A Little Summer Distraction

[eagle eye]

Ah, summer. No school, cool vacations, and girls in bikini's. Not a bad rut there! Last summer someone, I don't remember who started a thread of beautiful women in sports and we unearthed a lot of them. Last year we also had the summer olympics for inspiration so let's see who we can unearth to show that sports is not just power and muscle but something that has grace and beauty. With all respect I submit ---

The 2013 Wimbledon Finalists

Sabine Lisicki from Germany in her first Wimbledon final.

Latino Women! :D Very nice!

The European Eastern Bloc seems to have more than their fair share of beautiful tennis players, like Vera Zvonareva.

Or how about retired Russian tennis pro Elena Dementieva?

I didn't think I would go here again but for the life of me I can't not include Maria Sharapova. Unlike a lot of these beautiful women she is really good a tennis. Although I have developed a real crush on Ana Ivanovic I just can't kick Maria to the curb.
