If we could rewrite the Top Ten Most Fashionable Sports Playas post again, we’d definitely add Ana Ivanovic to the list. Not only is she making loads of money through endorsements, but she also couples extraordinary athletic ability with overwhelming sex appeal. It’s exactly the same formula that has made millions for David Beckham and Anna Kournikova. We did say extraordinary athletic ability.

You’d think Ana’s life would resort to a semblance of anarchy after her premature exit from Wimbledon, but if these recent FHM photos divulge anything, it’s that she’s just as happy hitting aces with her smile as she is hitting aces on the court.

Miss Ivanovic, who was ousted from Wimbledon on Friday in the third round by China’s Jie Zheng, told FHM magazine: “Modelling was great fun.

“And it’s great to do something different, especially when you spend so many hours of your life on a tennis court.

“But generally speaking, I’m a tennis player first. I know that one day I will be the greatest female tennis player in the world.”

See, she’s a great sport about these things, unlike some other world class womens tennis player we know and love.
