Former tennis champion Maria Sharapova is enjoying a scenic European vacation with her fiancé, Alexander Gilkes. She recently shared highlights from their trip to the Dolomites, Italy, showcasing moments of relaxation by a pool with mountain views and adventurous activities like hiking and sampling local cuisine.
Sharapova, who retired from professional tennis at age 32 in 2020, continues to show her passion for the sport. She was recently seen at Wimbledon, describing it as her "happy place." Her post-retirement plans involved transitioning to a new career path.
Recognizing the shorter career span for female athletes, Sharapova proactively pursued business education and internships during her playing days. She studied business and interned with figures like Adam Silver at the NBA. This foresight allowed her to build on her successful endorsements, including with Nike and Evian.
Since stepping away from the court, Sharapova has successfully launched her brand, Sugarpova, and made strategic investments in various companies. She also made a guest appearance on "Shark Tank" in 2020, demonstrating her ongoing entrepreneurial spirit.
