Their last clash took place in the US Open 2019, in which Williams got a walkover. But the point from where the rivalry started was the final of the Wimbledon 2004. It was Sharapova’s first Grand Slam title. She won it at the age of 17, beating Williams. It was a special moment for her and she broke down after winning it.
Sharapova announced her retirement from professional tennis last year at the age of 32. She won 5 Grand Slam titles. Williams, on the other hand, is still playing. She withdrew herself in the middle of the French Open 2020 due to her Achilles injury. But it looks certain that she will definitely be a part of the Australian Open 2021.
