Not just a great sportswoman, also tremendous to look at

That’s right. Lucky Ana was born blessed with a gift for both athleticism and beauty - choosing to put tennis above a career in modeling, or any bits of promotional work she might have swept up in her hometown of Serbia. And it was a pretty great choice too, because she’s just won the French Open, and looks like a contender for the Wimbledon crown and sceptre. Clever move.

Is this long swan-like woman the next Wimbledon winner? 

Anyone who has lived in a box or a monastery for the last few years might never have heard of Maria Sharapova, but here she is. She’s already won Wimbledon once - back in the windy summer of 2004, when everything was brilliant and Wayne Rooney was still a good football player. Tremendous days.
