The Newest Hot Female Tennis Player Is...

It all started with Anna Kournikova, but soon the masses realized that while they appreciate hot chicks, they like hot chicks who are successful more. So eventually Kournikova gave way to Maria Sharapova.

She was attractive, and actually won tennis tournaments. A crazy concept to follow.

Well, now Sharapova has lost in the French Open semifinals, and she may have lost more than just the match. Like her title of It Girl in the tennis world.

Meet Ana Ivanovic.

FRENCH OPEN FINALIST TOUTED AS THE NEXT KOURNIKOVA: As we get ready to the watch the Spurs take a steaming dump on the soon-to-be-short-lived Lebron James craze, we've so far spent today inspecting the demolition of Maria Sharapova by a 19-year-old cutie named Ana Ivanovic.

CNBC's Darren Rovell is already calling the exotic beauty the "new 'Ana" of tennis": "The corporate world is a little bit down on tennis right now, but if I were a sports marketer, I’d take the jump on the Ivanovic bandwagon right now."

Her early photos are gorgeous, and it appears she's transitioning nicely into womanhood, as Mary Carillo pointed out today on ESPN2: "She's burned off a lot of the baby fat that she was carrying years ago."

Don't know about you, but we're on her baby fat bandwagon too.

Yes, I'll have to keep an eye on her career. Not because I want to, but because I'm just that dedicated to the job.
