Maria Sharapova Challenges the Notion That Her Wimbledon Loss to Serena Williams Was More Painful Than Previous Defeats

Maria Sharapova once provoked the case that her misfortune to Serena Williams at the 2015 Wimbledon Titles upset her more than any past loss to the American. The couple went head to head in a blockbuster elimination round conflict at the grasscourt Major.

Williams ruled her amazingly exhilarating contention against Sharapova, winning in 20 of their 22 experiences. She kept her seventeenth sequential win over the Russian in the elimination rounds of the 2015 Wimbledon Titles, getting a directing 6-2, 6-4 triumph.

Following her misfortune, Maria Sharapova was gotten some information about her mentality with respect to the loss, as it gave the idea that this misfortune had ‘hurt’ her more than her past misfortunes to Serena Williams. The Russian, notwithstanding, addressed how the writer had come to that end result.

“What makes you say that?” she questioned during her post-match press conference.

She also disputed the journalist’s belief that she seemed angrier at his loss compared to her most recent defeat to Williams, which took place in the 2015 Australian Open final.

“In five minutes, you can see that I’m more angry?” she responded.

Sharapova then addressed her show of frustration, disclosing that it was tough to attend press conferences directly after losses, as there wasn’t enough time to prepare explanations for the questions players were expected to answer.

“Press conferences are always about 30 minutes or 45 or an hour after a match. It’s tough to come in here after a loss as a competitor and give you many smiles or certain explanations. It happens really fast. So, yeah, there’s not really much to say,” she said.

Maria Sharapova: “I always expect Serena Williams to play the best tennis against myself and a few other elite players”

During the same press conference, Maria Sharapova reflected on her struggles against Serena Williams. She emphasized the importance of producing one’s best tennis against the American but admitted that she hadn’t been able to do so.

“Yeah, I mean, I always expect her to play the best tennis against myself and a few other elite players. She does always come up with great tennis. You have to be able not to just produce your best tennis, but more. Obviously it hasn’t happened for me,” she said.

The Russian also expressed her belief that Williams knew she had to deliver her best effort against Sharapova and others like Victoria Azarenka, while conceding that they weren’t able to do the same as consistently as the American.

“I think when she plays against me, she certainly does that. That’s why she’s in the position she’s in. I don’t think it’s a secret. I think she knows against certain players she needs to bring out her best,” Maria Sharapova said.”The way that she plays Azarenka, myself, maybe a few others, she has to bring it on the line. We know we have to. We’re not able to do that as consistent as she does,” she added.
