Of the two female stars who retired this year, Sharapova and Wozniacki are undoubtedly the most eye-catching. Just last year in Melbourne, they staged a wonderful showdown, let's review that game.
It was the third round of the Australian Open in '19, with danish sweethearts in green jerseys playing against Russian pink lady Sharapova, who had already reached the no. 30 seeds.
In the first set of the first set, there were four equal divisions after reaching 40 draws, which undoubtedly set the tone for the fierceness of this game, and the Danish sweetheart tenaciously achieved serve preservation. In the fourth inning, she took the lead in breaking. But Sharapova was not a fuel-saving lamp after all, and in the subsequent race, she achieved a breakback and pulled the competition between the two to the same running line. In the end, the Russians who served online were superior and took the lead in taking the first city.
Yi Bian fought again, it was the danish sweetheart's turn to threaten, he broke the belt to establish a 3-0 lead, but she failed to take advantage of the chase, but let the opponent break, chasing 4-5. But Sharapova self-destructed the Great Wall at a critical moment, and returned the ball frequently in the indispensable serve, and finally lost 4-6. The total score was tied between the two and returned to the same running line again.
In the decider, the two sides are still not divided, until 3-3 peacetime, Sharapova took the lead in breaking, and she also used her screams to motivate herself. Wozniacki, on the other hand, was defeated, and after Sharapova saved her serve with love game, she faced a non-guaranteed serve, only to save one match point, and then was seized by her opponent at the second match point, regrettably losing the match.
This match is one of the few meetings between the two on the Grand Slam stage, and the two actually have quite a lot of similarities.
First of all, both of them have won the Australian Open and the world number one, and both announced their retirement shortly after the end of this year's Australian Open. Both have good faces and sweet smiles, Wozniacki has gained the reputation of "Danish sweetheart", and Sharapova is known as an idol player who has been rarely seen in women's tennis for many years. Not only is the endorsement and advertising fees soft, but even if it is retired, the established business empire can continue to operate, all of which is inseparable from its good appearance.
They are all inextricably linked to Serena, but for Serena, one of them is a friend and the other is an old enemy.
The defending champion was eliminated in the third round, and Sharapova's strong performance was one of the few highlights before she retired.
