Sharapova, Dimitrov discuss other things than tennis

Maria Sharapova said that she and boyfriend, 22-year old Grigor Dimitrov, occasionally discuss tennis during their private time and the Russian superstar stressed that she’s not been mentoring her boyfriend of more than a year. Dimitrov is four years younger than Sharapova.

“He’s not going to like that question,” she said when asked. “Maybe I’ve been on the tour for longer, but he’s played this sport for a very long time—since he was a little kid. He knows what to do probably better than I do.”

“Of course we share a lot of the same things just because we have an elephant in the room that’s called tennis,” she said. “But there are so many other things to life besides tennis, and there are a lot more things to discuss than forehands and backhands and strings and racquets, which we share similar ideas and things of. Yeah, that’s been really nice,” she added.
