Tennis Aces Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick in Love, with Poker?
Both Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova are well-known for their on-court tennis exploits. Each, at some point, has reached the pinnacle of his or her sport, with Roddick having won a Grand Slam tennis title at the U.S. Open and Sharapova winning one at Wimbledon. Recently, the two have been reported as romantically linked. Oddly, however, their romance seems to have flourished away from the tennis courts, in a poker room.
