As the tennis season is beginning and the Australian Open is upon us I asked a group of friends to rate the hottest female tennis players in the draw, discounting their official rating.

Unfortunately I may not have been very clear on what was being rated so the list, as with most things when beer and men are involved may have digressed to a somewhat chauvinistic perspective. 

But deadlines being what they are I present you our, uhh, predictions of the hottest players power rankings of women’s tennis at the Australian Open.

25. Kimiko Date-Krumm

24. Sybille Bammer

21. Anabel Medina Garrigues
