Maria Sharapova got sexy for her boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov’s home country Bulgaria’s Esquire cover. Looks like the tennis couple is still going strong despite their split to train independently for French Open 2015.

The fact that Maria Sharapova is gracing the covers of magazines in Bulgaria means that she feels comfortable in her relationship with Grigor Dimitrov.

According to Toronto Sun, “Maria Sharapova is known for wowing us on the tennis court, but now she's heating up the cover of Esquire's Bulgarian issue.”

Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov may have agreed to split to concentrate on their clay court season. Seeing how they both have been faltering, they may need to train independently to prepare for the French Open 2015.

Grigor Dimitrov, who usually gets his girlfriend to take pictures for his Instagram, took a selfie to show that he and Maria Sharapova are going their separate ways for the time being.

That may be the smart thing to do as the clay court season is in full swing. According to the Guardian, “The three-times defending champion Maria Sharapova was bounced out of the Porsche Grand Prix by Angelique Kerber of Germany, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, in the second round of the Stuttgart tournament.”

He also didn’t perform very well at Monte Carlo 2015, which means that he needs to train harder if he wants to have a decent shot at winning French Open 2015.

But Maria Sharapova has such a strong work ethic that it may be scaring her boyfriend Grigor DImitrov. After Billie Jean King praised the Russian player’s work ethic, Grigor Dimitrov went to Monaco to get into the mindset for the upcoming French Open 2015.

Maria Sharapova may have gone with him, but it’s unclear if, at the end, she chose to stay in Manhattan Beach instead of Monaco.

The fans are hoping that the world number 2 will step up her game at French Open 2015.

In a recent interview with Reuters, Maria Sharapova confirmed some details about her rivalry with Serena Williams.

“She’s at the peak of her career. I am now number two in the world,” she said. “I feel like we’re still driven and hungry to be the best tennis players. I don’t think anyone in the tennis world believed that, in 10 years’ time, we would still be rivals. I think it’s an incredible story.”

As most of her fans know, the rivalry between Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams hasn’t strictly been professional. They did once fight over Grigor Dimitrov as well!
