Tennis is one of those sports events where fashion and glamour have a big impact. It is also known as one of the glamorous sports events in the world. Its history also talks in favor of it. Tennis was invented in the Victorian age and it was a popular source of pastime to young ladies. They were to walk smartly in the court to show their smartness which was important equally with performance. So, it is worthless to say that glamour and fashion both the two are inevitable in tennis. I tried to find some of the leading tennis players in terms of their beauty and fashion.

If you find anything should have been included in the article then put your opinion in the comment section.

Gabriela Sabatini

Gabriela Beatriz Sabatini is the great Argentine tennis player who was very popular to her fans for both of her performance and beauty. Her talent first came in to light after she won her first Grand Slam at the age of 20 in US Open in 1990 defeating the then dominant player of tennis world Steffi Graff. However, it has been a hot topic for the tennis analysts to find the reason of Sabatini’s not winning any other Grand Slam in her entire career later on. Besides her performance in tennis she was equally active in modeling with her attractive elegant appearance. It was she who could easily attract people. She has been model for many products of different companies and some of the products were introduced by her name. To give you an idea about her modeling activities I am quoting from a website:

Tennis star Gabriela Sabatini has launched Ocean Sun, a fragrance created by perfumer Christophe Raynaud with notes of mandarin, mango, pear, orchid, lily of the valley, violet, wood notes and white musk. (both above via cosmoty.de)”

Her own perfume named Grabriela Sabatini was marketed in 1989. Great American Doll Company launched a doll in the shape of a tennis playing Sabatini in 1994. She was elected as one of the 50 most beautiful people in 1992 by the People’s magazine. Sabatini is also famous for her humble and polite behavior with people. One of her greatest quotes is When I lose a match, I know that I lose on the court and not in life.” She is also a member of international tennis hall of fame.

Chris Evert

God gave this great tennis star both talent and beauty. This 18 Grand Slam winner could attract people by her unique appearance in and also out of court. Evert won her first Grand Slam when she was 19 and she became world no. 1 in the ranking in 1975. This 5 feet 6 inched tall glamour girl.

      why? they were of course two nice women in their prime without a question. when you engage in a physical sport, your femininity wears off graduaally. that is also part of beauty, if you could see it that way.

      Graf has masculine facial features. It's the same with Henin, plus a 12 yr.old probably has bigger breasts than her.

  33. Gabriela Sabatini was the hottest female player ever. She should be on the top 5 in anyone's list no matter your tastes - but chances are, she retired before many of you were around or paying attention. Sabatini certainly is number 1 if you count talent on the court, and beauty. Anna Kournikova has to be #2 on most lists after her. Her talent never matched her natural beauty, but she made more modeling than no the court, so who cares !

To make the matter worse, you are a Bengali Indian too, which makes other Bengali Indians like me look like monkeys in front of my friends (who are mostly non-Indians because I live in Europe, incidentally)...why don't you learn the language first before you make an attempt to write your worthless blogs..."They were to walk smartly in the court to show their smartness which was important equally with performance."-what the fuck were you thinking? And please go ahead and update your extremely limited Tennis knowledge, and check out these beautiful women of professional Tennis, (list in no particular order)....
