I will sat now that Dulko is literally top 3 most beautiful women in tennis unfortunetly the above pictures dont do her justice. I consider Dulko to be the one player who is much better than her ranking. She sould not be ranked anything lower than 30. For a player ranked below 30 she has had some remarkable wins this year over Jelena Jankovic, Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sharapova, and Dominika Cibulkova. On April 29, 2007, Dulko finally won her first WTA Tour title by defeating Soaran Cirstea. in the final of the Tier III event in Budapest. On August 25, 2007, Dulko won her second WTA Tour title at Tier IV Forest Hills defeating Virginie Razzano. Dulko is more accomplished in doubles. But I love her all the same. She just has the most adorable serve especially her facial expressions. Ive really noticed her in the past few years and she is a player I constantly follow and look out for. She played really well for Argentina earlier this year in Fed Cup winning all her singles rubbers. I also saw her speak with Martina Navratilova who Dulko did defeat once during Navratilovas final Wimbledon in 2006 and its her goal to be ranked in the top 20 by the end of the year. This was after Dulkos surprise defeat on Center Court of Maria Sharapova in the second round of Wimbledon 2009. And it left the tennis world talking I may add. And she doesnt have any points to defend so she can do it. And Martina did say she has it in her and Martina always always tells it the way it is. So come on Dulko DO IT. No one would be happier for you then me if you did it. <3

Ana Ivanovic has to be one of the top three sweetest girls on the WTA. Every interview I see her in she is just so damn likeable. Ivanovic is an offensive baseliner who is notable for her aggressive play. Ivanović's strength is her powerful forehand which has long been considered to be one of the best forehands in the game. Her backhand, although not as big of a weapon as her forehand, has improved over the years. Ivanovics serve is a powerful weapon, but can sometimes be unreliable due to an occasional bad ball toss. Ivanovics movement and net play were once considered to be her weaknesses, however both her movement and net play has improved tremendously over the years. Ivanovics best surface are clay courts where her height allows her to strike clean winners off of high bouncing balls, but she is capable of performing well on hard and grass courts as well. Her main weakness is considered to be her lack of confidence. 2007 was Anas breakout year were at the French Open she advanced to the final after defeating Maria Sharapova in the semi final but lost to Justine Henin in the final. At the Australian Open 2008 she reached her second final after being down 0-6 0-2 to Daniela Hantuchova in the semi final but a squeak of Anas shoes fixed that hot mess. ; ) . She lost the final to Maria Sharapova. Anas moment of Grand slam glory came at The Frenc Open 2009 where she defeated Dinara Safina. After Anas Victory at The French Open she obtained the number one ranking but an injury of the tumb left her off the tour for a few weeks and since then shes been in a hot mess. She lost in the second round of The US Open to Julie Coin. She lost in the tird round of The Australian Open to Alisa Kleybanova and lost in both 4th rounds of The French Open and Wimbledon respectively. She did make the final at Indian Wells earlier this year the only amount of success shes really had this year but lost in the final to Vera Zvonareva. But Ana is always a player I support heavily. She is incredibly sweet the first attribute in a player I always look for. Check. Shes beautiful. Check. She has potential to be at the top of the game. Check. And I absolutely love her grunt. its so fucking cute. I wish you guys could hear some of their grunts. But this current lack of confidence Ana has lately has been sad to see. Why oh why are my most favorite players turning into basket cases? <3 <3 <3 Ana!! Win more soon baby!

Time to finish shall we?

Oh man , what a bumpy road Jennifer has had. Long before I was aqauainted with my all time favorite player I was obsessed with Capriati. But it hasnt always been easy being a Capriati fan. In 1989, Capriati became the youngest player to win the French Open junior singles title at the age of 13 years and 2 months. She then won the junior singles title at the 1989 US Open. On March 5, 1990, three weeks before her 14th birthday, she became a professional tennis player. In her debut tournament she defeated four seeded players while becoming the youngest ever player to reach a tour final. Three months later, she became the youngest ever semifinalist at the French Open (aged 14 years and 2 months), where she lost to Monica Seles. In 1991, she reached the semifinals at both Wimbledon and the US Open. She was Wimbledon's youngest ever semifinalist after defeating the then defending champion Martina Navratilova in the quarterfinals, which was Navratilovas earliest Wimbledon exit in 14 years. The following year, she won the womens singles gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games. So what happened? Why did it take another 10 years for Capriati to win a slam? Capriati took a break from competitive tennis in late 1993. She soon encountered personal and legal troubles. She was involved in shoplifting in 1993 and in May 1994, was arrested for marijuana possession. Capriati returned to the tour in February 1996 but it was not until May 1999 that she finally won her first tournament in six years. Nearly eleven years after she had started playing on the tour, Capriati in 2001 finally broke through at a Grand Slam tournament. Seeded twelfth, she captured The Australian Open title defeating Monica Seles, Lindsay Davenport and Martina Hingis.. Five months later, Capriati captured the French Open title. Capriatis opponent was Kim Clijsters. This two hour, twenty one minute match featured the longest third set in a French Open women's final. Clijsters was four times within two points of winning before Capriati prevailed winning 12-10 in the third set! Capriati won her third Grand Slam singles title in 2002, when she successfully defended her Australian Open crown. In the final against Hingis, Capriati was down 6-4, 4-0 but battled back to win 4-6, 7-6, 6-2. She saved four championship points during the match, which is the record for most match points saved during a Grand Slam tournament final by the player who ultimately won the match. 2004 was Carpriatis last year. I loved watchin her at The US Open. In an epic three set battle she defeated Serena Williams in the quarterfinal and the crowd was so electric. I love The US Open crowds espeically when two Americans are playing. Jennifer did win but it was a match of many bad calls for Serena. Then in the semi final she was to play Elena Dementieva. Now Capriati was my favorite player at that point so I was rooting for her and it was another epic three set battle but the third was set was the only epic part about it. John McEnroe and other tennis commentaters said it was one of the best semi final matches they have ever seen. Capriari lost to Dementieva in a third set tie breaker and it was the last time anyone saw Jennifer play. in July 2007, Capriati admitted to suffering from depression and having suicidal thoughts. When I stopped playing, that's when all this came crumbling down. If I don't have tennis who am I? What am I? I was just alive because of this. Ive had to ask, Well, who is Jennifer? What if this is gone now? I cant live off of this the rest of my life. Its truly sad because I love love love Jennifer but the chances of her returning are slim slim slim. It breaks my heart because she really had so much more to earn. If she came back I would die literally but at 33 it seems doubtful. Even if it doesnt happen it wont be too bad. Shes already accomplished so much and is already in my heart and one of my all time top 3 favorites players but still, its sad. Love you Jennnnnnn <333

First off I wanna say this has been an absolute joy for me to do. I know a lot of you dont like tennis but I still hope a few of you popped in to check out some of the hotties. Still, I loved doing it and the ones over at tennisfourm enjoyed followin it. Ill always love tennis and survivor to me cant even compare...So lets end it....

Oh Elena where do I begin with this one. I just loved her from the first moment I saw her play. It was at The US Open 2004 semi final against Jennifer Capriati. If we can say one thing about Elena its consistancy. Never has a player been so injury free and consistant top 10 as long as Elena has been. Elena was rejected from tennis clubs as a kid due to her serve. And her serve was awful! It would go in at about 60 mph and the fact that Elena has stuck around with that just goes to show what defense this girl has. She has double faulted as many as 19 times in a match and hit 50 mph first and second servesBut in the last two years weve seen a much better serve. She is literally the sweetest person on the tour and ive never heard anyone say one bad thing about her. Elena burst into the scene in 2000 becoming the first ever Russian to reach a Grand Slam semi final and following that Elena won an Olympic Silver at The Sydney Olympics. In 2004 Elena reached two Grand Slam finals but was defeated in both. CRIES!!! Basically Elena fans are tortured. In te past two years weve seen Elena improve. Shes been refered to The Greatest Tennis Player To Never Win A Grand Slam. And in the past five slams she has reached the semi finals four times but as failed to reach another final. Its starting to wear on me. Theres no words to describe how badly I want that slam for her. None! Us Lena fans finally got the victory weve been waiting for back at The 2008 Beijing Olympics wen Elena won the Gold Medal!! She defeated players Caroline Wozniacki, Serena Williams, Vera Zvonareva, and Dinara Safina and a few more to win it! We all cried. And we all knew Elena wanted a gold meal more than anything. Yes, even more than a slam. The biest disappointment came at Wimbledon 2009. Serena and Venus were expectd to meet in the final with no bumps or so everyone thought but in that semi final Elena played the match of her life. After having taken the first set in a tiebreak, she dropped the second set 7-5. With Williams serving at 4-5 in the third, Dementieva even held a single match point to play in a Wimbledon Final!!! but eventually lost the match 6-7(4), 7-5, 8-6 in the longest Wimbledon semifinal of the open era. No comment! Elenas running forehand, which she rarely misses, is a key weapon for Dementieva when shes on the defensive. Dementieva is also known for her athleticism and speed around the court. There will never ever be another player I will love more than her and the other 99 on this list mean nada to me as much as Elena. Its been a bumpy road for all of us but whenever you hear this girls name you will think of me. ; ) Theres really not much else for me to say since there are no words to describe how I feel about her.


ELENA <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
