20. Hope Solo

Sport: Soccer
Pro Years: 2003–present
From leading team USA during the 2011 World Cup to competing on Dancing With the Stars, it's safe to say that Hope Solo is one of the most recognizable female athletes today. Plus, we like her because she plays our favorite soccer position. Some people are into the foot fetish thing but we prefer a girl who knows how to handle the balls rather than kick 'em around. Save that S&M shit for the next dude.

19. Sabine Lisicki

Sport: Tennis
Pro Years: 2006–present
Sabine is fairly new to the Swoosh family, she just received clothing sponsorship this past August. Our advice to Nike designers putting together outfits for the No. 17 player in the world: Remember, less is always more. #thanksuslater

18. Shawn Johnson

Sport: Gymnastics
Pro Years: 2007–present
Shawn is a gymnastics gold medalist and she won a season of Dancing With the Stars. That means 'ol girl is flexible as hell. Hold up, these gymnastics chicks are known to be crazy young. Born in '92? OK, we're good. Just barely.

17. Serena Williams

Sport: Tennis
Pro Years: 1995–present
Serena has an estimated net worth of $85 million, has rocked the sexiest outfit in tennis history, and gets gully when she needs to. A multi-millionaire with ride-or-die chick qualities? Sounds like wifey material to us. You lost, Common.

16. Anastasia Pivovarova

Sport: Tennis
Pro Years: 2007–present
How do you have zero WTA wins and a current ranking of No. 95 in the world but receive sponsorship from a powerhouse like Nike? You can start by being as hot as Anastasia. All jokes aside though, Ma is only 21 and we're pretty sure she won't go the Anna Kournikova route her entire career.

15. Allyson Felix

Sport: Track and Field
Pro Years: 2004–present
They may not get as much shine as other female athletes, but you certainly can't front on women in track and field. Allyson brought home gold for team USA in the 4x400 meter relay at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Also, she's currently one of only seven female athletes fully sponsored by Nike. After peeping some of her ad campaigns, only one song came to mind.

14. Alex Morgan

Sport: Soccer
Pro Years: 2008–present
Hope Solo got all the shine during the World Cup this year, but Alex Morgan has that girl-next-door hottness about her that we can't front on. At 22, Alex was the youngest member this year's World Cup squad. So, you can expect to see more of the lovely Miss Morgan for years to come.

13. Gretchen Bleiler

Sport: Snowboarding
Pro Years: 1996–present
Gretchen Bleiler reached the pinnacle of her career at the 2005 Winter X Games in Aspen when she took home four gold medals. Since then, she's had ton of media exposure including TV appearances, magazine spreads, and a Nike campaign leading into the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Though she didn't bring home any medals, she still has a lot of the wifey qualities we look for in girls: She's hot, a proven winner, a hustler, and isn't afraid to take a face full of the white stuff from time to time. No LiLo.

12. Julia Mancuso

Sport: Skiing
Pro Years: 1999–present
Julia won gold for the Giant Slalom event at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and brought home two more silver medals four years later in Vancouver. In addition to appearing in ads for Nike during 2010, Julia has also made headlines for modeling lingerie. When asked about it the skiier replied, "I think underwear is my calling. You can be feminine and fast." Certainly not mad at that. Do you, Julia. Do you.

11. Laura Enever

Sport: Surfing
Pro Years: 2009–present
All we know about Laura Enever is that she's Australian, 19-years-old, has won a Junior World Championship and--most importantly--that we'd like her to help us wax our long board.

10. Misty May-Treanor

Sport: Volleyball
Pro Years: 1998–present
The two-time Olympic gold medalist signed a sunglasses deal with Nike this past summer. Definitely a good look for the veteran who's been in the game for over a decade. Now all she has to do is get rid of that scrub Matt Treanor and make teammate Kerri Walsh her real wifey. #wishfulthinking

9. Kaitlin Sandeno

Sport: Swimming
Pro Years: 2000–2008
Kaitlin is a four-time Olympic medalist who took home hardware during both the 2000 and 2004 games. The Cali native signed with Nike in 2004 and also won her first gold medal for the 4x200 relay at that year's Summer Games in Athens. Her known strokes are the individual medley, freestyle and butterfly. That's funny, based on some photo reserach, we would've guessed that the breast stroke would've been one, too. #justsayin'

8. Michelle Wie

Sport: Golf
Pro Years: 2005–present
Michelle Wie burst onto the seen in '05 as one of the most-hyped sports prodigies of all time. Now, although she hasn't done much winning (only two pro wins in seven years), she has an estimated net worth in the $19 million thanks to endorsement deals with companies like Nike. Soundtrack, please!

7. Julia Georges

Sport: Tennis
Pro Years: 2005–present
Julia hasn't won any Grand Slams and only has three WTA titles under her belt. But that doesn't matter because, honestly, we only tune into her matches two obvious reasons. The Nike designer for those sexy  outfits she squeezes into needs a raise, STAT.

6. Gabrielle Reece

Sport: Volleyball
Pro Years: 1989–2000
In the early to mid '90s Gabrielle dominated beach volleyball winning Offensive Player of the Year in 1994 and 1995 and she was the kills leader from 1993-1996. Today, she's retired form the game and spends more time with her fam. But don't front on the classics, kid. We'd definitely still smash. Hot milfs, FTW.

5. Daniela Hantuchova

Sport: Tennis
Pro Years: 1999–present
Early on in her career, Daniela Hantuchova was sponsored by Nike and had her own sportswear line. But in 2009, she left and joined Adidas. We can't be too mad at her for that but we have to wonder...does she switch sides/teams in her personal life, too? And yes, we mean those kind of teams.

4. Victoria Azarenka

Sport: Tennis
Pro Years: 2003–present
The current No. 3 player in the world rocks sexy outfits by Nike on the court but it's more of what you hear than what you see with Victoria Azarenka. She's received criticism for her loud grunts during matches, reaching 95 decibels at this year's Wimbledon Tournament. Officials complained but they can hate all they want--you know we love us some screamers.

3. Sofia Boutella

Sport: Dancing
Pro Years: 1998–present
This Algerian hottie has been featured in music videos, films and TV shows, and Nike ads since 2005. And all those people claiming dancing isn't a sport can GTFOH with that. This chick was too sexy to leave off the list.

2. Iveta Benesova

Sport: Tennis
Pro Years: 1998–present
Tennis is known for bringing us tons of European beauties over the years and Iveta Besova is no exception. The Czech bombshell has been rocking the Nike's "Maria Sharapova" collection for all of 2011. Has it helped? Well, she hasn't won any singles Grand Slam titles but she did take home the Wimbledon mixed doubles championship. We'd like to see her in some doubles action with Sharapova--off the court, that is.

1. Maria Sharapova

Sport: Tennis
Pro Years: 2001–present
With three Grand Slam titles and a current No. 2 World ranking under her belt, it's clear that Maria 24-year-old Sharapova will continue to be one of the top female female athletes for years to come. Just as impressive as her on-the-court accolades was the eight-year, $70 million contract she signed last year to renew her deal with Nike. The endorsement deal is the largest ever for any female athlete in sports history. Miss Sharapova only loses points in our book for getting engaged to that scrub we call Sasha Vujabitch. Now, excuse us while we replenish ourselves with some haterade.
