Tennis beauties like Maria
ISN’T it astonishing how impossibly glamorous and beautiful female tennis players have become?
I grew up watching accomplished women such as Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova grunt their way into the record books at Wimbledon.
Terrific, talented players but hardly in the Tinseltown league of beauty.
In fact the petite and pert Chris Evert was the most obviously attractive girl on the circuit but even she was, well, hardly Marilyn Monroe.
But today – my God! Maria Sharapova, all those other blonde goddesses from Russia and the Baltics and our own lovely smiley Laura Robson... talk about a young man’s dream.
I’m not quite sure what’s happened here.
When did women’s tennis start to feature girls who combine strength with sheer glamour?
Male tennis stars were always sexy.
Now the girls are drawing level in the attractiveness stakes.
It’s deuce point. And not before time.
