Here is the moment everyone is talking about. No, that is AFTER the winning point!
Yahoo Sports: "Russian tennis player Maria Kirilenko gestures to the crowd as she celebrates victory over compatriot Maria Sharapova in their women's singles match on the first day of play at the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne on January 18, 2010. Kirilenko won 7-6. 3-6. 6-4."
She shushed the crowd.
Congratulations, Makiri. [A] A real friend & the real deal!

You misunderstand, Nella. The crowd, which had been subdued through most of the match, in the third set shifted toward support of the perceived underdog. Upon the win, they began to celebrate & cheer Kiri. THAT is what she was shushing--she indicated to them she did not want a big celebration--which they respected. [H]
"That's the way the world works... right now." --Maria Sharapova at 17
