Australian Open Finals - Babes and Bodog

On Friday, the finals of the Australian Open will take place. If you love hot women, then it’s a match made in heaven. That’s right, Russian babe Maria Sharapova (bottom) will be taking on Serbian sweetie Ana Ivanovic (top). While I’m not crazy about tennis, I am crazy for these two hotties. Let’s take a closer look.

MARIA SHARAPOVA VS. ANA IVANOVIC

Maria Sharapova

This 20-year-old champ stands 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. While she is ambidextrous, she generally favors her right hand. Her playing style puts her in the category of an offensive baseliner.

The highest-paid female athlete in the world, Sharapova has won two Grand Slam singles titles. She won Wimbledon at the age of 17, then captured the U.S. Open title in 2006. While she has reached the finals of the Australian Open before, she has yet to win it. In fact, she’s looking to become the first Russian to ever win that title.

She was the fifth seed coming into the Australian Open, but she scored impressive wins over Lindsay Davenport and Elena Dementieva to reach the quarterfinals. There, she ended #1 ranked Justine Henin’s 32-match winning streak. After beating an injured Jelena Jankovic, she advanced to the finals.

Ana Ivanovic

Residing in Switzerland, Ivanovic stands 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 160 pounds. She is currently the number three female player in the world. Like Sharapova, she is also considered an offensive baseliner.

In 2007, she reached her first Grand Slam final at the French Open, but she was defeated by Justine Henin. She also reached the semifinals at Wimbledon.

She was the fourth seed going into the Australian Open, and this was the first time that she had reached the quarterfinals of this event. She defeated Venus Williams, then beat Daniela Hantuchova in the semifinals (she trailed 6-0, 2-0 to begin the match).
