I would have excluded a few and added some others, but I thought I should be ethically open. 10. Flavia Pennetta - she has a weird sort of beautiful. Her dark eyes and sharp eyebrows give her a very defined beauty. 9. Zheng Jie - a cute and petite Chinese woman. Her freckles give her such a playful, school-girl cuteness. 8. Dominika Cibulkova - long face and succulent lips give her an exotic look comparable to Angelina Jolie. 7. Elena Dementieva - typically in the shadow of Russian beauties (see #3) Dementieva can hold her own. Captivating eyes and amazing legs. 6 and 5. Williams Sisters - Beautiful women both on and off the court. They own their bodies and love what they do. 4. Daniela Hantuchova - adorable features that you would just love to take home to mom. Could afford to put on a few pounds. 3. Maria Sharapova - classic beauty meets raw sexuality. 6'2" of fine woman. 2. Maria Kirilenko - simply stunning. Amazing features, on par with Ivanovic. Beautiful woman. 1. Ana Ivanovic - Amazing. Gorgeous. Features wise she is at the same level with Kirilenko but her on court persona is what makes her #1.
