She is a multiple Grand Slam champion and one of the most influential sports celebrities in the world. He a rising star that has long been labelled as the next big thing in men's tennis. Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov form the hottest, most powerful tennis couple of the moment.
The two hooked up last spring, just around the time Grigor was making headlines with his stunning win over world No.1, Novak Djokovic. Interesting enough, their careers went in different directions since. The young Bulgarian took off, winning his first ATP titles, breaking into the top 20, and reaching his maiden Grand Slam quarterfinal at the Australian Open earlier this year. Sharapova on the other hand went through some rather dark times, battling a nasty shoulder injury and going titleless since Stuttgart, last April.
If Grigor has been rumored to have dated none other than Sharapova's nemesis, American Serena Williams, Maria has a rich history of celebrity boyfriends—ranging from Andy Roddick, to Maroon 5's Adam Levine or long-time fiancee, Slovenian pro basketball player, Sasha Vujacic.
Although a bit surprising, this couple is threatening to take over the tennis world. Sharapova is renowned for her determination and iron will, while Grigor is just beginning to fully unleash his lethal games. Just last week, the two love birds were victories in Stuttgart, respectively Bucharest, proving they are game on for a deep run at the French Open later this spring.
