As we have watched the players march into the second week of Wimbledon, we take a break from the intensity displayed on court and look at some of the sexiest women to have lifted the golden plate.

5. Steffi Graf

With seven Wimbledon championships under her, she has been named one of the greatest women's players ever. She has been in nine finals, compiling a 7-2 record.

She won a total of 22 grand slam singles titles. She played in arguably the greatest era of women's tennis— an era that players dressed conservatively on the court.

It is sad that she had to cover up a body like that! WOW!

4. Venus Williams

Long, tall, and hot! This graceful beauty has used her long legs to rule at Wimbledon five times (2000, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008).

Venus defeated four different opponents to win those five titles. She reached four consecutive finals at Wimbledon and has the record for fastest serve at 129 mph.

She is beautiful, she is graceful, she is Venus Williams.

3. Serena Williams

Every tennis fan's fantasy, a woman playing tennis in heels. Okay, maybe not, but Serena Williams looks great doing it here.

She has won Wimbledon three times (2002, 2003, 2009). She defeated sister Venus in all three finals. She also teamed with Venus to win four doubles crowns (2000, 2002, 2008, 2009).

She is powerful, she is fiery, and she looks great, all at the same time.

2. Martina Hingis

The Swiss Miss won her only Wimbledon singles title in 1997. She also won the doubles crown twice (1996, 1998).

With a record of 281-108 (72 percent) against players that have been ranked in the top 10, she has shown that she can compete against the best.

And oh did she look good doing it.

No. 1 Maria Sharapova

Oh Maria, Maria.

Miss Sharapova won her only Wimbledon title in 2004. She came from a set down in the QF and SF, but in the final she destroyed defending champion Serena Williams while losing only five games.

At the age of 17 she showed that she was a force to be reckoned with. She also showed us that she is HOT!!!
