WTA > Sharapova: “Serena Williams was the most intimidating opponent for me, by far”

Retired from the courts since 2020, Maria Sharapova is quite discreet in the media. Preferring to focus on her various businesses, the “Tsarina” recently returned to her toughest opponent in the podcast Never Stand Stillwith host Dan Schulman.

“Serena Williams was by far the most intimidating opponent for me. When I was young I lost to Monica Seles 6–0, 6–1, and I really thought I had a good game. I came off the court bawling, I don’t know if I was 16 or 17, and told my dad, who was my coach at the time, that I really thought I played well. I completely collapsed (laughs). But yeah, Serena was definitely the toughest, toughest, and most consistent competitor at her level. »
