Serena Williams net worth this 2016 sure hits a landmark although the said figure amounting to $145 million is still projected to go up. In many ways, this certified tennis superstar if not being rumored with a new BF is always attributed with fellow tennis superstar Maria Sharapova.
What separates these two ladies apart in distinction in the name of tennis?
In broader ways, the 34-year-old Women's Tennis Association top-lister has coveted wins in her title. Recently, the National covered how Williams is now the overall no. 1 ranking tennis superstar in the said international tennis poll and her no.1 standing even stayed strong from last year with a current score of 3,545 points.
On the other hand, Sharapova stands second in the rankings last year but now because of an injury, she now secures the seventh spot in the WTA listing. Moreover, Sharapova lose her winning streak against many members of the prestigious association due to her inability to join grand slam competitions and opens.
Although the two had only battled in a tournament once in the past, the match shared by Williams and Sharapova are quite memorable. In 2005, it is notable that Williams and Sharapova fought for Wimbledon in 2005 and although Williams won in the distinguishable event, Sharapova didn't let her ground down as well and defended her performance with some of her best groundstrokes.
Sharapova even mentioned how she finds the competition after losing it to Williams and her comment is sweet enough that the competition could be defined as a friendly game for both.
"I played against a really good opponent and today it went to the better person," Sharapova said in an interview after the tournament. "I don't think I played my best tennis but credit to her for not making me play my best. She had a lot of hard, deep balls and was serving consistently big.
Even if the Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova are speculated to be the biggest rivals in tennis, the two ultimately have the best relationship off court.
