Ana Ivanovic: Too sexy to win again

You'd usually think that there is no such thing as too sexy, but it turns out that Serbian tennis player Ana Ivanovic (who was ousted early from the Australian Open, and most majors as of late) is just a too sexy athlete.

The TennisReporters.net website has banned the Serbian stunner from its annual Sexiest Player Award readers poll. Ivanovic won it five straight times so the site owners decided it was time to let someone else in a short tennis dress and bloomers have a shot at the coveted title. But they decided to honour Ivanovic by naming the award the Ana Ivanovic Sexiest Player Award.

So, who succeeds Ana Ivanovic as the WTA's sexiest racket handler? Russian hottie Maria Kirilenko (right). The complete poll results were:

Maria Kirilenko Maria Sharapova Carolina Wozniacki Gisela Dulko Elena Vesnina Victoria Azarenka Julia Goerges Serena Williams Sania Mirza Jie Zheng

34.4 17.5 12.7 7.1 6.3 6.1 4.8 4.8 2.5 2.0

Some hotties, or at least cuties, received recognition for TennisReporters.net's readers in other categories as well. Here are the rest of the women's winners:
Player of the Year: Kim Clijsters
Youngster of the Year: Caroline Wozniacki
Most Improved: Vera Zvonareva
Tweeter of the Year: Andrea Petkovic (check out her victory dance)
