Maria Sharapova interviewed and took part in a photo shoot for the magazine 'The Edit', Russian responded to questions about the boyfriend:
The 27-years-old has just returned home following nearly three months on the grueling tennis tour, and a brief Mexican holiday with her boyfriend, Bulgarian tennis star Grigor Dimitrov, where paparazzi photos of te couple tell a different story. ''We laugh it off'', Sharapova says of the long lenses that tend to find them when they least exepct it. '' I've always loved the Sherlock Holmest aspect of things. I think, 'Oh my goodness. How did the find us?' We are in the middle of nowhere, just sand and ocean and all of a sudden a boat shows up. When we are at home and away from the sport,we are just two normal people who try to go about our life in a casual way, so it's funny for us''.
Sharapova's conversation is peppered with references to ''the sport'' that has helped her amass an estimated $90million fortune and secure her status as a sports icon. To reach her echelons, of course, the dedication required is all encompassing. Having time for a relationship at all is testament to her compartmentalization, but the fact that Dimitrov is also absorbed in ''the sport'' is no doubt a factor - being the partner of apremier athlete can be lonely; a love affair conduced form the sidelines.
