The Hottest Tennis Players You’ve Never Heard Of

Tennis, anyone? Yeah, we’ve been known to slice a few serves into the deuce court (…pause?), but when it comes to watching the U.S. Open (which opens today), we’re more into the eye candy. This year’s a little strange though, with pro tennis’ reigning uber-hottie Maria Sharapova out with an injury. Thankfully, there’s a brand new crop of grunting, short skirt-wearing, (mostly) Eastern European females in this year’s tournament.

Check out our top 5 now…

Grunting With Maria Sharapova And Top Spin 3

Tennis, like golf, is a country club sport that we end up playing more of on Xbox than in real life. The sport is perfectly simple for the format—if you think about it, even the first video game, Pong, was basically a tennis sim. Our friends at 2K Sports invited Complex to Miami to preview Top Spin 3, and take loads of pictures of Maria Sharapova. We gladly obliged. See the highlights of our trip after the jump.

adidas Tournament Edition Pack

The adidas Originals collection is synonymous with storied tennis sneakers. As previously mentioned, the brand will release a set of kicks dedicated to paying homage to court icons like Rod Laver, Stan Smith and Illie Nastase as part of their Tournament Edition series. Coupling upgrades of luxe materials with classic color combinations the Rod Laver Vintage Lux, Stan Smith Vintage, Nastase Master, Forest Hills Vintage and G.S will drop at Originals retailers in April. If you’re all about getting them now, head to Barneys’ stores—the only outlet that’ll serve them up early. Classics never die.
