Needless to say, Webber enjoyed the company of his beautiful passenger. &ldquo;It was great to drive Maria along. She was a lovely passenger. In fact, she actually wanted me to go quicker,&rdquo; said Webber, who has played quite a bit of tennis himself as a kid.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m Australian and we love our tennis, so I grew up playing the game a lot back home. I have some very good friends, who have played at the highest level too like Lleyton Hewitt and Pat Rafter,&rdquo; he said.
In fact, the former Red Bull teammate of four-time F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel, also went on to make quite an accurate prediction for the final. &ldquo;Today, Maria played very well and she looks very strong going into tomorrow&rsquo;s final,&rdquo; he said after Sharapova semi-final win over Sara Errani on Saturday.
World No 9 Sharapova rightly emerged victorious in Sunday&rsquo;s final beating Serbian Ivanovic 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.
