Women’s tennis has always been a popular sport for both men and women alike. The sport combines strength and athleticism with speed, flexibility, and an element of grace that makes the players attractive and pleasing to the eye. Off the court, some of the sports biggest stars, and even some lesser players, have been targets of many photographers looking to capture their beauty and reveal just how hot they really are. Most of these stunning beauties of the hardcourt are from the modern era as Russian and Eastern European bombshells made their way into the sport during the early 2000s. It took an American, Chris Evert, to really draw more attention to the women’s game and she was quickly followed by a Ford model from Canada, Carling Bassett. The following 20 players represent the top targets of photographers throughout the ages. There might have been others, but these players have proven to be the most photogenic the sport has ever produced.

Although there might be some missing, there are compelling reasons why all these players made the list. Steffi Graf was well known in the tennis world for her 22 grand slam victories and number one world ranking that lasted 186 consecutive weeks. Graf had several endorsement deals with the likes of Adidas, Head, Opel and even Canon where she appeared alongside Andre Agassi. Chris Evert was a highly successful player with her 18 Grand Slam singles championships and world’s number one ranking in seven different years, but she was also a pioneer of sorts. Chris Evert captured the public’s fancy with short skirts and romance with Jimmy Connors early in her career. She was easily one of the prettiest women to play the sport up to that point in the late 70s and early 80s.

She brought more attention to the women’s game as well as the apparel. Laura Robson might not be a household name, but she has been the first British woman to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament since Samantha Smith did it in 1998, when she achieved this feat in the 2012 US Open and also at Wimbledon in 2013. She earned a career high 27th world ranking in July of 2013 and was the WTA Newcomer of the Year in 2012. The long and lean lefty strikes quite a pose with her sincere brown eyes and genuine inviting smile. Martina Hingis burst upon the tennis scene, becoming the youngest woman to ever achieve the world’s number one ranking. She also spent 209 weeks as the number one ranked woman’s player, winning five Grand Slam championships as a singles player, nine Grand Slam championships as a women’s doubles player, and two Grand Slam championships as a mixed doubles player.

21 million in prize money throughout her illustrious career. Elena Dementieva was one of the many Russian beauties who came into prominence in the 2000 era. She achieved the world’s number 3 ranking in April of 2009, and ended her career in 2010 with a world’s number 9 ranking, having only slipped out of the top 10 once in her career during 2007. Dementieva won the gold medal for Russia in women’s singles at the 2008 Bejiing Olympics.

Sania Mirza might not be one of the best women’s players to ever play the sport, or be scantily clad while featured in a photo shoot of a popular men’s magazine, but there is no denying her beauty and competitive nature. India’s number one women’s player in singles and doubles for most of her career, Mirza also happens to be one of India’s most beautiful women as well. Amanda Coetzer might be petite, but her ability to pose in front of a camera makes her look larger than life. She had a career high women’s world ranking of number 3, and once defeated three women ranked in the top 5 during a run she made in the 1995 Canadian Open. Thanks to her diminutive size and many upset wins during her career, Coetzer was nicknamed, “The Little Assassin”.

Carling Bassett was way ahead of her time. Playing in the 1980s, the Canadian player had a Farrah Fawcett look with her wavy blonde hair, and enough game to make Canada proud. Bassett won the Canadian Junior indoor tennis title in 1981 and at one time was the number 2 ranked junior player in the world. It was probably hard for Bassett to concentrate on her tennis game when she was also an aspiring model working with the renowned Ford Modeling Agency. Part of the Eastern European invasion that was prominent in the 2000 era, Daniela Hantuchova was born in Czechoslovakia while representing Slovakia in the sport.
