When it comes to tennis I’m not shy to admit I’ve become a mild pervert.

It’s difficult to explain how I’ve developed my peculiar likes and dislikes in terms of the skills of the game, but I’m happy to share with you what drives my selection of what I feel are the sexiest tennis players on the WTA Tour.

I seem to have a particular thing for Eastern European tennis stars and as we speak, I’m making a mental note to pop into my local travel agent to check the price and availability of flights to home nations of these goddesses.

The Moscow Open or Serbian Women’s clay-court doubles are on my bucket-list, for sure. In no particular sequence or position, here are my Top Five tennis beauties:

1. Jelena Jankovic: A super sexy, Serbian born on February 28, 1985 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia). She surely is one of the fittest and most talented players in women's tennis. She looks like she’s won a modeling contract, forget about tennis.

2. Elena Dementieva: A red Russian born on October 15, 1981 in Moscow. She was rejected by both the Dynamo Sports Club (the oldest sports and physical training society of the Soviet Union) and the Central Red Army Tennis Club (a major Russian sports club) as a young rising star.

What fools! Shows what they know. She’s got not rejection worries today.

3. Maria Kirilenko: Another beautiful Russian, born on on January 25, 1987, in Moscow. Maria appeared in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition – I rest my case.

4. Ana Ivanovic: How does Serbia keep breeding all these stunning tennis players? Ana was born on November 6, 1987, in Belgrade. She has dated Spanish tennis player Fernando Verdasco and Australian golfer Adam Scott, but not at the same time (I hope). Gulp!

5. Maria Sharapova: Born on April 19, 1987, in Nyagan, Russia. I’m off to practice my mixed doubles ahead of hitch-hiking to Nyagan. I hope that’s between Paris and Budapest because she’s just pushed Anna Kournikova into second place on my posterboard.
