The Wimbledon is about to begin and is just days away from beginning on the 1st of July. We already have our favorites who are potential winners of the entire tournament. It has been a great tournament to witness filled with some of the most legendary moments in the game, which we cannot ignore at all. This is one of the best tournaments of the Grass court season which has a lot of hype going forward.

We might be excited about the upcoming season, but we also can't forget the nostalgic moments of the game as well. The moment that caught our attention was way back in 2024, when Maria Sharapova at the age of just 17 beat the legendary Serena Williams to get her hands on her first-ever Wimbledon title. This was one of the most shocking moments that gave birth to one of the legends of the game that we went on to remember for generations. This was one of the greatest moments of the game that we experienced.

Sharapova and the phone call

We all know that winning a Grand Slam as a teenager is always something to remember for every tennis player, especially Sharapova. There were a lot of moments to remember when the youngster beat Williams in two straight sets and also went on to hug her father in the crowd after this historic win. There was no point in the match where we saw Sharapova struggle at all aside from the phone call to her mother as she was failing to get a proper signal and could not get through to her mother at all. Sharapova during an interview also showed her frustration about not connecting to her mother as well. It might be the only unsuccessful moment during this triumph.

In the end, it was a sigh of relief that her mother eventually witnessed her daughter creating history. This failed phone call had its advantages as well, as she eventually after a few weeks got a deal with Motorolla. It is safe to say that alls well that ends well for the Russian superstar.
