Model/Athletes like Natalie Gulbis and Anna Kournikova are easy to come by: yeah, they’re hot, but their talent in their respective sports is a little sketchy. Gulbis has only won one LPGA tour and Kournikova was in the top 20 WTA players for only two years. But Maria Sharapova is something else. One of the few athletes to appear in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, she can strut her stuff both on and off the court.
Tennis is an individual sport, and the player can choose from their own wardrobe (except for things like all-white restrictions at Wimbledon). This means players with bodies like Sharapova can wear low-cut tops and short skirts…and she does, which is why she’s my favorite player to watch in women’s tennis. Her fit body is highlighted by her one-piece classy dresses that are both elegant and revealing. Her breath as she hits the ball is far different from the deep grunt of Serena Williams; it’s a kind of high-pitch scream that sounds more like she’s doing a strenuous activity—that is not tennis. Not only does she look good in-between points, but she plays like a champion. She’s won three Grand Slams: Wimbledon in 2004, The US Open in 2006, and The Australian in 2008 (without dropping a set). She’s been ranked No. 1 in the world three times: in 2005, 2007, and 2008. Her 2007 ESPY Awards demonstrate Sharapova’s all-around greatness. She won Best Female Tennis Player, Best International Female Athlete, and, of course, Hottest Female Athlete.
