So much hate because of her slice forehand geez! So what if she doesn't hit a topspin forehand? Nobody said to Steffi Graf - geez why all slice backhands? Tennis was full of unique shots in the 70s and 80s. Now everyone's strokes look exactly the same. Watching someone reach pro ranks playing like this is refreshing. And btw why is slice backhand acceptable and slice forehand not? She's got a drive backhand, ok serve, good slice approach shots, lobs, drop shots and volleys, AND great movement. And she's made millions of dollars. How is she not a good player? I'd like to see some of you haters play her- you'd lose and you know it!

Everybody talked about Niculescu broke Sharapova's rhythm with her slices. That isn't something Sharapova was unaware of. I am a huge fan of Monica, but I do admire how Maria handled the situation. Look at how she drove Monica from corner to corner. She even hit a forehand slices at 1-2 40-30 second set. Maria handled the slices way better than Serena did it.

Meldonium or not, Sharapova has always been clunky. Her height and movement limits her ability to hit winners on the run. Serena knows this, that's why she always beats her. Once you get Shriekapova on the run, she'll spray the error.

Yeah when she was like 17. She's too tall and lanky to move well. It's true with all the tall girls. When Sharapova was young she could do it. Venus has able to do it for quite a while. But in general the tall girls don't move well at all and at 6'2" Sharapova is no exception.

She secretly took drugs for ten years, to fight with those unspoken diseases!!! It's a huge victory for she to stand on the court, the results are not important at all! I think every journalist should ask her how could she overcame all these difficulties, also she really should share some tips to other players, to inspire younger generations.

Niculescu for example, can win against top players, but can’t against lower. Good fight from masha Th, wasn’t expecting her to last in those rallies and she has about 3 nominations for shot of the month. Lol
