsurubushi what the hell Venus has to do with this? You idiots always manage to bring up Venus or Serena.

LOL

deepak mahajan that’s why Osaka has bad record of pushers lol

@George Rusch another idiot talking nonsense...and SIRbalenka looks closed to 30 then 19.

ManBearPig I don't think so. Go watch Tianjin open. See Sharapova play without injury. And of course without meldonium.

@@alexisgrande782 I was just going to say this. People seem to forget that she is A five times grand slam champion

@@TrungNguyen-nq6wg a befitting reply Trung Nguyen. And that time she was not on drugs or anything

Ur a hater. Tell me where is she now? Sharapova already has 5 slams.

deepak mahajan she’s an aggressive player, but she’s not a power player.

deepak mahajan finishing shots does not mean power player. She’s just aggressive and can keep the ball deep, but she is not a power player lol

You probably never watched tennis in 2004-2010. She had incredible power in her younger years, comparable to Kvitova now.

I get what you mean, she hits flat to the open space no matter where she is on court and for a power player she does tend to stand a lot further behind the baseline, but she does it winners and overpowers players so she is considered a power player, but I get where your coming from.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZd-ia5eppnTpp8.html Watch this and tell me that she wasn't a textbook hard hitter.

No the drug was legal all the years she had taken, how u say it's doping?

Stop the silliness, Sharapova doesn't "grunt" at all when training, which means it's a changeable habit.

@@thangvuong9196 Training is not the same as competing. Grunting helps players to release the tension and the anxiety. It's not a changeable habit and even if it was, it doesn't mean players should change it just because people can't stand it!

To be fair sharapovas shriek has been very consistent in her whole career, what I do not like is player like halep, svitolina who have only recently started grunting on tour like 3 years ago, or sabalenka who just changes between uhhhhh, ahhhh, ayyyyyyaa, oooooo. To me that's not fair when its changing but as someone who plays tennis grunting does help with breathing, but I do not shriek, mines completely natural and is very quiet and I'm a Male, vesnina is also another horrible grunted. Once you get used to a grunt it's just a rhythm but sabalenka and vesninas changes which I think is more if a hindrance than sharapovas or azarenka.

@@nathanlarkin9890 You're right about that. It's changing all the time! However I am so attracted to the power and strength of the shots of Sabalenka that I don't mind the grunts.

Grigoris gkegkas The men grunt just as loud. They may night screech as much, but they make a lot of noise too and no one says anything.

@Egyptian_Thoth, What you must understand is the sadness in the male commentator's voice upon the realization that Maria Sharapova was not only losing but getting a beatdown left, right and center, and just so happened to be injured at the right time. He only perked up when Maria got some points but was sad for the duration of the short-lived match. However, even with all of this discussed, the saddest part for me is knowing that there are many genuinely good tennis players out on tour who are still playing tennis at different levels who Maria denied from becoming multiple Grand slam champions!

@@17sunnyhour Yes, so sad and disappointed. Maria cheated so many for so many years. I especially remember how she stole the French Open from Halep. Halep was up and about to take the match and then got tired and Maria grinded her down b/c she was taking an energy enhancer. That's so fucking sad. Then you have biased clowns like Navratilova and Carillo who talks shit about Serena not wanting to be cheated but YET to talk about Maria doping...they still haven't said anything to this day.

Egyptian_Thoth I know I’m late but the fact that Maria has retired without accomplishing anything shows the power that those drugs had and it makes me so sad for Ivanovic, Errani, Henin, and Halep. I didn’t include Serena cause someone said she started taking it after the AO 2005 loss.

2023 now. Saba is number 1. With one Slam - AO.

@@rebekajesio8102024 now, she already won 2 AO title back2back!

Naji Zico The cold conditions don’t help the players at all, She came in wit a shoulder injury already and because of cold conditions it doesn’t help, and her legs got worn out from yesterday’s match, it’s a dumb tournament to be played at 15 degree weather, is a nightmare for tennis players, they are dropping like flies in Shenzhen. Maria is not tired, she had a hamstring injury and Aus Open is 2 weeks away, she could still produce some quality tennis against a good player.

@@nathanlifska2509 Ithink your right and i hope good match for but she is realy away of her level.

She needs her doping and drugs to perform, otherwise she is just average

Naji Zico, tired my ass. get another excuse.

Its not that she is tired but she cannot win without meldonium.

@George Rusch along with hardwork, prayers are as important. I am praying for her.

Imagine the seats were empty.

Shenzhen has 0 spectators usually

Looks like she’s sweating off a bad spray tan

I noticed it when she first came on the scene. It happens when she's working too hard and/or is overheated. It's very creepy if u ask me. It looks like she has a really bad cold and at any moment her eyes are going to start watering and her nose is going to start running.

Armand R , that’s my first impression, but it’s seems strange to apply something that would streak like that from perspiration, especially on a performing world class athlete like Sharapova.

Dubble D sometimes you never know. Sometimes spray tans don’t stick to the face as well as the body. Or it could also be her foundation mixed with other products etc. some people can sweat off literally anything. Also tennis players don’t usually have the best makeup artists lol

Dubble D who knows.. either way, I believe there’s some sort of product she’s sweating off/through. I don’t think her cheeks naturally produce those streaks lol

So agree!

Kasatkina??!? Lol you're fool... Sharapova out of form crushes Kasatkina easily in 2 😂

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9WdbM2Dt9zOg6M.html

Maria has had the Christmas period and a days rest because of the rain delay from yesterday and is still injured?!

Nathan Lifska same as Serena and she’s been kicking but

How comes the seats were empty , if Serena was playing it could be full., no one want to see the cheater losing.

Excuses excuses excuses

Rose Fendi because roger was playing and Serena return Rogers serve and plus she plays in the morning

Thrs Hwll An excuse is a reason for her losing, I never said she lost because of her injury but that she didn’t play to her best ability.

roter13 Well if she had an injury she isn’t going to risk before Australian open.

Nathan Lifska what injury? it’d just her third match after a long time...she had enough time to prepare

Nice try but you're wrong. She's retired 3 times in her 17 year career. She retired because she was visibly injured. She's taken way worse losses than this and if she wasn't absolutely spent she would have continued playing.

@@victorlupas4875 The injury that she got medical timeout twice for, look I agree a lot of people use medical timeouts and retire for no reason but Maria has always been a fighter, wether you like her or not her discipline and concentration is the best ever in WTA and she would never throw away a match if she wasn't injured. To answer your question it was a left thigh and hamstring injury preventing her from bending her legs, that's the reason for her poor golf of service an inability to play her drop shots and that's why she missed so many low balls and was unable to run and cover the court, she was moving poorly and even her coach told her to stop playing. Is that good enough for your thick brain to take in or do you need dot points next time?

lol agree with you

😂😂😂😂😂

Not physically fit despit having Christmas season to rest and relax?

Well y to open the match when u knew they gonna grunt! U know this n still played their match lol

deepak mahajan Man I just wanna see who’s gonna win the Australian open. It’s gonna be fun to watch.

deepak mahajan because don’t love to reveal my self to stalkers

Arath Gomez it’s going to be Angelique Kerber not Osaka and sabalenka are error probes

check her record on WTA, real deal :)

@@TrungNguyen-nq6wg I'm aware of it. I follow her. Thanks 🙏🏾

@@TrungNguyen-nq6wg Yes, she's a real deal and she has proved it today

she wasn't on meldonium when she beat her in tianjin douche face

@Lebron Almighty how could she get banned for something and then continue to take it. are you stupid

Not necessarily better. Sharapova isn't even close to what she usually plays. That intensity is somewhere else.

interesting point i've seen Drug coment a lot!

Lack of Meldonium made her to retire.

Lack of Meldonium.

Yes

She has nothing to prove.

You obviously haven't seen Serena how she screams.

@@tresspasse The Williams's introduced the screaming, no thanks to their father for coaching and instructing them to do so just to annoy and distract their competition, and it worked, especially early in their careers.

Gruntulenka won

@@markuse3472 First, the Williams sisters don't scream. They grunt. Secondly, Monica Seles was the first to introduce the grunt who the Williams sisters idiolized. Third, they didn't need to distract anyone because their racket did all the talking. Lastly, shut up you freaking hater who doesn't know anything about tennis.

Osaka is overated and just like Sabalenka needs more experience.
