Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova are going to clash for the 22nd time in their career in the 4th round of the Roland Garros.
Serena has a fantastic record against the Russian to lead her 19-2, and Maria hasn’t defeated Serena since 2004. From that moment on, the American has won the following 18 matches dropping just 3 sets against her rival.
Why this time Maria is the favorite. SERENA
During the press conference following her win against Julia Goerges in the 3rd round, Serena explained why this time she feels that Sharapova is the favorite. The American commented
“We are both on a comeback for two totally different reasons, and she’s been on her journey for over a year, and I just started mine a couple of months ago. Quite frankly, she’s probably a favorite in this match, for sure.
You know, she’s been playing for over a year now. I’ve just started, so I’m just really trying to get my bearings and trying to feel out where I am and see where I can go.
But I think this will be another test. I think this is just one of her best surfaces, and she always does really, really well here.
This will be a good opportunity for me to kind of to see where I am and just hopefully continue to go forward.”
So, who is going to win this?
