Who: Ana Ivanovic
Who: Maria Kirilenko
Age:19
WTA Rank: 6
Birthplace: Serbia Meet Ana Ivanovic. If you're a tennis fan, chances are that you already know who this Serbian bombshell is. But if you don't I highly suggest that you remember this name.
Not only does she have killer looks but she also has a killer game. With her climb up the rankings she's come up with huge wins over the likes of big players such as Maria Sharapova and Amelie Mauresmo.

One of her most impressive results this year was making it all the way to the final of the French Open in May. Because of her amazingly consistent year she has just qualified for the Year Ending WTA Championships in Madrid (only the top eight players of the current year are invited). By the way, she also added another title to her resume today in Luxembourg by defeating Daniela Hantuchova in three tight sets.
Not only has she had a great year on court, but her sponsorships get bigger by the moment as a result of her beauty and talent.
If her climb up the rankings and increased popularity are any indication of what Ana is capable of, then I can only say that UP is the only way she's going!

Meet Maria Kirilenko. She may not have the results to match Ana Ivanovic, but believe me, she will, sooner than later.
Though Kirilenko had been struggling to find her form since last year, she recently found it and reminded us of how good she really is when she is on top of her game. As a result of her stellar play she won a title last week in Kolkata after being title-less for about a year. Her good form continued this week as Venus Williams was the only one able to stop her in the final of the tournament at Seoul.

That makes it two finals in a row for the beautiful Russian player whose looks have drawn comparisons to that of Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova. And if you ask me, that's pretty good company.
Not only is she fully loaded on talent but she is the only player on the WTA Tour that is sporting Stella McCartney designed tennis dresses.
Maria K is definitely another player that we should be aware of.
