Both players are in London for the 2015 Wimbledon Championships. Dimitrov, whose bid to win his first grand slam trophy was halted by Frenchman Richard Gasquet 6-3 6-4 6-4 in the third round, said that he couldn’t watch the matches of her girlfriend as much as he would love to because he needs to make sure that he attends to his body.

Sharapova, on the other hand, revealed in the article that she makes sure that she makes time to watch some of the matches, even if they do not involve his boyfriend, to check out and see what the conditions on the court are.

Sharapova, who won his only Wimbledon trophy so far back in 2004 when she stunned then defending champion Serena Williams, is through to the fourth round after easing past in the early rounds. Sharapova has not dropped a set in the tournament. She will face Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan in the last 16.

Dimitrov and Sharapova officially went public as a couple when they were spotting kissing in the streets of Madrid back in 2013, Womentennisblog reported. Dimitrov is Sharapova’s first relationship after calling off her engagement with professional basketball player Sasha Vujacic.
