The Russian sports glamour couple of ice hockey’s Alex Ovechkin and tennis player Maria Kirilenko appear to be enjoying a romantic break in Paris as Kirilenko plays in the French Open, after Ovechkin accompanied her to training Sunday.
Kirilenko, seeded 16th for the tournament, trained on the Roland Garros clay for an hour with Ovechkin watching from the sidelines.
Two-time NHL MVP Ovechkin posted a picture of the couple on his public Facebook page Saturday with the caption “Maria and I in the city of love.”
Kirilenko has been drawn against local player Victoria Larriere in the first round of the French Open.
Fresh from leading the Washington Capitals to the NHL Eastern Conference final, Ovechkin helped Russia to victory in the world ice hockey championships earlier this month.
