Congratulations to Russian tennis star Maria Kirilenko, who will undoubtedly become the next reason why Alex Ovechkin isn’t the same player he was or is playing better than ever. One of the two.
David Abrutyn of IMG congratulated Ovechkin, 27, and Kirilenko, 25, on their engagement on Monday morning, as the Washington Capitals captain asked his girlfriend of over a year for her hand in marriage. Ovechkin has been playing for Dynamo Moscow of the KHL during the NHL lockout; Kirilenko is 14th in the WTA world rankings.
