Wow. That match up is guaranteed to fill the stands. Shame really, I think Maria is building on her form and Serena is hopefully fit, so I'd have preferred to see these two face off in maybe the third round.

Good luck to both of them. I'm more of a Serena fan than I am a Maria fan, so I'm hopeful Williams will take the win. Still, I've got a lot of respect for Sharapova and wish her well.

Someone is gonna get a beat down AGAIN!!!!!

1st Round OUT!!!

I want front row seats for this one.

Serena is gonna.........

Why spoil the drama.

Enjoy.

This is not a rival
Serena is 19-2 against cheaterpova
the only 2 win from cheaterpova was from 2004
enough with this crap

This is delicious!

OMG the drama that’s coming

Serena looking so focused and kind of relaxed, yet tense. Oh I dunno, I wanna say she looks serene but that's a bit cheesy. I SO want her to lift the trophy this year. She's been through hell this year. Whatever happens she's a total legend

This'll be interesting, a bit of a excitement for a first round match.

Good luck Maria ?, I really hope that you can win this match, although I don't think the crowd will be on your side. ???

Sharapova is done. Was barely a contender before the suspension, she's a name and nothing more at this point.

SLAMmed

Pure dominance! My girl. The great Serena Williams.

SHARAPOVA GO HOME

I wonder if draws are rigged somehow. I want to think not but what are the odds of this blockbuster match happening in round one. A match that will bring in tons of cash to the US Open and shoot their TV ratings up from the get go

The outfit is quite simple, I agree. But she looks so beautiful! Her hair is gorgeous, and she looks like a lion ready to pounce!

See ball, crush ball. The Queen is dialed in.

Did anyone truly think Sharapova had a glimmer of hope in winning this match?

Sharapova threw the kitchen sink at Serena and still came away empty handed

Just like riding a bike you really enjoy, it's that old familiar feeling of kicking her butt. Sometimes payback can last a decade or more as shown here.

Door firmly shut

Excellent win for Serena in an hour . Go girl...

20-2 chew on that hater

STATEMENT MADE!!!!!

ONCE AGAIN

LOUD & CLEAR
?

Shame about the pretty dress.

Congratulations Serena! You have shown the world once again that u are the greatest tennis player of all time! And now to you Justin Loch, I have seen it a couple times now, how u are hating on Sharapova. Probably because she used to do drugs, or maybe u have another problem with her, i don’t know and honestly I don’t really care. But I think with your sentence “chew on that hater“ you trynna provoke other people. You are the one who is hating Maria on this app here, and I think it’s kind of funny how u trynna twist things. Just wanna say, maybe U and everybody else should stop hating on her and just start to ignoring her.
You know it is way better to give no comment than to give a mean one. It is just my opinion, u probably don’t care but I felt obligated to tell u that. Have a nice day!

Oh man! Poor Sharapova!!!

What are the odds. This matchup used to be a final

Sharapova ought to move that tape from her nose and put it across her mouth.

You go Serena and kick that cheater outta there.

@tiarastar, her sink of drugs is empty and that nose strip is not helping at all.. She's been this terrible since the drug ban and now we see the real sharapova.

Ran her ass off the court!

Yep. The proof is in the results.

Serena is playing an amazing match.

Look in her eyes, she wants No. 24

3 Grand Slam Final losses since giving birth,

She's ready now.
