Re: Peak Venus VS Peak Maria
It's very simple.
Naps on fast surfaces, Maria on slow courts.
If peak Napnus was struggling to wins over the Davenports on slow HC, I see no reason she's supposed to bully Davenport's better version in Pova.

Oh, and I think Venus would win peak to peak. Every shot of hers (at peak) beats Sharapova except the forehand (maybe). Even Venus' second serve was quite impressive at her peak, she had a MUCH cleaner motion before she was injured and changed it.

What I find amazing is... even with Serena's poor movement and footwork, she still gives Pova a massive beatdown  
Can't be bad. 
Peak Venus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Peak Pova
The End!

"Almost anyone" in this instance not including the top two ranked players, right? Or are you arguing that either Azarenka or Sharapova moves better?

It seems there is a wide variety of opinions to how Sharapova compares to Davenport as players. If I hadnt started too many peak threads already that would have been my next one.
IMO peak Davenport (98-2000) > peak Sharapova (2004-2006) but I understand that is one people could easily argue either way.

IDK she was probably too busy winning Wimbledon 5 times.
Venus 6-0 6-0 except maybe at RG where cow on ice goat on clay Sharapova wins in 3.

And Sharapova does win the long rallies against Azarenka?! 
Difference is Serena CAN end the points quickly against Vika, unlike Masha..

Re: Peak Venus VS Peak Maria
As usual in every Sharapova thread, Azarenka and Kvitova fanboys are trying to stay relevant
Back on topic, Peak Venus >>>> Peak Sharapova

What? Perhaps there's a typo or missing word.

Peak Venus wins on grass and quick hardcourts, Maria wins on slow hardcourts and clay. Maria would've been able to get hold of Venus's serve on slower surfaces and probably manage to scrape back most of Venus's first strikes in a rally, and then Maria's superior and less error-prone groundgame would do the rest of the work |
It's too bad you didn't post in the peak Serena vs peak Maria thread...it'd been interesting to read your thoughts about THAT match-up.
