Sasha Vujacic of Slovenia and the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers is engaged to marry tennis star Maria Sharapova. Vujacic said he proposed on the one-year anniversary of their first meeting at a friend’s barbecue. Vujacic said a wedding date hasn’t been set.

Sharapova won her first major title at Wimbledon in 2004 when she was 17-years-old. She went on to win the 2006 U.S. Open and 2008 Australian Open and also reached number one in the WTA rankings. After shoulder surgery and an elbow injury forced her to miss time over the past two seasons, Sharapova is currently ranked 18th in the WTA.
