VIDEO, The SEXIEST Tennis Players!!! Super Sexy Women In The World Of Tennis!!!
There's been no shortage of sex appeal on the WTA Tour over the years, but who are the hottest female tennis players actively playing right now? Take a look at my top list below, which features not only some of the finest players in the game today but also the best.
Why Are Women's Tennis Players So Hot?
One of the big reasons female tennis players are hot is that tennis is hugely popular in Eastern Europe where, on average, women tend to be of a higher standard than Western Women.
My own theory is that these places are yet to be conquered by modern-day feminism...

VIDEO, The SEXIEST Tennis Players!!! Super Sexy Women In The World Of Tennis!!!
There's been no shortage of sex appeal on the WTA Tour over the years, but who are the hottest female tennis players actively playing right now? Take a look at my top list below, which features not only some of the finest players in the game today but also the best.
Why Are Women's Tennis Players So Hot?
One of the big reasons female tennis players are hot is that tennis is hugely popular in Eastern Europe where, on average, women tend to be of a higher standard than Western Women.
My own theory is that these places are yet to be conquered by modern-day feminism so rather than loudmouthed swamp donkeys that don't shave their armpits, you tend to get girls who realise there's huge value in looking beautiful both in terms of attracting men and their careers. As a result, even the bang average ones still look pretty good as they put the effort in!
The nature of tennis training also means the girls are all going to be in great shape as you need a mix of cardio and strength training to achieve success on the tour. Win-win.
Are posts like this sexist and objectifying women?
Nope. All these women make a good chunk of their living by looking good in photo shoots and brand endorsements.
The only people who don't really like posts like this don't live in the real world. Since the dawn of time, it's been beneficial for women to look as good as possible.
Why is this list better than the other sexy female tennis player lists?
The web is awash with lists like this but they're all just rehashed versions with very little effort put into them.
For example, Anna Kournikova is the top of virtually every list. She hasn't played tennis for 15 years! My list is current players who are playing on the tour right now and I've picked some obscure ones out that most lists miss.
The other reason this list differs is that I'm picking players that I think are naturally attractive and not just looking fantastic on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Yes I know I've picked Wozniacki and Bouchard, they're not my favourites but they've got broad appeal so for that reason they make the list.
In 2019 virtually any woman can look top drawer with a few simple lighting tricks and photo editing skills. That's why you get 3 out of 10's racking up thousands of likes on Instagram. So I tried to pick some of the less obvious ones that fly under the radar and aren't massively editing their pictures with filters or posing half-naked in virtually every picture.
What were the qualifiers to be on the list?
Just two: female and currently playing on the WTA Tour. I've excluded all Instagram THOT's that have ‘professional tennis player' in their bio but play once a week.
The Hottest Tennis Players of 2019
The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) is the principal organizing body of women's professional tennis. It governs the WTA Tour which is the worldwide professional tennis tour for women and was founded to create a better future for women's tennis. The WTA's corporate headquarters is in St. Petersburg, Florida, with its European headquarters in London and its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Beijing.[1]
The Women's Tennis Association was founded in June 1973 by Billie Jean King, and traces its origins to the inaugural Virginia Slims tournament, arranged by Gladys Heldman, sponsored by Joe Cullman, CEO of Philip Morris, and held on 23 September 1970 at the Houston Racquet Club in Houston, Texas. Rosie Casals won this first event.
When the Women's Tennis Association was founded, Billie Jean King was one of nine players that comprised the WTA, also referred to as the Original 9, that included Julie Heldman, Valerie Ziegenfuss, Judy Dalton, Kristy Pigeon, Peaches Bartkowicz, Kerry Melville Reid, Nancy Richey, and Rosie Casals.[2] Today, the WTA has more than 2,500 players from nearly 100 countries competing for $146 million in prize money.
WTA Tour
The WTA was founded at a meeting organised by Billie Jean King, a week before the 1973 Wimbledon Championships. This meeting was held at Gloucester Hotel in London. In 1975, the WTA increased its financial stature by signing a television broadcast contract with CBS, the first in the WTA's history. Further financial developments ensued. In 1976, Colgate assumed sponsorship of the circuit from April to November. In 1979, Avon replaced Virginia Slims as the sponsor of the winter circuit, and in its first year offered the largest prize fund for a single tournament, $100,000 for the Avon Championships, in the WTA tennis history.[6] The Colgate Series, renamed the Toyota Series in 1981, included tournaments in all parts of the world, whereas the Avon sponsored events took place solely in the US. The two circuits merged beginning with the 1983 season, when Virginia
