Classic Serena comeback! Most hate the ESPN commentary of this match, however, that made me appreciate the match even more, since Serena shut them up. Here are some gems from the ESPN team:
Serena's technique on the forehand is "really, really bad." She also called her forehand "ragged." ~ Mary Carillo
Sharapova's second serve is superior to Serena's. ~ Mary Carillo
"This kid's better." ~Mary Carillo referring to Sharapova in comparison to Serena.
Venus has "HORRIBLE" technique on the serve & forehand. ~ Pam Shriver
Serena "doesn't have faith, she doubts herself on the court." ~ MJ Fernandez
"Sharapova is totally in the head of Serena Wiliiams, she doesn't know to handle her mentally or physically." ~ Pam Shriver
Dick Enberg & Mary Carillo calling some of Serena's shots "lucky".
"If you can't beat her, hit her" ~ Mary Carillo
Of course they stopped talking sh!t once Serena fought back to take the second set. Although that didn't stop Carillo from saying that she still believes Sharapova is the better even after Serena beat her. LOL. And for the record, I have nothing against Sharapova.

One of the best matches at the australian open to this day…..I always say that Venus and Serena are the real #1 and #2 at their best…with Justine as #3, but when Sharapova was playing like this, I always thought she was #3….I'll give Henin the 3rd spot with her 2007 year….she was amazing….still…..Venus and Serena's game at their best is simply SCARY…they changed tennis and EVERYONE feared them.

6:31 "This kids better" #EPICFAIL

@egyptian_thoth 11 лет назад

@16:21 Serena pats Maria's back as if to say, "good job today but this will the last time you EVER give me this much trouble child!". LMAO

@JordanjamesX 11 лет назад

Mary Carillo's racism is DISGUSTING! Some people think racism involves making a racial slur and being overt. However, Carillo is careful not to use racial slurs but her bigotry and hatred for Serena Williams is easy for the eye to see. I am so proud of Serena in this match to come back from three match points and find a way to win.

@mightymikec7 10 лет назад

Sharapovas blood curdling screams were just ridiculous. I don't know how any opponent can take all that noise? Why the commentators don't talk about how distracting Sharapovas screams are?

@htownhomie06 11 лет назад

Love, love, love the fact in the original telecast at 6-2, 5-3 Sharapova, Carillo said that serena was good but "this kid's just better." she was eating her words & could barely look at the camera straight when the commentators were discussing Serena's epic comeback in the end. Classic!

One of her best comebacks ever #RenasArmy

@supphanyu 12 лет назад

I love to see Yuri Sharapov 's very confident face but her daughter was defeated by my tennis queen Serena. Love feeling that.

@swissmaestro45 11 лет назад

Don't see how they were right about much, though. Serena's forehand back then did have its faults, but to say it's "really, really bad" and "ragged" is a huge exaggeration. They were expecting her forehand to let her down in the 3rd but her forehand is what saved her. Maria's 2nd serve was never better than Serena's, in fact Serena hit more return winners this match than Maria, including down match point. Maria has never been "better" than Serena at anything besides shrieking like a banshee.

@marciamilbanks4264 11 лет назад

And Serena was still mourning the untimely death of her beloved sister during Wimbledon 2004 AND Serena was coming off of a long injury break during which she'd experienced depression over her sister's death.

@Dunncy11 11 лет назад

I know not of any other rivalry that generates so much heat in the entire tennis world. These two love to fight each other! Long live Serena and Sharapova!

@Sezro 12 лет назад

I could watch this match everyday Serena is like no other

@warrenguy76 11 лет назад

Wow I was having a bad day, but seeing two of my favorite players (Venus excluded, she's my absolute favorite) play each other is awesome. Maria was playing phenomenal on this match, but again, Serena added something more. Like she's done time and time and time again. A living legend.

@preshanapricelessgirlspric166 11 лет назад

I agree, every time I hear Carillo's statement, Mary is out classing Serena it's a joke. Carillo is a horrible commentator who allows her personal views to cloud reality! Serena has had the last laugh 17 Grand Slams and counting.

@KadeKempson 12 лет назад

Serena Jameka Williams: Fucking figher;fucking legend, That is all.

@damku 13 лет назад

One of my fave matches of all time. Got goosebumps watching that again. Thanks for posting!

@Gwen3344 11 лет назад

Well said. That's what I like best about Serena, her incredible intensity and mental strength. I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but I loved the rage to win, refusal to lose, to not be bettered mentality she played with in this match. Serena is clearly emotionally fragile at times (French Open 2012) and emotionally volcanic at others (US Open 2009, 2011), but she's the best thing in women's tennis. When she plays her best (Miami 2013 SFs), it's heaven for me! When she plays, I watch.

@Caveman25Mr 12 лет назад

SHARAPOVA SCREAMING C'MON LIKE THAT ON THE MATCH POINTS ANNOYS THE SHIT OUTTA ME.

@tmotion10 11 лет назад

Sharapova's matches should come with a decibel warning and complimentary set of ear plugs. OMG! As far as Serena, WOW!!!

@vosharap 11 лет назад

BEST WOMEN'S MATCH EVER PERIOD!

@tjrtt 11 лет назад

This match was the start of a near decade long beatings to come lol. My eardrums are paining me after watching this.

@80sbaeby 12 лет назад

I just love the look on Yury's face at 11:57, 1st match point for Sharapova. That sinister grimace and those cocky claps were very shortlived. LOL!

@sawleo 13 лет назад

Serena and Maria played a fabulous match in that semi-final. The match reminded me of what both are able to bring to the court. There was something so exciting in women's tennis during that period. I look forward to Serena's full recovery from her injury and from her US Open 2011 disappointment. I am hoping Maria can regain her form. Lately, Maria has been beating herself. But, she still hangs in there, and I believe she still has the goods.

@aznislander877 12 лет назад

This is my favorite match against sharapova lol. I think i watch this at least once a week haha.

@Dadge1989 12 лет назад

Just love when these two play against each other... always high quality... Great Highlights thankyou... Sure shut them Commentators up...

@ascendantrocket 12 лет назад

EPIC MATCH! Still one of the greatest rivalries in women's tennis.

@vosharap 12 лет назад

THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MATCHES...THE ONE

@CelesteHarrell 11 лет назад

This is my first time seeing this match. Thank you. I was awestruck by the commentary. Didnt know you had transcribed them before I watched the match. Thanks for a good job. As for the commentary, well even if they did not shut their mouths they ought to have.

@Speaklife 11 лет назад

This match is on Tennis Channel again today, but thank God they are using other commentary other than ESPN.

@Zoe26i 11 лет назад

That volley around the 10 minute mark- serena had her on the ropes

@samrocksmyshire 11 лет назад

haha! i love that you added the gems from the ESPN commentary.

@JordanjamesX 11 лет назад

No you are wrong tennis isn't about who "should have won" it is about the end result and Sharapova lost. Serena won the match because she was BOLD in the critical moments fighting off the three match points. Serena is mentally tougher than Maria and a superior tennis player. Only because Maria is white and blonde the USA racist tennis establisment hypes that blonde bimbo.

@gloriawashingon1452 11 лет назад

Did anyone hear Mary Carillo, when she showed footage of Sharapova leading RUSSIANS, not her country's? She said the she was "An all American Princess from Russia. She said that Serena was intimidated by her. This is the Olympics where you rout for your country. I can't find ESPN's coverage.

@gloriawashingon1452 10 лет назад

she was lucky Maria had it lined up for a winner?????? smh

@2pacinseattle 12 лет назад

Serena is one of my favorite athletes in all sports.

@DX88168 12 лет назад

This is the best battle between both of them!

@dc3fan2003 12 лет назад

i love the pat on the back serena gives sharapova after beating her after the handshake lol. as if to say "sorry you thought you were gonna win but hhmmph, you didnt" lol

@swissmaestro45 13 лет назад

@holderica I showed Serena saving all three match points and breaking back for 5-5. And I also showed Serena saving two break points at 6-6 from 15:14 to 15:34. You can see the scoreboard pop-up revealing that they were break points.

@swissmaestro45 11 лет назад

Sharapova was lucky to serve for the second set. Serena has a break point at 4-3 and Sharapova hit a forehand wide that was ruled good. That point is missing from these highlights because it was cut off but you can see it other uploaded highlights from this match. And the remainder of Serena's 2005 has nothing to do with this match. None of Serena's wins over Maria are flukes in any context, unlike Maria's over Serena's.

@beljonn 12 лет назад

I am still kinda sorry for her when it comes to that AO Final in 2007....my grandpa and I watched that match, and my grandpa who is the biggest Serena fan I know, started cheering for Maria when she won that one game in the first set lol

@bgiles26 11 лет назад

January 27, 2005....the streak begins and ass-kickings has been given out ever since.

@holderica 13 лет назад

you left out one or two break points for serena in the last set which adds to the excitement of her winning the match

@NigelAhmad 12 лет назад

I still get nervous at 2-6,4-5 because it's so unbelievable how she makes these comebacks LOL

@swissmaestro45 13 лет назад

@CJDM310 You're right. Can't believe I forgot that one!

@CYEENOW 11 лет назад

I really like sharapova. But hoping for her to win against serena is like hoping federer will win against nadal. In a best of five

@CYEENOW 12 лет назад

love this match, and was almost perfect, but @swissmaestro45 i think the line "this kids better" is actually "this gets better"

@charlenepitts1 11 лет назад

In Maria's defense, this was only her second career major semifinal and it happened to be against Serena Williams, a multiple grand slam champion. Maria simply got tight when faced with the idea of those 3 match points, Serena saw this, took advantage, and came back like a true champion.

@ascendantrocket 12 лет назад

AMAZINGG MATCH!!!! STOP THE FIGHTING AND ENJOY THE TENNIS! :D

@dc3fan2003 12 лет назад

i like Dick Enberg's commentary. comical yet insightful

@kesseje13 11 лет назад

A couple of things: -Venus and Serena didn't have the best forehand technique. They strongly improved during 2007-2009, which many believe to be their most important years. Venus' second serve and forehand were simply bad for much of her early career. I think what Pam was saying was that Venus' technique was horrible for someone of her historic stature. And a lot of the tennis commentary here is accurate. Venus and Serena are my all time favorites, but everyone has flaws.

@dperin00011 12 лет назад

Ever time screamapova hits the ball, you would think someone had just popped her cherry for first time.. never gets old.

@sexygreen2010 11 лет назад

THE GREATEST.

@swissmaestro45 12 лет назад

I know! Carillo shrugged her off and said "just one moment" and didn't let her say anything else! I think Vika's speech was longer than Serena's.

@markuyar1 11 лет назад

"this kid's better" - I'm sure Mary is kicking herself for saying that haha, looking back 8 years later and comparing Serena & Maria's success. Even after Serena retires, I think it will be impossible for Maria to match Serena's legacy on the sport.

@RebCha93 12 лет назад

I love this, no more words to say. :)

@Maolseachlainn1 11 лет назад

It makes my skin crawl when Americans blatantly support foreign opponents (a Russian no less) under the guise of 'balance', 'fairness' etc. when it's directed at African-Americans. The two commentators for this match are a disgrace - of course they'd deny that they were being racist - but racism like their's in insidious and canny. They were obviously disappointed that their compatriot won the match. Disgusting racists. Anybody who thinks otherwise is at best naive, or even worse complicit.

@swissmaestro45 13 лет назад

@tennisdudeintx All three match points saved by Serena are there.

@JamaalABivens 13 лет назад

This was such an awesome match, overshadowed by awful commentating. lol. I wish now, in 2011, Sharapova still had this form to give some awesome tennis in a match with Serena. I LOVE those icy stares Serena gives when she's going to win and how she walks away after her serves, KNOWING she's won the point.

@ednabrewerfreak 12 лет назад

this is the most underrated womens semifinal match

@swissmaestro45 11 лет назад

I believe she said "in every single aspect."

@774CISCO 12 лет назад

Serena is the toughest and cutest of them all!

@0525xavi 12 лет назад

When Serena is not grunting you should fear her oh so much. Her level of play is going through the roof shortly after

@juju1305 13 лет назад

@TWDtv hum, hello, Wimbledon 2004? That was a slam final that Sharapova won against Serena. And she beat her at the YEC the same year which is the most important tournament after the slams. But I agree that since, she has failed to beat serena.

@Maolseachlainn1 11 лет назад

It is nauseating to listen to the commentary of two Americans clearly backing the opponent (a Russian no less) rather than one of their own. It sickens me when Americans pretend to be uber patriotic - unless of course you happen to be African-American. They both should be ashamed of themselves - despicable behaviour.

@KadeKempson 12 лет назад

This is why Maria can't get close to beating Serena anymore; she plays her best in this match and Serena still wins. That Wimbledon 2004 match, Serena was just too nervous to do anything.

@susceotible 12 лет назад

What's even more satisfying is that Maria had never won a single match after this match against Serena.

@Joniidolizing 11 лет назад

And so the glorious streak begins: twelve matches and counting. A much better match than they have these days, but boy, Sharapova's noises are insufferable...

@swissmaestro45 12 лет назад

The beginning of that game was missing. I would have definitely included it otherwise.

@LindaAlexandria 11 лет назад

yes the commentary seem like they really want pova to win! too bad too sad, cuz she is not going to win!

@Gwen3344 11 лет назад

Should have been a win for Maria? No, I don't think so. The person who wins the last point is who *should* have been the winner. Now, if you change that comment to *could* have been a win for Maria, I'd agree with you. Sharapova had the opportunity to win, but clearly she lost to a far more determined, athletic, and to my mind, better tennis player.

@ridedamaverick 12 лет назад

Remember when Sharapova was a genuine threat to Serena? Beat her twice in 2004 and looked like it was going to happen again that day...LOL. Having said that, this was a damn good match.

@ascendantrocket 12 лет назад

I applaud Serena's fight. Should have been a W for Maria

@jzrnsk 11 лет назад

How are their vocal cords still okay?

@cherardman 13 лет назад

did Serena say at 4:56 "you gotta keep up" lol i love it!!!!

@beljonn 12 лет назад

She has never been much of a fan of Serena. She was leading the parade for the crowning of Maria after she beat Serena in 2004. Since that time, Serena has won 8 grand slam singles titles, Maria has won 3. I like Maria, but she doesn't have that dominance in her that Serena possesses, and Venus (still sorry for her having that auto immune disease) had at times in the past. I still look back and smile, because they all wanted Maria to be the one to put an end to Serena's run.

@ezayi 11 лет назад

Loved this match ... great tennis and of course, cause Serena won. Does anybody knows what Serena says in 12:00????

@JWNS08 13 лет назад

Mary Carillo always antgonizes Serena and Venus. How is Serena's forehand technique ragged? I like Pam Shriver for the most part and I love Mary Joe Fernandez. Mary Joe seems to be the least biased towards anyone and I really enjoy her commentary. Dick Enberg is ok. He really did seem to be for Maria in this match. I believe he just got caught up in the Maria hype. Cliff Drysdale and Pam Shriver usually go at it.

@chastark 12 лет назад

I love the comment about her forehand. Her forehand is obviously so terrible that it won her 13 Grand Slam championships....go figure.

@sociology7243 13 лет назад

thank god serena won this match, sharapova was so loud at 5-4, it was ridiculous. notice at 14:27 how sharapova hits a winner when she is silent.

@swissmaestro45 12 лет назад

@CYEENOW She said "this kid's better." Right before that point she was praising Sharapova and dissing Serena (then again, she did that for most of the match). Then after the match she said she still thinks Sharapova is a better player.

@Paakid 11 лет назад

Oh my god those sharapova screams are so disgustingly bad sportmanship. She screams way after hitting the ball to try put serena off.

@TheZoRetro 12 лет назад

anyone notice that serena's grunt is not loud

@JavonWilliams29 11 лет назад

Sharapova's screams were just unbearable!!!!

@vachekipu 12 лет назад

talk that talk ..."sippin my tea while readin comments"...THAT SERENA REIGN JUST WON'T LET UP ... 14 grand slams, when will your faves?

@hugoarr12 11 лет назад

Sharapova is like the Dallas Cowboys. Super wealthy but past prime.

@drbellard 13 лет назад

This was a great match that had me on the edge of my seat. Mary Carillo is the worst ever. I love Pam and Mary Jo, as they are pretty fair. Carillo, with her man face, had written my girl off prior to the beginning of this match.

@tatti4565 12 лет назад

This is the beginning of the Serena beat downs of Maria! The more the media and commentators hype Maria the fuglier the beat downs get lol

@db200508 12 лет назад

well the second loss serena had to sharapova serena was injured. She couldnt even serve really. It was bad but she fought through the pain and kept playing.

@TWDtv 13 лет назад

@db200508 That is mental strength though, the ability to be calm. That's one thing that Sharapova has NEVER had really. She is a great fighter, but she doesn't know how to stay calm enough when someone seriously asks questions of her. This was the first of what turned out to be many signs of that. Being a great fighter doesn't automatically equal being mentally tough, but being calm certainly does equal to that.

@TheZoRetro 12 лет назад

lol serena is so sassy on the court I love it!!!

@swissmaestro45 13 лет назад

@jonomu I understood "Come on Serena this is yours."

@brunofreitas4474 12 лет назад

What I don't get is why people can't see Sharapova's value. yes, Serena is better than Maria in many departments like volleying, serving and running but they are both mentally strong players, the strongest players actually. What intrigues me is why Maria seems to be a completely different player every time she plays Serena. I don't know but I think she doesn't believe she can actually beat Serena, not that she doesn't have the guns to do so, but because after this loss, it really affected her.

@LendaleJohnson86 12 лет назад

@7:36 Serena gets burned crosscourt by Maria's passing shot.... but does the splits in the process!

@jordanhalkier81 11 лет назад

I think that Mary Carillio should be ashamed of herself, Has she looked at the Head to Head result behind these two recently because Serena has a 13-2 Head to Head record against Maria, It was 2004 since the last time maria beat serena, Serena is just a league ahead of her, Mary has the cheek to say this kid is better HAHA, That woman does not know anything about tennis if she think Maria is better than Serena.

@ChessboyJohnny 11 лет назад

Up until that point Maria was 'just better' though, that matchpoint was a gift from Maria. We all know Serena is the best comeback player and she really turned it around, but I think at that point Maria was the better player in terms of form. Obviously if you look at their careers as a whole Serena is way out of her league, and the talk about her technique is plain ignorant

@viktorserenawilliams 13 лет назад

I can't believe what they were saying during the match.sure Serena is not the most technical player on tour,but then again does techique only win you 13 slams Mary?

@darrenmonty2432 12 лет назад

Some people talk about Serena's atitude. Could crappy commentations may be the reason for her atitude? Serena is a great competitor. Sometimes i also wonder could this be one of the reasons why Serena hasn't played much Fed Cup because of these ridiculous commentary? Thirtteen Major Titles and that's not counting the other titles outside the majors. She had bad calls that went against her during Justine Henin 2003 French and Jennifer Caprati 2004 US Open, which she had right to show emotion.

@marciamilbanks4264 11 лет назад

Because Carillo SLANDERED Serena's innocent DEAD sister at the Beijing Olympics, for one thing! Carillo's better now, but it would be hard to be any worse!

@Ty0688 12 лет назад

Serena was not accepting a loss. She just was not having it! Her attitude, body language, facial expressions - all screamed...... Destroy her!

@80sbaeby 12 лет назад

I love how Serena manages to shut these clearly biased commentators up. Sharapova is a really good player and pretty and all, but she's not better than Serena. Serena was rusty here, but she still managed to beat Maria because she knows that she's better than her. The Queen of Tennis for the past 2 decades: Serena Williams.
