Australian Open 2016: Maria Sharapova Lose Again to Serena Williams

Well this is just sad, Maria Sharapova loses again to Serena Williams. Serena is the hurdle that she can't seem to overcome no matter how she try. Early in the game Maria Sharapova started well against Serena Williams at the Australian Open, but Williams is just too strong. It's their 18th straight game against each other.

Williams soundly defeated Sharapova 6-4 6-1 and she's now in the semi-finals. She'll meet Agnieszka Radwanska next which a lot of people expected that she'll have an easier time since Serena has been dominant against Radwanska.

Sharapova hadn't beaten Williams since 2004 but taking a 2-0 lead on a sunny day, with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), must have given fans of the Russian, who is world's richest female athlete, hope. Well, that was just hope in the end Williams still got her number.
