Womens Tennis player Ashley Harkleroad has decided to pose nude for Playboy and she’ll be featured in the August issue.

“I thought about it, and it was something that I did,” Harkleroad said. “I’m proud of my body. I was representing a female athlete’s body. There’s a few reasons why I did it, but I can’t really go into it right now,” she added. “But like I said, I really didn’t think it was that big of a deal. I’m proud of my body. I stay in shape and try to stay fit.”

Hopefully other tennis stars (Maria Sharapova) will follow in her footsteps.

Thank god for Playboy!!!

Watch as the always sexy Maria Sharapova prepares for a match by tossing around the pigskin.

I’ll have to take Sharapova based on potential alone, we already know Grossman is horrible.

Due to the retirment of Justine Henin, Maria Sharapova will assume the No. 1 ranking in womens tennis.

“The ranking has never been a big deal for me,” Sharapova said. “Whether I’m No. 1 or 5, my main goal is just to keep winning tennis matches and the ranking will take care of itself if I keep winning.”

Screw the rankings and screw winning matches. Aslong as she stays looking mighty fine, Sharapova will remain a must watch tennis player.
