The coach and lover of Serena Williams sounded a little cruel when he pointed out that this couldn’t be considered a rivalry if it was always the same player winning. Williams was far crueller in proving Patrick Mouratoglou so conclusively right.
What must go through Maria Sharapova’s mind when she stands across a net from the muscular old queen of women’s tennis? One can only conclude it is sheer panic having watched Williams win her 17th straight match against the Russian, battering her 6-2, 6-4 and taking her overall record to 18-2. The Sharapova wait for a win is 11 years and counting.
