Germany’s Schweinsteiger weds Serbian tennis ace Ivanovic

Finishing touches: Ana opted for a simple hair do, leaving her glossy brunette locks loose around her shoulders, while subtle makeup completed her look.

Schweinsteiger led his side into the semi finals of the Euro 2016 in France, where they were unceremoniously knocked out by arch rivals France, while Serbian Ana Ivanovic had a forgettable summer too.

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and tennis player partner Ana Ivanovic have tied the knot at a ceremony in Venice, according to the Daily Mail.

Adding dazzling touches, Ana wore bright diamond earrings before pairing the look with shimmering sunglasses to shield her make-up free face.

After emerging from the wedding venue holding hands, the pair made their way to a waiting boat, which whisked them away a short time later.

The couple had to let friends know to keep the dates from July 11 to 13 free for a celebration – one that Australian Open victor Angelique Kerber had let slip in January was to be a wedding.

The Serbian player, who is now at 25th on the WTA rankings, has since seen a decline in form, and most recently crashed out of Wimbledon in the first round; she also had a similar exit at the French Open, the venue of her grand slam glory.
