Fresh off her victory at the Brisbane International final, the tennis sensation arrived in another part of the country, gearing up for the 2015 Australian Open. Maria, aged 27, was accompanied by her boyfriend, Grigor Dimitrov, 23, and her mother, exuding style with her nautical-inspired outfit that included adorable navy shorts.
The one-time Australian Open champion and two-time runner-up effortlessly displayed her off-duty fashion sense. She sported relaxed waves in her hair and adorned herself with a pair of chic oversized sunglasses. Maria didn’t need high heels to accentuate her long, golden legs; instead, she confidently strode in flat, strappy pumps and carried a studded handbag elegantly on her elbow.
Maria and her boyfriend, Grigor, both helped with her tennis equipment as they made their way through the arrivals area. Maria had sparked engagement rumors with Grigor in 2014 when she began wearing rings on her fourth finger. During her off-duty airport appearance, she didn’t shy away from adding more accessories, further fueling the speculation.
After ending her engagement with professional basketball player Sasha Vujacic in 2012, Maria has been in a relationship with the Bulgarian professional tennis player for two years. Grigor, at 23, didn’t experience the same success as Maria, as he was knocked out of the Brisbane competition by the formidable Roger Federer.
Maria, on the other hand, emerged victorious in the tournament’s final, defeating Ana Ivanovic and boosting her confidence for the upcoming Australian Open. She had previously clinched the championship in 2008 and had come close as a runner-up in 2007 and 2012.
Eager to define her season with a winning streak, the confident tennis player secured her victory in straight sets and set her sights on a second triumph on the Melbourne courts. Maria Sharapova expressed her readiness ahead of the January competition, commencing on Monday, January 19, saying, “I played four good matches against very different types of opponents. I couldn’t have asked for better preparation.”
