Мария великолепна во всем: высочайший профессионализм, редкого сочетания красоты внутренней и внешней, открытость, интеллегентность, словом, пока равной ей нет!!!

Fans probably didn't pay much attention as this was just a small event in WTA calendar at that time, but this match has so many significance. It is Maria's first final and her only title post Meldonium ban and prior to her retirement. She will eventually retire on February 28, 2020. As for Aryna Sabalenka, it was the beginning of a rise for the girl from Belarus who will eventually reach her true potential in 2020. She is probably the hottest player in WTA tour by the end of 2020. The Tianjin crowd of 2017 did not realize how lucky they were!

When People said Sharapova is fighter this is the prove, from 5:1 to the champion I love her so much!!!

It's 2023 how sad is it to see Sharapova swing the racket and see her last victory here, even though I never saw her play live and still almost 20 years of my life have followed her since debut title in 2003, won Wimbledon 2004, ah.. still feel like just yesterday she wore pantas at wimbledon, nothing feel okay for her fans, regretful and sadness, thanks for making me fall in love to tennis, always success maria!

I miss you playing Sharapova

One thing I feel Sharapova’s game never received enough credit for was how consistent her placement was. She could hit near laser accurate at times for long durations in her matches. Serena had power and ridiculous angles but not as much precision as Sharapova.

Both played really great gorgeous sharapova and young & beautiful aryana sabalenka 🎉

what a match by sabalenka! sharapova looks like she won a slam! she is so popular in china !

Five years later.... sabalenka to be number 1 world ranking....

What a champion! And look how much it means to her. Her very last title. Great powerhouse match!

Drug scandal aside Maria was a true champion of her Era. Coming back from 5-1 to take the title in a tie break shows her mental strength. This was just the start for Sabalenka.

The power, skill, concentration and determination is just off the charts!!!!

I have never seen this match before. It's like Sharapova's last gasp effort in defeating one of the many up and coming young physical stars. Always love watching Maria win. She'd have been 30 in this video.

Maria is a great tennis player forever!!! She’s tennis legend. Her fighter spirit was amazing. Tennis world miss her so much!!!

I was such a big fan of Maria. I remember watching this match feeling so nervous watching this girl with green hair give Maria a really hard time. She was so powerful, so imposing, such a scary big game. You just knew she'd become a top player. Today I have become a fan of Sabalenka as well. Amazing that it's been 6 years.

From 4-1 in the first set and 5-1 in the second set, I can't believe Sharapova won the match. She is such a great fighter. And her mentality is amazing. A real champion.

Ow man, watching this it made me realize how much I miss Sharapova, she used to be my fav player!

Great match. Congratulations Maria and lots of love from your fans in the Philippines !!!

I LOVE when two ball bashers meet and play well against each other

How lucky was the tianjin public

Great win and can't believe Tianjin is her last title

A great match. Even the commentators are amazed by the quality of such a smaller title final. It was the sunset of a past champion and the sunrise of a future one. You can se how both girls gave their all in this match, although you can already see Saba's choking tendencies.

The crowd in Tianjin was one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Excelente maria💕🌹Dios te bendiga en salud te queremos😘❤💕🌹🌹💜🇩🇴

Never seen this before absolutely amazing power tennis by both girls. A wonderful final championship for Queen Maria and a hint at what Sabalenka could become. Aryna is super powerful and super frustrating. She has the talent to win Grand Slam titles but something is obviously missing. Sabalenka is in good form this year and she should have walked through that very mediocre field at the recent French Open.

Аринка молоденькая совсем и такой матч , такая воля к победе , опыта не хватило. Мария выйграла последний турнир в карьере. моя любимейшая теннесистка. только ради ее матчей смотрел теннис. не хвотает мне ее в туре. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Esto fue como el cambio de legado de la gran Maria Sharapova a la nueva gran promesa Sabalenka 😃☝🏻

Sharapova beat future number 1 and grandslam champion for her last title

I love this match so much entensity both players

Went here after Aryna Sabalenka won her first Grandslam Title! This is when I became a fan!

Wow that was hard hitting.

For me Tennis is boring without the grunts. Their grunts made it more intense and amplified their power 💪

What a match! What an exhibition of talent by both competitors. Young Aryna and more experienced Maria. Top Tennis. Congratulations to Maria Sharapova.👏👏

Wow . How did Sharapova win this match? These two are the most ferocious hitters. What a thriller .

Bellísima Sharapova 😍 María is and always will be my fav player ❤ She’s such a great player 👏🏻🇷🇺

Maria finally met her match in term of power and noise volume...

Wow. Sablenka had her 5 to 1 in the second set and still lost. How? I watched it but how?!!

If Sabalenka has changed her tactics n move Sharapova to the net, she would hv won the match. However, both players hv similar style as in bash hitting. Hence may the best hitter wins

Queen!❤

莎拉波娃是我心目中永遠的球后！

On her way to become one of the best tennis players today, this must be the match which taught Sabalenka one of the most important realizations as an athlete. That by staying calm and composed even in the face of defeat the player with the strongest mental game can often outplay opponent with the stronger physical game. Even when down at 5-1, by fighting to win one point at a time and without showing any sign of giving up .... staying keen on strategies and tactics to keep every ball at play may frustrate and flip the opponent and cause them to commit tactical errors, hesitations or may even be over-hitting the ball. Surely, Sabalenka can always go back to this game when caught on a match that is more mental than physical.

I believe they have the same playing style.

This one was special. Especially considering Sabalenka is now the best player in the world.

Based on my observation from this match it looks like the current Sabalenka has tamed down the power of her strokes in comparison to her stokes in this match.

Обе молодцы!...Мария оказалась чуть точнее!

Changing of the guards (queen of screams).

Эта наша звезда! Наша Маша!!😊🎉🎉

Болею за Машу с 2004-го года. Но хочу отдать должное Арине. В этом финале она играла просто великолепно!

Maria d great ❤

С 1:5 сделать 7:6 😅 Так только Маша могла) Это что-то с чем-то, блин))

1-4 down and came back. Brilliant.

I miss her sooo much

When sharapova give sabalenka a lesson 😂

Learn from the queen sabalenka !

I love you baby by Maria 💋 I'm sharapova country Nepal

Bravo Victoria ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

ROOOAAAAARRRRR

Мама я правда смотрю теннис!

Sabalenka are dangerous player tenis for next time, i think her can become world no 1

I saw an insect flying at camera lens at 3:53

The Battle of the Tall Women.

Wasn't aware they ever played one another.

I think they didn't made enough noise I'm disappointed 😔

Maria Adelaide I love you MCC plus

❤❤❤❤😢

Посмотреть бы, Игру Собаленко в Возрасте Марии!

Batle of grunt

Must have needed earplugs to see this match live….Jesus fucking Christ.

Best win ever, and a worse loss ever.

I put this on in the car because the neighbors might complain about the noise. Oye

Like 2 lionesses..

Какая Арина красавица

شرفوفا وسبلانكا يتمازون بنفس القوه في التسديد وقوه الاندفاع إلا أن ماريا تبدو افظل مهارين من سبلانكا فهيا تتعامل معا المباراه من عده نواحي كثيره فيها أما سبيلانكا فهيا تعتمد علا قوه ساعد يداها فقوه ساعد يداها وتسديداتها تعد من تسديدات الرجال من حيثيه القوه في التوجه

Bien maría sharapova

I am here for sound 😁

That screaming is so loud...

Có khi nào maria là idol của aryna sapalenka Hét to nhất thế giới

Неплохо

the screaming is obnoxious but the tennis is electric

Shouter vs shouter

These grunts 😂

Such a dramatic match, so good from Sharapova. And always good to see the warmongerer Sabalenka lose

Her coach is better than Thomas.

"Just the start from Sabalenk" but back then I knew she had the potential of be Top 10 and I don't think she was way below her actual level.

Соболь такая худенькая 😍😍😘

Saba's shoulders are so broad and strong. What age is she here? 18?

Sabalenka like a Venus scream

sabalenka before she gets fat😆

Por Si Se Olvidaron O No Sabian--Mister Señorita Sharapova Fue suspendida por usar drogas ilegales..19 de abril, fue castigada con dos años de suspensión en 2016 La tenista apeló ante el Tribunal de Arbitraje Deportivo, que redujo el castigo a 15 meses.

The two worst gunters in the sport

Both of them screaming for energy anyway .

They seem to be competing on screaming & shouting rather than tennis :)

nothing magical in their game. only ball bashing and screaming.

The best match of all but sharapove was still using drugs....

Hilarious to me that people are so obsessed with grunts. Its a part of tennis. Yet every sabalenka thread someone says something stupid about her grunts.

Cheesy winning reactions as always 😂😂 drug cheat Pova

Вот это рубилово.
