World’s Hottest Athlete: Ana Ivanovic vs. Alyona Bondarenko

#1. Ana Ivanovic vs. #8. Alyona Bondarenko

#1. Ana Ivanovic

A statuesque 6′1″ Serbian beauty with a wicked backhand that won this years French Open, Ana can take you out on the tennis court or the bball court. And after she kicks your ass on the court of your choice, who’s better to hang out with than this smoking hot brunette? Ana is like that girl you meet on the European trip after college. Imagine that hot brunette with the Eastern European accent you meet at the pub. Now you can put a face on her.

#8. Alyona Bondarenko

Meeting a Ukrainian blonde can also enhance any trip to Europe. It doesn’t hurt that she’s a top 30 tennis player who also happens to model for K-Swiss. When there’s a distinct lack of tats or piercings among the hottest female athletes (for good reason), you have to appreciate when someone can sport just the right amount of body art. Alyona’s tattoo shows she’s “got back” in more ways than the obvious. Watch out for this rising star as she has consistently advanced to later rounds in the Grand Slams.
