Just in: Serena Williams hated me after I made her cry at Wimbledon and she has never forgiven me’..see more…

One of Serena Williams’ old rivals believes the American still holds a grudge over their Wimbledon meeting.
Although Williams enjoyed a dominant 20-2 record against the Russian star, Sharapova earned a significant victory against the tennis icon at Wimbledon.

Aged just 17, Sharapova stunned Williams to win her first Grand Slam title in 2004 and later caught her crying. Sharapova still believes her rival never forgave her for that match.

Serena and Venus Williams dominated Wimbledon in the early 2000s. By the time Sharapova won her first major, the sisters already had two trophies each at the All England Club.
Sharapova pulled off a massive upset in 2004, becoming the first player outside of the Williams sisters to clinch the title at Wimbledon this century.

The Russian was still a teenager when she shocked Williams in the championship match. Seeded 13th, Sharapova had already upset Lindsay Davenport by the time she got to the final.

And she breezed past the younger Williams sister, winning 6-1 6-4 to claim her first of five Grand Slam titles. To this day, Sharapova believes the 23-time Major champion holds a grudge for that match.

In her 2017 autobiography, Sharapova claimed she caught Williams crying in the locker room after the match.

“I went to the locker room alone. Serena had left the court as soon as she could without making a scene,” she wrote.
