Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and other lopsided rivalries in sports

Serena Williams and Maria
Sharapova square off Monday at
the French Open, with Williams
holding a 19-2 edge in their head-
to-head matchups. Sharapova
hasn't beaten Williams since the title match at the 2004 WTA Tour
Championships. Since losing that affair, Williams
has rolled off 18 straight wins,
which is the WTA Tour's longest
active win streak against any one
opponent, and won 36 of the 39
sets the two have played in that span. This got us thinking about
some other notable one-sided
rivalries across sports: College football: Florida vs.
Kentucky This SEC matchup has been
about as lopsided as any rivalry in
college football history. Kentucky
hasn't beaten the Gators since a
10-3 victory at home on Nov. 15,
1986, when Ronald Reagan was in office. The Gators have won 31
consecutive games over the
Wildcats, the fourth-longest win
streak over a major conference
opponent in an uninterrupted
series.Source:ESPN

The Hammers director says that England's top-flight league could be living in "dreamland" if they hope to start play again in three weeks West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady says that the Premier League season should be declared null and void because of coronavirus. Matches in England's top flight have been postponed until at least April 4,  but there is doubt as to whether the campaign might ever be finished due to the pandemic, which the World Health Organisation (WHO) reported on Friday had infected over 132,500 people around the globe. Brady, whose Hammers side sit just two places outside the relegation zone courtesy of goal difference, believes the whole season should be scrapped, despite  Liverpool  leading the way by 25 points and needing just six more to seal a first title in 30 years.
