During the women’s singles match between Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki, one particular incident brought a hint of a laugh from the Swiss Maestro.
Caroline Wozniacki’s hilarious impersonation of Serena Williams made Maria Sharapova and Roger Federer laugh
During that match, Sharapova was playing some excellent tennis against Wozniacki, as Federer was watching from the dugout. As the Russian player was winning the match 6-2, 5-4, Wozniacki decided to imitate her good friend, Serena Williams.
After seeing Wozniacki‘s impression, both Sharapova and Federer chuckled along with the entire crowd.
Serena and Sharapova’s famous rivalry
The Russian had a torrid time facing the 23-time grand slam champion in her career. In terms of the head-to-head record, Serena is way ahead (20-2) of the Russian tennis player. Despite the record, their encounters have always attracted many tennis fans from all over the world.
In 2004, Serena won their first match at the Miami Masters pretty comfortably. However, Sharapova got her revenge against the American as she beat her in the Wimbledon final to win her first Grand Slam title at the age of 17. Later that year, she again beat Serena in the WTA Finals to win another trophy. However, that was Sharapova’s only success to date. In the next 17 meetings, Serena was triumphant.
