Sergei Bubka Jr. says that he and his girlfriend, world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka, don’t talk about tennis often. The two stay together when they are in Monaco, where both are based. "I think it’s better for our relationship," he told the Miami Herald. "If we speak tennis at home it’s going to be tennis 24-7. That could make you go crazy."
The son of a famous pole vaulter, Bubka Jr. was involved in a serious car crash in July 2010 that left him with a significant scar on his head and severe headaches for four months. "I understand how precious life is," he said. "Tennis is a great part, but it’s not the most important part. It’s much more important to stay healthy and enjoy my time with family and friends."
