TENNIS PLAYERS GIRLFRIENDS

Dear readers of Sport and Beauty. In today’s post we’re going to talk about tennis. To be precise we’ll talk about tennis and beauty. Don’t worry because we won’t review the top ranked tennis players but their WAG,s (wives and girlfriends). I have an idea deep inside my mind. Money usually attracts gorgeous girls and we have quite a few examples: Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone, Hugh Heffner,… But when it comes to gorgeous WAG,s, soccer stars and tennis players win hands down. I don’t know why but I’ve never seen a javelin thrower or a high jumper married to such beautiful women as soccer or tennis stars usually do. Do you know the woman on the left hand side? I think so. Victoria Beckham is probably the most famous WAG in history.

When it comes to having a lot of success with girls, Spanish players are the best and two of them are light years ahead of the rest. Fernando Verdasco, aka “Fer”, and Feliciano Lopez, aka “Feli”, are partners in the court but have a fierce competition outside trying to win pretty girl’s hearts. Although they are quite good they don’t win a lot of tournaments. I fully understand them because they have to save some strength to satisfy their girlfriends. Had I known all of this, instead of buying a guitar I would have bought a tennis racquet and taken some lessons….

We’ll start talking about Fernando Verdasco. Fernando Verdasco Carmona, aka “Fer”, was born in Madrid on November 15, 1983. He’s 187 centimetres high, weighs 81 kilos and, so far, his career earnings total up to over 4 million $. To date he hasn’t win many ATP tournaments but he’s improving day after day and he’s made it through the 2009 Masters Cup held in London. He has only three ATP titles (Valencia, Umag, and New Haven) but was decisive in Spain’s victory in the 2008 Davis Cup final and reached the Australian Open semi-finals in January 2009. But when it comes to dating beautiful girls, no doubt he’s the number one seed. He’s always accompanied by the most beautiful women. Have a look at the way these fans greet him and also at Fernando’s underwear under the swimsuit. Will he bathe with the underwear on?

Our hero started his career as a latin lover in 2004 dating Spanish actress and dancer Dafne Fernandez known for her work in the TV series “UPA dance” and “Fama”. The truth is that they didn’t last for long.

In 2006, after breaking with Dafne, Fernando Verdasco started dating Spanish model Priscilla de Gustin. Priscilla is a real stunner. She was born in Madrid in 1981 and has breathtaking measurements (89-61-89). If you don’t believe me, have a look at this picture where you can see her sporting a nice zebra-like dress.

Unfortunately the thing didn’t work out well and our happy couple broke up. In 2007 Fernando decided to have a try inside the tennis world and started dating Argentinean tennis player Gisela Dulko. They broke up, of course, and Fernando started dating the gorgeous Serbian player Ana Ivanovic getting involved in a relationship that had a great impact in the media. Again things didn’t work and they broke up in early 2009. It didn’t take him long to find a new love and it seems that he’s currently dating American actress Camille Belle. How long will they last for together? He’s my idol. That’s all I can say about him.

The second in command is
Feliciano López. Feliciano, aka “Feli”, was born in Toledo in 1981. He’s 187 centimetres high and weighs 85 kilos. He has only one ATP title (Vienna) and he’s been dating Spanish model Maria José Suárez off and on for years. Although he was believed to have had an affair with Spanish TV presenter Ane Igartiburu it was never officially confirmed.

Third on our list is Carlos Moya. Carlos was born in Mallorca in 1975, he is 190 centimetres high, weighs 86 kilos, has an impressive career (20 ATP titles), and reached the number 1 in the ATP ranking in 1999. He prefers TV presenters and actresses. Carlos dated Spanish TV presenter Patricia Conde and currently is dating Spanish bombshell Carolina Cerezuela.

We’ll finish our review of Spanish latin lovers talking about Rafael Nadal, a fantastic player. Rafael Nadal was born in Manacor in 1986. So far he’s already won 6 Grand Slam titles (4 Roland Garros, 1 Wimbledon and 1 Australian Open) and has made it through Wimbledon semifinals twice more. He is dating his long-life girlfriend Xisca Perello. You can see them together in the following pictures. He’s just got back after his knee injury and I hope he’ll reach the number one again very soon.

To conclude, I’ll leave you with a nice video that summarizes Fernando and Ana Ivanovic’s love story. Best regards.

BRAZILIAN BEAUTIES THE FERES SISTERS

Dear Readers of Sport and beauty. Today we’re travelling to one of our favourite countries: Brazil. Perhaps we don`t know much about Brazil but there are three things we love for sure: samba, soccer and beautiful women. We are not going to talk about well-known models although these girls might well be if they wanted. Anyway today’s gorgeous brazilian guests, the Feres sisters, have already worked as models although currently they prefer to make themselves a name in the world of synchronized swimming. The Feres sisters are twins, gorgeous and show off an enviable figure. Let me introduce you today’s guests, the beautiful brazilian synchronized swimmers Bia and Branca Feres.

The Feres sisters were born on February 22nd, 1988 in Rio de Janeiro. Beatriz (aka Bia) and Branca Moreira Feres started swimming and doing gymnastics when they were only three years old. Beatriz (aka Bia) and Branca Moreira Feres started swimming and doing gymnastics with only three years of age and shifted to synchronized swimming when they were seven years old. Perhaps the reason why they love water is because they were born in a rainy day and under the Zodiac sign of Pisces. Besides being successful swimmers they are also brilliant students and between 2004 and 2005 attended Seattle’s Roosevelt Hight School as part of a student Exchange program. Let’s talk about their sport feats. They’ve been Brazilian junior champions in duets and senior teams champions, South-American junior champions in duets and teams, they won the silver medal in the junior Pan-American Games held in Orlando in 2005 and the bronze medal in 2007 Pan-American Games. Bia and Branca Feres usually practice for eight hours a day and are always together even when they are out of the pool. They have coffee together, have lunch together and even go to the movies together with their fiancés. As you can see these Brazilian mermaids are perfectly synchronized.

The Feres sisters are delighted to be and never compete against each other. They claim that, in addition to sisters, they are also friends and share everything. They’ve a natural feeling that lead them to make the same mistakes when in a competition. They are so similar that both of them weigh 52 kilograms and even her mother gets them mixed up. Their mother, Fátima, says that when she’s talking to one of their daughters and has to leave, later she’s not sure who she had been talking to. Ok, there is a slight difference between them because Branca is 2 centimetres taller than Bía. Her mother has also played an important role in their career. As a matter of fact Fatima signed them up for swimming in an attempt to stop them for misbehaving at home and make them blow off steam.

Bia y Branca are delighted to be athletes and so am I. They love sport because it teaches them to win, lose, be disciplined and accept orders. To achieve these goals they might have joined the Army instead. The only thing they don’t like is the lack of time to be with their boyfriends because despite being twin sisters they each have a boyfriend. They highlight that if a man wants to be with then me must be very understanding. I think that If I were your boyfriend I would be a bit jealous too…..

The dream of these Brazilian beauties is to represent their country in an Olympic Games as they were not able to participate in the last Beijing Olympics. Out of the pool these Brazilian bombshells have already showed off their wonderful bodies in a number of magazines, have done some modeling and were considered as the hottest 2008 sportswomen by Slam Sports. In addition the Feres Sisters have made some bikini photoshots for VIP and Papparazo.

We’ll finish this post about these beautiful Brazilian swimmers with a couple of videos where you can see Bia and Branca Feres live. Best regards.

CZECH BEAUTIES PETRA NEMCOVA

Today’s post is going to be dedicated to Czech supermodel Petra Nemcova. Petra has a terrible story behind her because she was one of the survivors of the Sri Lankan tsunami disaster. Petra was born in Karvina, Czech Republic, on the 24th of June 1979. Although quite young she’s a veteran in the fashion world. A woman of humble origin (his father was a bricklayer and her mother a school teacher) Petra started working as a model after being discovered in her hometown in a national contest to find new talents. Petra became famous in 1999 when she got a role in an American TV show presented by Craig Kilborn. Craig declared his love for Petra and said she would appear in Sports Illustrated before 2003. He was absolutely right.

In 2001 Petra starred in the Frech version of the British comedy “Absolutely Fabulous”. Altough reviews were not too good this comedy allowed Petra to keep on working on TV and movies in the next future. In 2002 Petra appeared in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition which marked the start of her career as a model. Hereafter Petra signed for Next Modeling Agency, Cartier and Max Factor and appeared in Harper’s Bazaar and Elle amongst other important fashion magazines. So successful was her debut for Sports Illustrated in 2002 that the following year Petra was signed to grace the cover of the magazine. Petra has also walked down the catwalk for Victoria’s Secret and many other top fashion firms. 2004 would become a nightmare for Petra Nemcova. Petra fell in love with Simon Atlee a British fashion photographer. They got engaged and decided to have a relaxing Christmas Holidays in Thailand.

As you know a devastating tsunami struck the Southeastern part of Asia and her fiance drowned in the water whirl that devastated Khao Lak resort where they were spending their holidays. Petra emerged unscathed from the disaster although she broke her pelvis and suffered life-threatening internal injures. She survived by climbing to the top of a palm-tree where she was holding up for eight hours until she was finally rescued. Petra stayed in a hospital for three weeks recovering from her injuries and she didn´t find out her fiance was dead until the New Year had already started because Atlee's body was not found until over two months after the tsunami. It took Petra a long time to recover from her injuries and the loss of her sweetheart but she showed a strong determination to get back to work and in 2006 she appeared again in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. These are her measurements.

Height: 179 cms (5 ft 10 in)

Weight: 54 kgs (117lbs)

Measurements: 84-61-86.5 (34B-24-35)

Hair color: brown

Eye color: hazel

Dress size: 34

Shoe size: 39 (8)

After Atlee’s death she seems to have dated British singer James Blunt although they are no longer together. Early in 2008 there was a rumour that she could be dating Sean Penn as they were seen together a number of times but it was never confirmed. Since 2004 Petra has been actively involved in fund raising campaigns aimed at getting money for the impoverished people. Glamour magazine gave her an award for the way she got over after the Tsunami. Petra has also become a writer. She wrote “Love Always” where she describes her childhood under the communist regime in Czechoslovakia, the way she went into modeling and her appearance in Sports Illustrated that launched her to fame. The book also describes her relation with Simon Atlee, how she fell in love with him and they got engaged. I’ll finish the post leaving a slideshow with the best Petra Nemcova snapshots and a video of this wonderful Czech beauty. Best regards.
