WTA Players as Movie Characters

       Maria Sharapova as The Bride (Kill Bill)

        Tall, blonde and willing to fight anyone in order to get what she wants... Maria, just 
  like Uma Thurman's character, isn't scared of anyone. The Bride uses a sword, Maria
  uses her racket... A true warrior, am I right?
    

        Serena Williams as Deloris Van Cartier/Sister Mary Clarence (Sister Act)

        The hair, the sense of humour, the shadiness ... Need I say more? 

                                                                 Sister Act scene

      Caroline Wozniacki as Tracy Flick (Election)

    Have you gone to school? When it comes to umpires, Caroline has the same attitude as Reese Witherspoon's character... 

                              

                                                                                                                                                                               

                                         

At least let her challenge...the frickin' ball !

                                                                 Election scenes

       Genie Bouchard as Regina George (Mean Girls) 

   Blonde? Check. Rich family? Check. Spoiled? Check.

  After all, it's one of her favorite movies as well...

                                                        Regina's best quotes


    Ana Ivanovic as Elena (The Mask of Zorro)
  
    Chris Bradnam of Eurosport called Ana the Catherine Zeta-Jones of the tennis world.  I have to agree on this one. 

          The remaining question is : would Basti look good with a Zorro mask on?!

Anna Kournikova as Cher (Clueless)

If Genie is the new Anna Kournikova, then Mean Girls is the newer version of Clueless. 

                                         The original mean girl of teen chick flicks

           

                                           The original mean girl of the WTA

Donna Vekic as Lolita 

The classic tale of a young woman seduced by a much older man...

The Masha-Rena Never-Ending Cat Fight

  Let's look back at the rivalry between Maria and Serena, on and off the court !

 Their first encounter :

 It all started in 2004, in Miami. Serena won that battle but neither of them had any idea about what was ahead...

   They met again later that year and the rest was history :

  Maria proved that her Wimbledon victory was not a fluke by winning their third meeting of the year :

At this point, Masha had no idea that this was going to be her last win over Serena...

After 2004, things started to heat up !

                                        

                                                                Australian Open 2005




 Check out Maria's facial expression during Serena's speech @ 1:07 (Australian Open 2007) !

Here they meet again in 2007, this time in Miami. Be careful not to miss that cold handshake @5:38

                                        

And who could ever forget their 2008 Charleston encounter ?

Apparently, Masha and her coach have some inside jokes about Serena...

                                          

A few years later...

2012 was the year when the cat fights got louder and the shade got even more obvious ...

We bet Maria would give up her 5 Slams just to erase the Olympic Final from history ...

                                          

Serena got shady in an ABC interview : 

                                         

The 2013 French Open Final : 

                                     

''I'm a lot smaller than Maria...''

                                                  Look at them trying to act all friendly :

       Serena couldn't help herself in an interview for Rolling Stones magazine... and Maria just had to defend herself :

    

                                      

Maria is aware of the fact that Serena's coach/boyfriend absolutely hates her ...

The Maria Sharapova Files

                                                       


  Maria is one successful girl : she's been the highest-paid female athlete in the world for over 10 years, she's got over 14 million Facebook fans and she's also won 5 Grand Slam titles.
  What intrigues us about Maria is her shadiness. That's right ! Maria is one shady girl... and we love her for that !
  We countdown her Top 5 shadiest moments* :

                    *not including her cat fights with Serena 

#5 Is her last name Jankovic?

 Location : Beijing
 Year: 2009
 Opponent: Guestoria Azarenka

                                                 

#4 Run! Run!

 Well, this one was a little mean !

Location : Istanbul, the YEC
Year : 2012
Opponent : Slamlesswanska

                           
                                                               @ 3:19

#3 This is my home !

Location : Indian Wells
Year : 2008
Opponent : Hantuchova
Background story : In a pre-tournament press conference, D. Hantuchova, the defending champion stated that she feels right at home in Indian Wells... Well, Maria (dis)respectfully disagreed !

#2 Check her blood pressure !

Location : Cincinatti
Year : 2014
Opponent : Ana Ivanovic

Background story : This video captures everything you need to know about the 'incident' :

    #1 This one was pretty shadyyy - Maria and Aga don't like each other very much and they'd like us to know that !

Location : Australian Open
Year : 2012 (yeah, that was probably Masha's shadiest year )
Opponent : Radwanska
Background story : Aga started the cat fight by questioning Maria's sportsmanship in a press conference. They didn't even play each other during the tournament !

Masha hits back at Aga's comments ! 

Apparently, Aga isn't 'important enough for someone like Maria !

Quotes : 

''Isn't she back in Poland already?''

''No one important enough has told me to change or do something different.''

Sadly, there's no video of this, but everything you need to know about it is in this article :

   Maria's beef with Serena is greater than all of this and that is why it deserves a special thread ! See you soon !
