Signs Pointing to the End of an Era

[THE FIGHTER]

And perhaps the start of an even stronger era.

Grigor Dimitrov's recent outing with rising tennis athlete Canadian Eugenie Bouchard on Feb. 24 sparked rumours that the Bulgarian athlete may be having problems with his relationship with Maria Sharapova.

Rising tennis athletes Dimitrov and Bouchard played an exhibition game on a floating tennis court on Monday in Acapulco. The duo took a break from training for the Abierto Mexicano Telcel tournament to delight their fans. Several pictures of Dimitrov and Bouchard, who were all smiles, have surfaced online. The duo also even got on a helicopter ride. As such, Dimitrov and Bouchard can't escape the prying eyes of people, can they?

Dimitrov was quoted saying that her little 'date' with Bouchard was one of the best experience he ever had on tour. "It is pretty special and we definitely have something to talk about in the future," Dimitrov told ATPWorldTour.com.

As Dimitrov was enjoying his fun time with Bouchard, Sharapova seemed on the lookout for other companion. The former top-ranked player revealed to Tennis Earth that her Stuart Weitzman boots are her constant companion.

"My black Stuart Weitzman boots will be my constant companions," said Sharapova.

************** wrote that Sharapova's recent claim about having those footwears as her companions acted as a "catalyst for the rumours of her split with Dimitrov."

Bouchard is the New Sharapova

Bouchard's agent, Sam Duvall, once said that the 19-year-old Canadian athlete can certainly challenge Sharapova in terms of marketability. Duvall said that Bouchard can be the most famous tennis player in the world. "She's got the personality, she's got the game, she's got the looks," he said. "I really think that she has the ability to be more marketable than Maria Sharapova." According to Duvall, Bouchard looks up to Maria. The Russian athlete was reportedly Bouchard's role model while growing up.

Sharapova better hold Dimitrov's hand tight then. She has to make sure that even though she is out of Dimitrov's sight, she is never out of his mind. Bouchard probably means no harm, anyway.

Dimitrov keeps looking to upgrade. Maybe he could start dating some big name celebrity. He could bring tennis to the next level.

'Her' little date?

Terrible sensationalism designed to attract clicks.

I don't know what's going on between Genie/Dimitrov and Maria/Dimitrov but the comments were taken out of context.

Maria's comments were from an interview at the start of the Winter Olympics, Feb 6 -

GLAMOUR: What are your secrets for staying warm and still looking slim with layers?
MS: Chic and classic coats that aren't bulky but sophisticated. A tie [or belt] at the waist, a lighter-weight wool, or simple outerwear piece with a detailed collar work.

GLAMOUR: What about shoes?!
MS: My black Stuart Weitzman boots will be my constant companions. Footwear is a priority, so I always go for the classic riding boot and pack a black patent pump, which I know will work with everything.

Dimitrov's comments, Feb 24 -

“This is definitely the best experience I’ve ever had on tour,” said Dimitrov, the fourth seed this week at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel. “I was happy to be able to do something like this. It is pretty special and we definitely have something to talk about in the future. It was nice to get to do this in such good weather, great city. It was very exciting!”

Now where's that Genie-ogling-Sugarpova's-candy GIF? or the Pacific Ocean comment? :twisted:

Lame,lame,lame - why would Grigor want a pale imitation when he can have the real thing? He lives with Maria in her giant LA mansion,he'd throw that away to shack up with some 20 year old who probably still lives with her parents when not playing?

Sharapova's face has never been good. While Bouchard's face is one of the best on tour.

Body-wise neither are top notch but Sharapova's height is a turnoff.

Personality-wise its an easy win for Bouchard.

Well each to their own,but I'd have to strongly disagree with everything there.

Very astute observation. This is what a very intelligent poaster once said here about Sharapova's personality :

Nobody has ever liked Sharapova, so its not surprising. If you talk to other players on tour about her, Sharapova's personality and level of class is no different to a rat deep in the sewer.

 

[Midaso240]

Sharapova's personality is a large part of why she is so attractive. Bouchard is as dull as dishwater

That quote has nothing to do with me^

Agreed.

As usual, this is blown out of proportion.
Dimitrov has been taking female tennistas on 'winter vacations' for years. There are numerous pics of he and Robson (Pretty sure Bouchard was on those trips, as she and Robson are sisters from another mother).

btw just watch the ESPN AO interview with GD, and one could infer that there all is not well with MS & GD
