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.
As the Australian Open is currently taking place in Melbourne at the same time as the Aussie Millions poker tournament, Roddick and Sharapova have been seen keeping an eye on each other as well as on each other's cards at the local Crown Casino. With the couple frequenting the casino's poker room to play a few hands of their own, one wonders if they can maintain the mental focus needed to play in the Grand Slam event.
With the Australian Open still in its initial rounds, only time will tell whether Roddick and Sharapova can mentally tear themselves from pontificating about poker, and each other, to emerge victorious on the the courts. One thing's for sure though, a mixed-doubles teaming of this king and queen of tennis makes for an exceptionally good-looking pair.
