OVA BOARD Tennis beauty Maria Sharapova sizzles in a black bikini on Venice boat trip with fiance Alexander Gilkes
MARIA SHARAPOVA showed she has maintained her incredible figure even after retiring from tennis as she enjoyed a boat holiday in Venice with fiance Alexander Gilkes.
The 34-year-old quit the sport last year after winning the career Grand Slam and a silver medal at the London Olympics in 2012.
Sharapova, wearing a black bikini, was seen chilling with her partner Gilkes and some friends on board a boat.
It’s believed the Russian star is in Italy for the Venice Film Festival as she was recently spotted at a movie premiere on Thursday evening.
Sharapova called time on her 19-year career in 2020 after winning five Grand Slam titles.
She famously won Wimbledon aged 17 in 2004 before going on to become world No1 a year later – the first Russian woman to achieve the feat.
Sharapova then won the US Open in 2006, the Australian Open in 2008 and completed the career Grand Slam at the French Open in 2012.
The tennis sensation won her final slam at Roland Garros two years later.
