Tennis stars Sharapova and Dimitrov cosy up to each other on the street

It seems Maria Sharapova is proving a lucky charm for Grigor Dimitrov.

Dimitrov snuggled up to the No 2 female player and model the day after defeating Novak Djokovic, the No 1 male player in the world at the Madrid Open. The 21-year-old Bulgarian rising tennis star and the talented 26-year-old Russian beauty were seen publicly displaying their affection during a romantic evening stroll through the streets of Madrid on Wednesday, stopping on a street corner to kiss passionately.

The two lovebirds were dressed comfortably for their walk after a day at the courts.

Walking and talking: The lovebirds strolled through Spain's capital city getting to know each other better

After their passionate kissing interlude, the athletic couple continued to walk and talk around Spain's capital city, with Maria clutching her studly young tennis boyfriends arm with one hand, while interlocking fingers with the other.

Right after upsetting Djokovic on Tuesday in the tournament, Grigor told Sports Illustrated that he was inspired by a 'few words' from his girlfriend that he’ll 'remember definitely for the rest of my life.'

What those words were, exactly, no one but (Grigor and Maria) knows.

Also playing in the Madrid Open, the blonde Russian bombshell had a tougher time in her match against Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania, but ultimately prevailed in two sets.

It's been more than a year since Maria called off her engagement to basketball player Sasha Vujacic last Spring.

'It was obviously a challenging decision, you know, from both of our ends,' the female tennis champ said during an interview in September of 2012. 'We have a tremendous amount of respect for each other. I still would love to call him a friend. We spent really great years together.'

However, it appears Maria may have now found a new athlete to fall for, yet this time in her own sport.
