Maria Sharapova & Sasha Vujacic Split, End Engagement

Maria Sharapova and her fiance, basketball player Sasha Vujacic, have called off their engagement.

“It’s been since the end of spring,” the 25-year-old tennis player said in a post match U.S. Open news conference. “I was waiting for someone to actually ask me that question.”

“I have never really been the person to announce things. I never announced when we were together or never announced we were engaged. I never have in any of my previous relationships, as well,” Maria said (via E! News).

“It was a really nice period of time for both of us, but our career schedules just made it extremely difficult to see each other with the traveling and especially his career move to Turkey,” she added. “But we have a tremendous amount of respect for each other. I still would love to call him as a friend. We spent really great years together.”
