Without Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova‘s stories are incomplete – both in her career as a tennis player and in the rest of her memoirs. She has spent the bulk of her career standing on the opposite end of Williams, trying to hine brighter. However, their rivalry was more than just competing to win on the tennis court, in such a way that they also never missed a chance to laugh at each other or mock their choices.

In fact, the Russian tennis player described a similar scenario in her autobiography, in which a boisterous Williams approached her and made fun of her engagement to the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers star Sasha Vujacic.

Sharapova was happily engaged in 2010 but she broke up with her fianc? in 2012. Nevertheless, the news of her engagement spread like fire, and everybody around her knew about her personal decision. During one such Wimbledon after her engagement, the 41-year-old American legend came to her and made fun of her for her decision.

She recalled the incident and wrote,

“I hardly ever talked to Serena, but she came on like we were old friends.

I said, “Hi, Serena, I’m glad you’re back.”

“I heard you got engaged,” she said, excited. “Sorry for that. HA! HA! HA!”

Then she just stood there, laughing and laughing at her own joke.”
