Recently, the tweet was shared by the world of statistics. The tweet asked for opinions from the fans asking who among the given 4 players was their all-time favorite.

However, seeing Maria on the list, Martina Navratilova was quick to disregard the list and called it a joke. “What a joke- I mean Maria? Really? Don’t even bother voting…” said Martina in the tweet.

But the fans were quick to react to this statement issued by the former winner. One user took to Twitter and said that she should feel happy that she played tennis in an era that was slow-paced citing that she wouldn’t last a set had she played it today. “Maria would smoke you on her worst day anytime. Be happy you played tennis in slow motion era. You wouldn’t last a set with these new girls now.”

Another fan expressed his disbelief at the remarks made by the former champion and said that she shouldn’t be comparing herself with Maria Sharapova as she is not a worthy opponent to her.

This fan again highlighted the same issue citing the fact that the times while both these players played were completely different so it does not make any sense to compare the two. The fan went ahead to slam the former player citing that she shouldn’t compare herself with Maria.

Another fan took to Twitter to post a beautiful picture of Maria Sharapova with the caption “jealous??”. This was meant as a hilarious dig at Martina by the fan himself.

Another fan went ahead to address his concern saying that if Martina really considers this to be a joke, then why is she getting triggered by it?

This fan went ahead to question Martina Navratilova on why is she getting this serious. “Why so serious?” asked the fan while it was just a normal poll.

“I’m dying,” wrote another fan citing the disbelief that the fan had with the remarks made by Martina Navratilova on Maria Sharapova.

Last, but not least, this fan took to Twitter to highlight his feelings and went ahead to ask the question to her about what her problem is with Sharapova. “what’s her problem?” asked the fan.

Thus, the remarks made by the fans clearly indicate that they do not have the same opinion as the 18-time grand slam winner. While both Maria and Martina were legendary during their respective times, it is not possible to compare the two based on their prime years.
