( CNN ) -- Life is good for Maria Sharapova right now . She 's won two titles this year , added a new lucrative new sponsorship deal -- and has finally confessed to tennis ' worst-kept secret , that she is dating young men 's star Grigor Dimitrov . They were caught kissing in Madrid the day after he beat world No . 1 Novak Djokovic , and she playfully wrote on a television camera after her Friday quarterfinal win in the Spanish capital : `` How did you catch us ? ? '' While the 21-year-old Dimitrov was unable to follow up his shock victory , Sharapova has cruised into the final of the women 's tournament after beating former world No . 1 Ana Ivanovic 6-4 6-3 on Saturday . `` We 're official . We 've been seeing each other for a while , '' the world No . 2 , who has been fending off questions about their relationship since January , told reporters after the 500th victory of her career . `` You know , it 's just news to us that someone took a picture of us now after this time . It 's nice to have something in life that you 're able to have for yourself , because so much of your lives are in the public eye . '' Sharapova has never before played in the final of the Madrid tournament , and faces a daunting task if she is to lift the trophy on Sunday . Her opponent is defending champion Serena Williams , who has the beaten Russian in their last 11 meetings -- including March 's final in Miami , where the American came back from losing the opening set . `` It 's always tough against her , '' said Sharapova , who will reclaim the top ranking if she can win her 50th career WTA final . `` I have n't had a win against her in a long time , but the great thing is I 'm setting myself up in a position where I can try to change that around . `` I thought I did really well against her in Miami for the first set and a half -- obviously that 's not enough , but the goal is to keep that level for the whole match this time . `` It 's been a while since we played on a clay court , too , and every match is different -- a different tournament and a different environment . I 'm looking forward to it . '' Williams won last year 's event when it was held on blue clay -- an unpopular experiment that was later banned by the tennis authorities -- but she has not played in a final on red dirt since 2002 . `` I feel like this whole tournament I 've only played clay-court players from my first round to now , and everyone was also smaller than me , '' the 31-year-old said after Saturday 's 7-5 6-2 win over Italian seventh seed Sara Errani -- beaten by Sharapova in last season 's French Open final . `` So I think tomorrow will be a really good match -- a different game , more power obviously , but still a lot of the consistency . So I 'm looking forward to it . '' World No . 1 Williams is seeking to become just the 10th player to win 50 WTA titles , in her 66th final . `` Obviously I love being No . 1 -- in my heart I feel I 'm No . 1 . But I also love to win tournaments . So I think if I just win as many tournaments as I can , I 'll be No . 1 . Hopefully .
