Maria Sharapova spotted with boyfriend Sasha Vujacic in Italy
It is always interesting to get a glimpse of what famous people are up to when they are not performing in front of a grand audience. Fans are always happy with whatever coverage they can get regarding their favourite celebrities.
Maria Sharapova is a Russian born professional tennis player with a never ending fan list. This former world number one has three Grand Slam titles under her name. She made her professional career breakthrough at the age of seventeen when she upset the world number one Serena Williams at Wimbledon in 2004, where she won her first Grand Slam title.
This young tennis star extends her public profile beyond tennis and has been involved in other activities such as modelling and fashion designing. She is not only good at her game of tennis but is also smoking hot. Her dazzling looks have gotten her far in her career as she has signed many modelling contracts with brands like Nike, Canon, Prince and the list goes on. She has also featured in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. With a body like hers why not flaunt it? Her remarkable career has made her one of the most famous female athletes. Which has been proved further as Sharapova was the most searched for athlete on the internet search engine Yahoo in both 2005 and 2008.
Recently, Sharapova has not been at the top of her game in tennis. She was knocked out in the fourth round at Wimbledon 2010 after losing to Serena Williams, who was the champion at this year’s Grand Slam. After Wimbledon she has been working on her fashion designing skills. This tennis diva has claimed to have had an interest in fashion designing for quite a long time now and as she was dismissed from Wimbledon early this year she took this as an opportunity to work on her very own clothing line. She has been designing tennis dresses like the ones she plays in and has made them available for the public. Other than playing tennis, this is something she enjoys doing and has launched a clothing brand under her name.
Sharapova has faced a stressful point in her professional tennis career this year by not getting far in Wimbledon and promoting her brand has been extremely exhausting. At times like this even celebrities need a break. Sharapova was rescued by her boyfriend who took her on a vacation to the small town of Udine in Italy to help her blow off some steam after the hectic time she has been having in her career.
The tennis princess is currently dating Sasha Vujacic who is a professional basketball player of Serbian descent. He plays for the Los Angeles Lakers and is one of the team’s valued assets. Sasha and Maria have been dating each other since 2009 and are seen to be happy with each other. They make a fantastic couple as they are both very tall and their heights complement each other. Moreover, their physical appearances master the term good-looks making them absolutely perfect for each other.
They couple was spotted walking the streets of Udine, holding hands and chatting with each other cheerfully. They were also reported to have attended the wedding of Sasha’s friend in this small town in north-eastern Italy. Sounds like a very joyful trip indeed.
The Serbian basketball player is said to have started his professional career by playing for the Snaidero Udine in Italy. Perhaps this is why he knew that this was the best place to bring his girlfriend for a great holiday.
Joy is what was needed by Maria Sharapova, after a tiring schedule and she is lucky to have Sasha Vujacic as a boyfriend who provided it for her. She told the press that she has had an amazing vacation in Italy and is now ready to start preparing her game of tennis on the hard courts and will be participating in the tournament at the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford at the end of this month. She has slightly altered her plans this year and is staying in Europe for her practice.
Seems like this tennis superstar has found peace in the European lands and she has her beloved man, Sasha, to thank for that.
