Bulgaria's rising tennis star Grigor Dimitrov has told Vogue that he is happy in his relationship with prominent Russian player Maria Sharapova.

The American fashion magazine has published in its September issue an interview with the 22-year-old Bulgarian, bTV informs.

“To say that our relationship is going normal won’t be enough. Everything between us goes perfectly well, though both Maria and I don’t want to talk about our personal life in public.”, said in the interview Dimitrov, stressing how much better he performs when his loved one is nearby.

The Vogue magazine even placed Grigor and Maria among the best sports couples in the world, following Olympic Alpine skier Lindsey Vonn with golf titan Tiger Woods , and North Irish golfer Rory McIlroy with the Danish tennis champ Caroline Wozniacki.
