she was just so serene

(in 2004, in the women's singles final of wimbledon, 17-year-old maria sharapova beat two-time defending champion serena williams 6-1, 6-4. in her autobiography, sharapova wrote she feels williams hates her for being the skinny kid who beat her at wimbledon and that it motivates her whenever they play each other. then they've met 19 times since then and williams won the last 18. yesterday, williams withdrew from their french open  4th round match with a muscle injury) 

the continuing story of williams and sharapova

(with apologies to lennon-mccartney) 

she was just 17

green, but oh so mean

the way she stood

just made me stop and stare

i wanna hat-trick of titles

but she had me thinkin' there

she started with a bang

my shots just boomeranged

and before too long

she had me beaten fair and square

i would've done a 'trick of titles

but she had me weepin' there

well, she's had a blast

it's gonna be her last

she'll never get any moooore

she's now 31

and never has she won

in 18 times 

we've met since two-oh-oh-four

i missed making it nine-teen-oh

gimme a shoulder to cry on

well, she's had a blast

it's gonna be her last

she'll never get any moooore
