Smash Hits: The Hottest Women in Tennis History

Game, Set, Hot: A Celebration of Power, Beauty, and Unapologetic Allure

As the grass courts of Wimbledon are trimmed to perfection and the strawberries are laced with just the right amount of cream, we’re reminded that tennis—like the best things in life—is as much about beauty as it is about power.

Over the decades, the women of the sport have served more than just blistering aces—they’ve delivered style, sex appeal, and an intoxicating mix of grit and grace that lingers long after match point. This isn’t about stats or Grand Slams. This is a celebration of the women who made us fall in love with the game even before the first ball was tossed.

Welcome to Only Best Girls’ definitive list of the hottest women in tennis history. Game on.

Anna Kournikova – The original blonde bombshell of the court. Never won a singles title, but dominated the pages of Maxim, FHM, and every teenage boy’s imagination.

Maria Sharapova – Ice queen meets runway model. Five-time Grand Slam champion and a marketing dream with cheekbones that could slice through Centre Court tension.

Ana Ivanovic – With those doe eyes and lethal forehand, she had tennis fans swooning while climbing to world No. 1. Serbia’s sweetheart, and every man’s daydream.

Sloane Stephens – A blend of athletic grace and red-carpet glamour. The 2017 US Open champ always looks like she just stepped off a magazine cover.

Aryna Sabalenka – Belarusian power and panther-like swagger. She doesn’t just crush serves—she owns every inch of the court and your attention.

Eugenie Bouchard – Canada’s Insta-era golden girl. After her 2014 Wimbledon breakthrough, Genie became the queen of selfies, Sports Illustrated, and swipe-right daydreams.

Camila Giorgi – Italian beauty in lace-cut dresses, Giorgi serves runway looks even mid-rally. She doesn’t just hit winners—she is one.

Caroline Wozniacki – The Danish dynamo who combined athleticism with supermodel polish. Think sports bra ads and Rolex elegance, wrapped in a world No. 1 résumé.

Maria Kirilenko – A silent assassin of hearts and backhands. Glamorous off court, fierce on it—she graced both Grand Slams and fashion spreads.

Daniela Hantuchová – The Slovak stunner who made headlines on court and in the pages of ESPN Body Issue. A blend of elegance and power that never got old.

Dominika Cibulková – Pint-sized firecracker with an electric smile and curves that served more than aces. A certified crush for every 2010s fanboy.

Sania Mirza – India’s tennis queen. With global appeal and red-carpet beauty, she brought South Asian glam and enormous knockers to the world stage.

Gabriela Sabatini – The Argentine icon of the late ’80s and ’90s. Voluminous hair, fierce eyes, and a mysterious elegance that left fans breathless.

Emma Raducanu – The Gen Z phenom who won the US Open at 18 and hasn’t stopped glowing since. Pure British charm with model looks and sponsor deals to match.

Sorana Cîrstea – Romanian goddess with cheekbones from the heavens and a baseline game to match. Always under the radar, never underdressed.

Laura Robson – The British rose who lit up Wimbledon with youth, charm, and a swing that promised greatness. A tennis crush that lives on.

Why They Stand Out

Classic pin-ups: Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova ruled the golden age of men’s magazines—effortlessly erotic without ever dropping the racquet.

Style & star power: From Ana Ivanovic’s soft glam to Eugenie Bouchard’s digital-age selfies, these women blurred the line between sportswear and supermodel.

Glamour with grit: Caroline Wozniacki, Maria Kirilenko, and Daniela Hantuchová served consistency, class, and cover-girl cool in equal measure.

Modern firestarters: Aryna Sabalenka, Emma Raducanu, Camila Giorgi, and Sorana Cîrstea bring edge, international flair, and Instagram-era heat to the game.

International muses: Sania Mirza, Gabriela Sabatini, and Laura Robson gave us global icons with regional devotion—true queens of court and culture.

Underrated crushes: Dominika Cibulková and Laura Robson may not have stacked Grand Slams, but they racked up fan hearts by the million.

In a game measured by precision and endurance, these women gave us something more—a reason to watch with our hearts pounding and our eyes wide open. They reminded us that greatness isn’t just about trophies on the shelf, but the way someone moves, looks, and owns the moment.

As Wimbledon approaches and the sun sets golden on Centre Court, we raise a glass—Pimm’s in hand—to the queens of the baseline who made tennis more than a sport. They made it art. They made it hot. And they’ll forever hold their place in the Only Best Girls Hall of Flame.
