Maria Sharapova leads the world rankings and is top of the beauty stakes too when it comes to women's tennis.

She won the French Open last month but was dumped out of Wimbledon by Germany's Sabine Lisicki in the fourth round, ending her dreams of winning back-to-back major titles.

Ana Ivanovic also leads in the beauty stakes, but her tennis career has not been upto the mark.

She won the French Open in 2008, but since then has failed to live up to the top billing, unable to get past the fourth round of any Grand Slam.

She takes on second seed Victoria Azarenka in the fourth round at Wimbledon and hopes to break her poor run at Grand Slams.

Tamira Paszek is the surprise package of this year's Wimbledon; she became the first woman to reach the quarter-finals with her victory over Italian Roberta Vinci.

She caused an upset in the very first round, knocking out former world number one Caroline Wozniacki.

Sabine Lisicki caused the biggest upset at Wimbledon, knocking out French Open champion and current World No. 1 Sharapova.

Germany blonde Lisicki beat Sharapova 6-4, 6-3 to enter the last eight.

Victoria Azarenka became the first Belarusian player to win a Grand Slam, when she won this year's Australian Open.

She will be hoping to add another title to her kitty by winning at Wimbledon.

Serena Williams may not be in the best of shape, but still fought her way to make it to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon.

She edged past Yaroslava Shedova 6-1, 2-6, 7-5 in a thrilling fourth round contest.

Caroline Wozniacki has achieved everything possible in the sport, except winning a Grand Slam.

Wozniacki has even claimed the top ranking in the world, but failed to deliver at majors. This year she crashed out in the first round at Wimbledon.

Italian Camila Giorgi had an impressive outing at Wimbledon, where she made it to the fourth round.

Giorgi, 20, was beaten in straight sets by Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, but she has surely left an impression among the male tennis fans.

Julia Goerges is dubbed 'Gorgeous Goerges' for her pretty looks.

She was beaten 6-3, 3-6, 4-6 in the third round by Ana Ivanovic.

Sorana Cirstea hails from Romania and her pretty looks have made more news than her tennis career thus far.

Cirstea was beaten in straight sets in the third round by Russian Maria Kirilenko.
