Maria Kirilenko’s “Superstar Ring” Plus an Australian Guy Who Can’t Say “Ovechkin”

Maria Kirilenko reached the fourth round of the Australian Open by beating Belgium’s Yanina Wickmayer in straight sets. Speaking with Some Guy after the game, Maria showed off her engagement ring to Alex Ovechkin. Ovechkin, by the way, is a name that interviewer seemed unable to say. Maria took it all in stride, turning an awkward interview into a pretty darn charming moment.
Nice catch, Ovi.
One piece of breaking news: Maria says the couple has not set a wedding date yet.
