Maria Kirilenko, Daniela Hantuchova and Tatiana Golovin posed in skimpy bikinis

They're accomplished on clay and great on grass. And as these pictures show, they're pretty hot on sand too. Tennis players Maria Kirilenko, Daniela Hantuchova and Tatiana Golovin posed for the swimsuit edition of the American Sports Illustrated magazine. Clad in skimpy bikinis, they rolled around on a beach in the Dominican Republic.

Her highest singles ranking to date is 12 and she reached the U.S. Open quarter-finals in 2006. Miss Kirilenko, 22, also hails from Moscow and her highest ranking was 18th in the world last year.

Darcie Baum, who ran the shoot, said Miss Golovin was the most obliging model. 'Personality-wise, she was just a lot of fun. She was like, "You want me to hang upside down? Sure. Take my top off? Sure."

Kirilenko was the most modest, probably because her mother, Olga, was watching.' The Sports Illustrated shoot is becoming a tradition for women tennis players. In 2006 Maria Sharapova posed, and the year before it was Venus Williams. Steffi Graff started the trend in 1997, followed by Serena Williams in 2003 and 2004. Anna Kournikova also posed in 2004.
