Ana picks up another award

October 28, 2008 /

Ana has the most beautiful body of any sportsperson – male or female – according to readers of Die Bild, the biggest-selling newspaper in Europe.

The 20-year-old polled more than half of the vote (51 per cent) as she easily beat fellow tennis player Maria Sharapova into second place. American swimmer Amanda Beard was third, while footballer David Beckham finished fourth.

The award is the latest in a long line of accolades that Ana has received for her looks. The Age newspaper in Australia named her the best-looking tennis player of all-time; she has won the tennisreporters.net Sexiest Female Player award for the last three years, while she was the highest-placed athlete on the celebrated FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2008 list.

Considering that she is a professional athlete, Ana is more concerned with her on-court achievements and she has been recognised in this area too during 2008. Earlier this month she won the Michael Westphal Award for “best tennis personality 2008”, as voted for by readers of German Tennis Magazine; in July the International Sports Press Association (AIPS) named her “Women's Tennis Player of the Year 2008”, and in March she was recognised by her fellow professional when they voted for her in order to win the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Karen Krantzcke Sportmanship Award 2007.

Asked to comment on her latest award during an interview in Belgrade, Ana was as humble as ever. She looked somewhat surprised when told the news, then commented: “It definitely flatters me. It is because of how I play tennis and due to the results I achieved on the tennis court, but definitely every girl likes to get a compliment and I am no different.”

“That’s why I am happy and satisfied about it. However I want to work very hard and achieve the goals I set, and they concern the tennis court.”
