Here we take a look at the Wimbledon star's life off the courts. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Grigor is currently ranked no. 21 in the world Credit: EPA Grigor is a professional tennis player who spends much of his life on the ATP Tour. Born May 16 1991, in Bulgaria, Grigor is yet to win a major Grand Slam title, but he has certainly won the hearts of some of Hollywood's most beautiful stars. Eiza Gonzalez (2025 - Present) 7 Eiza has made a name for herself in Hollywood before meeting Grigor Credit: Getty Rumours surrounding Grigor's love life resurfaced in recent months following speculation of a burgeoning romance with Eiza Gonzalez. The world No 21 and Hollywood actress Eiza went public with their relationship in April at the Madrid Open. READ MORE TENNIS NET LOSS Brit star stunned in never-before-seen moment before Wimbledon champ's gesture The tennis star received a celebratory kiss from Eiza on the cheek after he defeated Nicolas Jarry to reach the fourth round. The actress, who is 35 years old, shot to fame as Monica 'Darling' Costello in the 2017 hit Baby Driver, alongside Ansel Elgort. The Hobbs & Shaw actress is from Mexico and gained popularity in Spanish-language television and films before going to Hollywood. There has been no official confirmation on their relationship status. 7 Wimbledon 2025 LIVE - follow all the latest scores and updates from a thrilling fortnight at SW19 Madalina Ghenea (2023) Before finding love with Eiza, Grigor spent over a year single, following the end of his relationship with Madalina Ghenea. The Bulgarian tennis star started dating Madalina at the start of 2023. 7 The couple were only together for a short time Credit: Getty Throughout their relationship, the Romanian was often seen supporting her beau at some of the biggest games of his career. Despite her busy schedule as a supermodel and actress, having starred as Sophia Loren in the series House of Gucci and alongside Ed Westwick in Deep Fear, she was often courtside.

But from the moment their relationship became known, they faced scrutiny and rumours around whether they were still together. Busy schedules and countless rumours of break-ups plagued their relationship, which eventually ended in 2019. Maria Sharapova (2012-2015) With life on the tour, the idea of dating a fellow tennis player would seem enticing due to the difficult schedules. 7 The pair were the next tennis power couple, but broke up after three years Credit: Getty That's why the long-term relationship of Maria Sharapova and Grigor seemed like the "perfect match". The couple started dating in 2012, and their relationship became public in 2013. The highest-paid sports woman in the world, at the time, was five years older than Grigor, who was only 23 during their relationship. However, after three years together, the couple broke up due to their "split paths". Serena Williams (2012) While this relationship is only speculated by fans, Serena Williams was rumoured to be dating the tennis star in 2012. 7 Serena won Wimbledon and the Olympic medal in 2012 Credit: Getty The couple never officially confirmed their relationship and still speak regularly, according to Grigor.

Hurdler gets model deals after winning race with penis falling out of his shorts
American hurdler Chris Robinson hit the headlines after a wardrobe malfunction saw his penis fall out of his shorts during the 400m hurdles at the Golden Spike Ostrava on June 24 American hurdler Chris Robinson grabbed headlines for an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction during the 400-meter hurdles at the Golden Spike Ostrava on June 24, yet it seems the mishap might actually pay off for the athlete. The 24-year-old star, who clinched the 2023 NCAA title in the 400-meter hurdles and participated in the inaugural season of Grand Slam Track, became a viral sensation when his shorts didn't quite cover everything at the Czechia event. Robinson attempted to adjust his shorts while racing but couldn't prevent a reveal as he finished. Despite the distraction, he triumphed with a season-best of 48.05 seconds, a hair's breadth from his personal record. This accidental exposure could spell profitable deals for Robinson outside of his sports career. Underwear brand Shinesty, known for their eccentric designs, has reached out to him to endorse their 'Magnum Pouch Ball Hammock' briefs, boasting a front pouch that's 47 per cent larger than standard. According to TMZ, Robinson is considering Shinesty's proposal. Moreover, Krakatoa, another sportswear brand, has shown an interest in collaborating with him Krakatoa's CEO, Alex Bortoluzzi, stated: "We have a special pouch in front, to keep things separated, and not slapping around." Robinson has enjoyed a remarkable year, winning the 400-meter hurdles title in Czechia and participating in the prestigious Grand Slam Track. His strong performances in Kingston, Miami, and Philadelphia have earned him a substantial £76,000 in prize money. Although he didn't secure top spot in the 400m and 400m hurdles events, Robinson consistently delivered impressive showings, finishing as runner-up four times. He was scheduled to compete in the final Grand Slam Track event in Los Angeles, but it was postponed by the organisers. Michael Johnson, the founder of the event, explained the decision to conclude the inaugural Grand Slam Track season, stating: "The decision to conclude the inaugural Grand Slam Track season is not taken lightly, but one rooted in a belief that we have successfully achieved the objectives we set out to in this pilot season, and the importance of looking towards 2026 and beyond,". He continued, "We launched with a bold vision to reimagine professional track racing and we could not be more excited about what we have accomplished so far, delivering amazing races to a rabid fan base. As we've said all along, we were going to have learnings, make adjustments, and continue to improve." He also noted that "Sometimes we have to make moves that aren't comfortable, but what's most important is the future and sustainability of the league. The global economic landscape has shifted dramatically in the past year, and this business decision has been made to ensure our long-term stability as the world's premier track league. "Our attention is now on 2026, with our eyes set on continuing to deliver the best-in-class storytelling, content, and competition that we have become known for in our debut year. "We are in conversations with potential host cities - many of whom have already thrown their names in the hat - to build out an exciting calendar of events for our fans across the globe. "We are committed to calling Los Angeles home, and look forward to hosting a Slam in LA as part of the 2026 season."
