Anyone like Tennis?

Could be a late night.

if there is one thing that the "rivalry" between Sharapova and Williams really shows is just how good Williams is. Sharapova is right at the top of her game right now. This was the first match she has lost in 2015. She's been in the finals of the French for the last three years, winning twice and that is her weakest surface. She has an incredible baseline game off both wings and an aggressive return game. And she has lost to Serena sixteen straight times over a 10 year period. Serena absorbs her ferocious ground strokes and gives them back just as hard. If Sharapova's return game allows her to win over half of the second serves coming to her, Serena will hit all first serves and in this latest match, over half of Serena's first serves were outright winners - Sharapova couldn't even put them into play. Sharapova is known as one of the toughest fighters in the game and she dodged several bullets in this match, but Serena's gun never seems to run out of ammo. At 33, Serena is building her legacy right on top of Sharapova. If Serena had retired a couple of years ago, Sharapova would be winning two slams a year and making a case as one of the greats of the game. As it sits today, she is just the lens through which we come to appreciate Serena.

I’m fortunate to be at a point in my career where I have nothing to prove. I’m still as driven as ever, but the ride is a little easier. I play for the love of the game. And it is with that love in mind, and a new understanding of the true meaning of forgiveness, that I will proudly return to Indian Wells in 2015.
