Grigor Dimitrov sought the famous tennis player at four in the morning
In New York, a presentation of the book by Maria SHARAPOVA "Unstoppable: my life so far" was held. The memoirs came out on English language, the Russian version will appear no earlier than October. But Express Gazeta was not accustomed to waiting. Do you want to know why Masha broke up with a basketball player from Slovenia, Sasha VUJACIC? And why does Serena WILLIAMS hate our tennis player so much? Then read on!
American tennis player Andy Roddick, son of a television mogul from the United States Charlie Ebersol, basketball player from Slovenia Sasha Vujacic, Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov- this is not a complete list of potential suitors Maria Sharapova. But at 30, Masha is still single.
They are all amazing. And, probably, that's why I'm alone now, not with them, - Sharapova subtly pricked her former lovers. And added that her heart is in this moment free. Perhaps the closest to becoming the husband of a tennis star was the two-meter basketball player Sasha Vujacic.
“I didn’t have a serious relationship until almost 22 years old,” Maria laments in the book. - At the end of 2009, a friend invited me to a barbecue. Called in advance and asked if I would mind if she invited someone else. I agreed, not understanding exactly what she meant.
For Sasha VUYACHICH, SHARAPOVA's success and fame have become a big problem
Vujacic entered her house when we were already having supper. His hair was still wet from the shower. He was wearing a tracksuit, both knees were covered with ice. I liked him right away. Saturday night and he just finished training? This is definitely my type. That evening we ate fried fish fillets, chatted, and then exchanged numbers.
We had a mutual understanding and closeness, which, as it seemed to me then, are possible only between two athletes. Sasha is from Slovenia and played for the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA. He had a home in Los Angeles, he was a professional athlete, tall, with an Eastern European mentality. Everything looked great on paper.
But certain problems arose from the very beginning. For example, when we were in Los Angeles, he always insisted that we stay with him, although my house is much larger and cozier and located on the same street. It was purely male ego. He wanted to be in charge, to be in the center of everything, to control everything. He did not like to remember that I earn more than he does. That my house is bigger, that I have achieved more in tennis than he has in basketball. We never discussed it.
Sharapova admitted that Dimitrov's bold question took her by surprise About a year later we got engaged. Then I definitely was not yet ready for the wedding and did not even think about it. We got engaged to announce: I have only him, and he has only me. He gave me a ring with a huge stone, which I took off only during matches.
But over time, my success, my fame, my wealth became more and more of a problem for him. Eventually, I began to feel trapped. And gradually began to move away from him.
When Sharapova won the Roland Garros tournament in Paris in 2012, she called Vuyachich from the locker room.
“It was heard that he was in training,” the tennis player recalls. - Sasha congratulated me. I began to thank him for being with me in difficult moments, encouraging me when I lost heart, believing in me, pushing me forward. I was all emotional. It was felt that he was happy for me and touched. But when Sasha called in the evening, he was in a completely different mood. He was displeased, almost angry. I asked what happened? He replied that he had watched the match and the awards ceremony at home. I understood what happened. He got mad because I didn't thank him in my speech. And he couldn't think of anything else. I have been waiting for some sign from him for many months - and I got it. In one single sentence. Our relationship is over."
Let us add that when Marat Safin won the Australian Open in 2005, he thanked Daria Zhukova whom he called the bride. However, she soon went to Roman Abramovich. Perhaps Sharapova, remembering that story, did not want to run ahead of the locomotive.
Maria SHARAPOVA "I know that I want you"
Maria also told about the affair with the Bulgarian Dimitrov, who is four years younger than her. They were brought together by the agent of the Russian tennis player Max Eisenbud. Sharapova, who played at the tournament in Beijing, received a message from him: "Grigor Dimitrov wants to know your number." Max at that moment was in Miami, and there it was ... four in the morning!
“I asked why? He replied: are you fucking stupid? You do not understand?! I looked for information about Grigor on the Internet, about his age. Is he even an adult? Just now, he's 21. "Give him my mailbox," I wrote to Max. I remember at Wimbledon I saw a tall, thin boy with a slightly self-confident grin - he knows that he is quite attractive. I told the coach: “It’s good that there was no such player in my generation. This is fraught with my career, I would be distracted by it!” I gave Grigor my messenger number for BlackBerry. Then she gave me her mobile number.
My mom called these calls therapy sessions because I had a smile on my face after every conversation. We talked remotely, but at some point he was on the threshold of my apartment - with red roses and a huge teddy bear. We spent a lot of time together over the course of several weeks. Then Grigor asked if I wanted to be his girlfriend. He took me by surprise. I wasn't ready for something like this. He said he was willing to wait until I was ripe.
I asked myself: why would this handsome boy wait for a woman who is not ready for a relationship? And she said to him: “Okay, but I don’t know when I’ll be ready. Maybe in a couple of months." He replied: “Okay, I will wait. I know what I want and I want you." I watched him grow, win victories, then fall back, then start winning again. I really enjoyed watching him play. I remember watching Gregory practice on Christmas Day. It was just me, my best friend Estelle, him and his sparring partner. That sunny day in California was not at all associated with the approaching Christmas, ”recalls Sharapova.

In 2015 they broke up. But, apparently, they maintained a rather warm relationship. At the tournament in Madrid, which took place in May, Maria and Grigor were photographed together. They sat on the podium and had a nice conversation about something.
Sharapova did not forget about her main offender - an American Serena Williams. After two victories back in 2004, Masha lost 19 matches in a row to her.
“When the 2004 Wimbledon final ended, Serena hugged me and congratulated me. She even smiled, but inside she had a different feeling. When I walked into the locker room, Williams was just sobbing. I tried to leave as soon as possible, but she noticed my presence. Serena soon told her friend, who then told me, "I'm never going to lose to that little bitch again." It seems to me that she hated me because I, being a little fragile girl, defeated her in the Wimbledon final, ”says Maria.
According to the former first racket of the world, many tennis players simply envy her. “Some girls were crazy that I often appeared in commercials. Elena Dementieva I went to tournaments with my mom. She always looked at me sideways, literally bored her eyes. Once, Dementieva's mother complained to my massage therapist: "Elena cannot conclude a single contract in Japan, because Maria took them all," says Sharapova's book.
A native of Plovdiv, Nikoletta Lozanova in 2006 became the Playboy Model of the Year (Playmate of the Year) in Bulgaria. The portfolio of the 27-year-old star includes shooting for men's magazines FHM and Maxim, advertising campaigns Dsquared, and more recently, she combines her main activities and work on TV.

At one time, Lozanova met with football player Nikolai Mikhailov, and in 2011, she married Partizan striker Valery Bozhinov, from which in 2012 she gave birth to a daughter, Nicole. In the spring of 2015, the couple announced their divorce.
Interestingly, Dimitrov's manager denied the connection of his client with the model. Nicoletta spoke ambiguously on this topic.
As for Sharapova, according to media reports, it was she who initiated the break in relations with Dimitrov. A 28-year-old Russian woman witnessed phone sex between Grigor and a certain competitor whose name is not known for certain.
Dimitrov allegedly asked for forgiveness and assured that this would not happen again, but Maria reminded him of all the previous sins and even that he had met with Serena Williams before her. In such a situation, the world tennis prima behaved like a real iron lady, and the Bulgarian tennis player was put out the door. Maria has not yet commented on the breakup.
As Dni.Ru wrote, experts tried to explain why a successful tennis player is unlucky with novels. According to the well-known psychic Ziraddin Rzayev, Sharapova was cursed by a certain woman. He is sure that until 2016 the Russian woman is unlikely to meet her betrothed, but the next year should turn her life upside down. The psychic predicted Masha's marriage, the birth of a child and a difficult divorce.
She broke up with her boyfriend, a Bulgarian tennis player, whom she had been dating since the end of 2012.
“Rumors about the breakup of Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov have been confirmed,”
ESPN columnist Darren Rovel tweeted. So far, representatives of the athletes have not confirmed or denied the information.
In September last year, the couple's separation was already reported, but later a refutation followed.
“I understand your interest,” Maria said then. Thank you for being so interested in my life. Gregory and I are fine."
Note that in February 2015, the athletes were planning a wedding, but postponed it for unknown reasons.
Nevertheless, the Bulgarian throughout recent months More than once he spoke in the press about his strong relationship with Sharapova, and therefore it was quite difficult to predict a split in this pair.
In June of this year, he told how he met Maria.
“We were both in China - I was in Shanghai, and she was in Beijing,” Grigor recalled. - I sat down to dinner and watched a match with her participation on TV. Then I decided to send her an email. We began to correspond, and at the end of the season we met. Many are afraid to even approach her, considering Maria impregnable, but I felt confident thanks to communication via the Internet. I understand why people call us the "golden" couple, but to me, she's just Maria. I perceive it differently than others. I care about her human qualities. We spend our free time in the same way as other couples: we walk, have dinner, go shopping.
Sometimes I send her flowers just like that, for no reason. My record is a bouquet of 500 roses.”
At the recent Wimbledon tournament, Dimitrov said that the Russian woman sometimes gives him professional tennis advice.
“What exactly are the words she says to me? I'll probably keep this to myself. But in principle, it's great that my girlfriend is a tennis player. One piece of advice can have a big impact on my game. So this is a plus in our relationship. I always appreciate everything that she tells me, ”said the Bulgarian.
True, Sharapova's advice, apparently, did not help the tennis player much. In terms of sports results, Dimitrov was noticeably inferior to his girlfriend. In his entire career, he won only four ATP tournaments in singles(Sharapova has 35 singles titles in the WTA) and once reached the semi-finals of the Grand Slam tournament (Maria won such trophies five times).
Previously, Sharapova met with another athlete - Slovenian basketball player Sasha Vujacic, who played in the NBA with the Lakers, Clippers and New Jersey, and now plays in the Turkish championship.
The efforts of tennis players Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov to maintain the appearance of a relationship were unsuccessful. The American journalist of the ESPN TV channel Darren Rowell in his Twitter reported that the athletes broke up.
"Rumors that Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov are no longer together have been confirmed," he wrote.
Later, Dimitrov spoke about this. “Our paths diverged. We experienced wonderful moments together. I wish her great happiness and success in life and tennis,” Reuters quotes the Bulgarian.
The fact that the golden couple - that's what they call Maria and Grigor - broke up, they wrote back in mid-September last year. The reason for such speculation was that the athletes unfollowed each other on Twitter. In addition, they did not support each other during the US Open championship: when Masha played, Grigor was not in the stands, the tennis player did the same with her friend. At the same time, neither Sharapova nor Dimitrov made an official statement about the break.

However, already at the end of September, Masha announced that nothing of the kind had happened. At a press conference in Beijing, the capital of China, where the 2014 China Open was held, one of the journalists asked the athlete a question about her relationship with her lover. "Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern and concern for me,” Sharapova replied.
Grigor Dimitrov also indirectly denied rumors of a breakup with Sharapova. He attended starting match his beloved at competitions in the capital of the Middle Kingdom.

In early June of this year, the famous Bulgarian gave an interview to The Telegraph, in which he spoke about his love for Maria Sharapova. According to him, they spend time in the same way as other couples: walking, shopping, going to restaurants. Also, the 24-year-old athlete admitted that he perceives his companion differently than everyone else: “It may sound rather banal, but for me she is just Maria.”
The relationship between Mary and Grigor was complicated by constant separations. Often they play on opposite sides of the globe, but even if male and women's tournaments coincide, and this happens 15 times a year, the coaches do not allow them to meet. “It's not as easy as everyone thinks. Yes, we understand everything, but it is very difficult to endure the absence of another person, ”Dimitrov explained.
Dimitrov also remembered how their love story began with Maria.
“We were both in China: I was in Shanghai, she was in Beijing. I was having lunch when I saw her playing on TV. I immediately emailed her. So we started talking, and a month later, when the season ended, we met, ”he said.
Maria Sharapova, 27, and Grigor Dimitrov, 23, began dating in late 2012. In 2013, one of the Bulgarian publications wrote that Sharapova was expecting a child from Dimitrov. However, Maria's agent denied this information.
Before Dimitrov, Sharapova dated former New Jersey Nets basketball player Sasha Vujacic for three years. In October 2010, the couple announced their engagement and began preparing for the wedding. However, in August 2012, Maria announced that she and Vuyachich had decided to leave at the end of spring. Grigor Dimitrov, in turn, met with American Serena Williams.

The Bulgarian tennis player is currently coached by Daniel Vallverdu. As a prize, the athlete earned over $8.5 million.
Hobbies outside the tennis court
The Bulgarian athlete spends most of his time on tennis court- Trainings and competitions accompany him since childhood. Therefore, Grigor's hobbies are not related to sports: he likes to collect watches, play various computer games, ride with the breeze in sports cars. By the way, one of the cars, Porshe, was presented to him for his birthday by a former lover - the famous Russian tennis player, ex-first racket of the world Maria Sharapova.
This beautiful couple started dating in 2012. A small age difference did not become an obstacle to the relationship between the Russian prima and the Bulgarian heartthrob. Their star romance began in China in 2012. Once, while at a tournament in Shanghai, during lunch, Grigor saw on the TV screen a match with Maria Sharapova, who performed in Beijing. Of course, even to this day he knew who Sharapova was. At that moment, he wanted to get to know her personally, and Grigor sent an e-mail to Maria. Within a month, young people corresponded, and when the tennis season ended, they made a first date. At first, no one knew that famous tennis players were dating. Only in May 2013, the ubiquitous paparazzi were able to photograph them walking together through the streets of Madrid.
Grigor treated Maria with great tenderness, and she somehow admitted that this man was the best thing that had ever happened to her. Once, when the Russian woman was at a tournament in Stuttgart, he sent her a magnificent bouquet of 500 roses.
Unfortunately for the fans of Maria and Grigor, in the summer of 2015 they announced their separation. Perhaps it played a role that professional tennis, which they both play, requires constant participation in tournaments from January to November. Therefore, the lovers did not have the opportunity to be together, with the exception of participating in combined tournaments, which are not so many in the tennis calendar. According to some reports, Maria could not forgive Grigor for his betrayal - phone sex with a stranger.
After Dimitrov officially confirmed the information about the break with Maria Sharapova, he said that he wants to fully concentrate on his game. At that time, he was one of the 30 strongest tennis players in the world and since then he has really improved his position, becoming the 11th racket of the world.
At various times, the Bulgarian athlete was fond of other girls. Several of his novels are known. At the age of 17, he dated Slovak tennis player Romana Karolin Tabak. A year later, a girl from Bulgaria Simona Stefanova became his girlfriend, with whom he maintained a romantic relationship until 2012.
In 2012, there were rumors that Grigor Dimitrov was dating an American tennis player, the famous Serena Williams, who is 10 years older than him. But there was not a single photo in the press that would clearly indicate the romance of tennis players. After Dimitrov began dating Sharapova, he confirmed that there was still an affair between him and Serena. But the relationship did not work out, and they broke up.
After an affair with Maria Sharapova in 2016, Grigor began to be associated with the name of sexy Nicole Scherzinger, an American singer and dancer. In this pair, a noticeable difference in age is striking - Nicole is 13 years older than her partner. In mid-May 2017, insiders reported that Grigor and Nicole had taken a break in their relationship. According to the singer's entourage, the couple is close to breaking up. Perhaps this is due to the fact that Grigor again began to communicate with Maria Sharapova. During her disqualification, he strongly supported Maria through the media, and in May 2017, at a tournament in Madrid, they were again seen laughing.
