The city is also known for romance and lovely ladies, but the Tour’s players didn’t have to wait for each of their previous trips to Roland Garros just to find the woman of their dreams. Let’s get to know more about the most enchanting beauties that have charmed some of tennis’ smashing gents below.
For our in-depth coverage on the 2016 French Open itself set to take place this week, head on over to our complete preview for both the ATP and WTA sides of the action right after this.

Top 10 Hottest Wives and Girlfriends of Tennis Players
10. Bridgette Wilson
You may recall Wilson having starred in cult teen flicks like Billy Madison and Mortal Kombat. Nowadays, she and Sampras live a quiet life together away from the spotlight. Still, we can’t help but utter the following line about this stunner from our yesteryears: “That Bridgette Wilson is one piece of Ace!”
9. Marta Tornel
Although the two were wed just this past November, long-time sweethearts David Ferrer and Marta Tornel’s relationship is something that a lot of people are likely envious of. Tornel was a family friend of Ferrer’s coach, Javier Piles, before the two even started dating, and the two Spanish lovebirds have been inseparable since.
8. Lara Dutta
Mahesh Bhupathi is not really a household name in the ATP, but his wife Lara Dutta should be able to get a few heads to turn to her husband’s way if they make more public appearances together.
Dutta became a huge sensation in her native country of India after becoming Miss Universe 2000. The exotic beauty’s fame skyrocketed to the point that she was even linked to New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter. And we bet her mesmerizing eyes had a lot to do with winner Jeter and Bhupathi over, much like whenever we stare back at her more sensual pictures online.
7. Zaira Nara
Juan Monaco has got to be a fool for breaking up with someone like Zaira Nara. The Argentinian TV host and part-time model lasted three years with Monaco around her arms (2011-2014), and would probably want to avoid other athletes as her dating prospects to prevent another unfortunate split.
Hey there, Zaira! Why not try us regular schmoes on for size instead?
6. Kim Sears
There are wives of athletes that are fine with just watching their men do their stuff from the sidelines, and then there’s Kim Sears.
Andy Murray sure got a feisty hottie for a wife, as Sears often makes herself heard in defense of her husband whenever matches aren’t tipping in his favor. Some may consider her strong demeanor as a turn-off, but her pretty face more than makes up for all the cussing that comes out of her tasty lips.
5. Sara Michael Forster
Most tennis players tend to date women from their own home country, but not Germany’s Tommy Haas.
California girl Sara Michael Foster played the role of Jen Clark on the series reboot of 90210, which should probably explain Haas’ immediate infatuation for her. The couple resides in the West Coast now, with Haas even having opted to become an American citizen to forever stay close to the sexy Los Angeles native.
4. Ester Satorova
Remember that Kim Sears video we shared earlier? Well, it was Tomas Berdych that was on the receiving end of Sears’ tirade. However, Berdych should still feel like the bigger man, especially since his wife, Ester Satorova, is a total knockout.
The 23-year-old supermodel is such a celebrity in the Czech Republic that she even has her own official website. Now please excuse us as we browse through her scantily-clad photos for a moment…
3. Danielle Knudson
Canadians are nice people, ey, and they also have some very tasty eye candy like Danielle Knudson.
Knudson – like the majority of women on this list – is a model that’s currently dating fellow Canuck and World No. 9 Milos Raonic. Her public exposure got a huge boost on social media when Justin Bieber took notice of her on an ad for Guess. Here’s to hoping that she uses Raonic’s racket to whack the Beibs right in the face, and then use that same racket for some kinky foreplay with us in the bedroom afterward.
2. Brooklyn Decker
There was a time that Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker was the most sizzling babe on the planet. The same could be said of her husband and former ATP great Andy Roddick as well, who retired from professional tennis for a second time last year.
While Decker appears as vivacious and bouncy as ever, there’s no escaping the fact that all kings and queens will one day have to relinquish their throne, which leads us to our top pick on the countdown…
1. Jelena Ristic
Some guys just have it all, eh?
Novak Djokovic has been the best player in the ATP Tour for the last half-decade or so – having won 10 of his 11 Grand Slam titles since the 2011 season. Perhaps his biggest victory, though, is having his his high-school crush in Jelena Kristic as his lifetime companion.
Unlike most of the girls on this list, Kristic needs no flashing bulbs and skimpy suits from the modeling industry to let others know that she’s quite the treat. Her lack of visibility on TV and online is quite a bummer, but she definitely shines like a true gem when you catch her subtle beauty even for just a glance.
Say “oui” and create a betting account now to win big from all the action at the 2016 French Open.
