Top 10 babes of Wimbledon
- No1 – Maria Sharapova
SHE’S ranked 59th in the world and seeded 24 at Wimbledon but Russia’s blonde goddess is still No1 for tennis glamour.
Maria has won Wimbledon, the US Open, the Australian Open and the hearts of millions of males the world over, who wish her well in her comeback from a shoulder injury.
Volunteers to give Maria a shoulder massage, please form a queue…
- No2 – Ana Ivanovic
IF this stunner’s life story is ever filmed, Catherine Zeta Jones must get the part.
The resemblance is that pronounced — and so is the glamour.
As an 11-year-old, she trained between NATO air raids on her native Belgrade.
Now she’s a bombshell in her own right.
- No3 – Dominika Cibulkova
THIS 20-year-old Slovakian beauty says that if she didn’t play tennis, she’d like to be an actress.
With those looks, she’d make the transition easily.
She won the battle of the beauties against Sharapova 6-0 6-2 in this year’s French Open before going out 6-3 6-3 to the fearsome Dinara Safina in her first Grand Slam semi-final.
- No4 – Maria Kirilenko
SHE was selected to be the face of Adidas by the Stella McCartney tennis range.
Like her good pal, fellow-Russian Maria Sharapova, she likes connecting athletics and fashion and appeared in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition alongside Daniela Hantuchova and Tatiana Golovin.
Tennis? Oh yes. We’re just waiting for her to get started in 2009.
- No5 – Daniela Hantuchova
ANOTHER star from the east — Slovakia this time — she has her own line of tournament wear with Nike.
She’s in great shape but does need to beef up her tennis career — she’s ranked 33rd in the world, although considerably higher in the glamour stakes.
- No6 – Nicole Vaidisova
A WIMBLEDON quarter-finalist in the last two tournaments, Nicole is another star from the east — the Czech Republic this time.
Not surprisingly, she is the face of Reebok, but also has a caring side.
She is an an ambassador for a charity dedicated to bringing clean drinking water to African children.
- No7 – Serena Williams
FLIES the flag for America against the beauties from the eastern bloc.
She has 10 Grand Slam singles titles, and isn’t far behind in the fashion stakes.
Set tongues wagging when she appeared in the US Open in a black Lycra catsuit, and wore a white trench coat during warm-up for her opening match at Wimbledon last year.
Even has a fashion range named Aneres — her name spelled backwards.
- No8 – Jelena Jankovic
HER nickname is Jelly but this 24-year-old from Serbia looks pretty toned to us!
Jelena is a former world No 1 and the other half of a Wimbledon-winning mixed doubles partnership with Jamie Murray two years ago.
The unlikely pair were romantically linked at the time, but she does claim to using kisses as a way of motivating her partners!
Still, for a pale-faced, crazy-haired Scot, Jamie didn’t do too badly!
- No9 – Marion Bartoli
THIS French beauty will bring some oh-la-la to Wimbledon, where she was a beaten finalist in 2007.
Marion takes her tennis seriously and caused a massive upset at this year’s Australian Open by crushing top seed Jelena Jankovic in straight sets 6-1 6-4 before going out in the quarter-finals.
- No10 – Anne Keothavong
ANNE leads the Brits in the glamour stakes, after breaking into the world’s top 50 this year.
She is the daughter of parents who fled to London from war-torn Laos in the 1970s and she came up the hard way, playing park tennis on Hackney Downs and Highbury Fields in an inner-city area of London.
Talk about street cred!
