Over the years, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova have been two prominent names in the tennis community. These two athletes have contributed immensely to the women’s game. They took the sport on a global scale and made it popular amongst the millennials.

Recently, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova met at the Met Gala 2021. It was a rare sight to see these two rivals bond with each other. Over the years, they have been involved in some classic matches. However, there have been some interesting Twitter reactions from fans when they came across each other last week. 

Here are some of the interesting and amusing reactions from fans on the Williams and Sharapova reunion:

Over the years, Williams and Sharapova have been involved in several matches. However, their first meeting was a memorable match. It was at the Wimbledon Championships in 2004, when a 17-year-old Maria knocked out the former World No.1 Serena Williams in the final. 

Unfortunately, after that meeting, the Russian tennis star never registered a win against the dominant American legend. In 2020, Sharapova called it a day. However, she is still fond of the sport and was last seen attending the men’s final between Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev in New York last week. It was great for fans to see these two rivals bond during their time off the tennis courts.
