2004 Wimbledon semifinal: defeated Lindsay Davenport 2-6, 7-6(5), 6-1. The 13th seed Sharapova faced fifth seeded Davenport in a match of youth versus experience. Sharapova was overwhelmed by the veteran in the first set and was trailing 3-1 in the second set before she turned the match around, after a drizzle interrupted it. Although she was three points from defeat in the tiebreak, Sharapova fought back, consolidated her position to take the second set, and cruised through the third.
2004 Wimbledon final: defeated Serena Williams 6-1, 6-4. Sharapova defeated the two-time defending champion and top seed in one of the most stunning upsets in Wimbledon history.[18] In doing so, she became the second youngest women's Wimbledon champion in the open era and the first non-American victor since Jana Novotna in 1998.
