Maria Sharapova is a Sony Ericsson WTA Tour player, currently ranked 6th. The tennis phenom was born in the Soviet Union and resides in Bradenton, Florida. She is dating Charlie Ebersol, son of NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol and Hollywood actress Susan Saint James.

The budding romance between the 21 year old Sharapova and 25 year old Ebersol has reportedly pleased his famous parents. The Ebersol family suffered great tragedy in 2004 when Charlie and his father were in a plane crash. Charlie’s younger brother Teddy, 14, died at the scene in Montrose County, Colorado. The Teddy Ebersol Red Sox Fields at Lederman Park in Boston was built in memoriam to the young man.

Sharapova has won three Grand Slam singles titles including the 2008 Australian Open. She is coached by her father Yuri Sharapov and former player Michael Joyce.
