| Kournikova 'no longer sexiest tennis player' |
A tennis magazine says Slovakian teenager Daniela Hantuchova has replaced Anna Kournikova as the sexiest woman in the game.
Hantuchova was awarded the title by pundits for Ace magazine.
Kournikova was second, followed by Austrian player Barbara Schett.
Swiss player Miroslava Vavrinec and Jelena Dokic, of Serbia-Montenegro, also made the top five.
The Daily Mail reports Hantuchova has the longest legs in lawn tennis. At 44 inches they're five inches longer than those of her rivals.
The 19-year-old, who's ranked 11th at Wimbledon, said: "I always try to look my best on court. It is very flattering to be chosen as the sexiest player."
But she added: "The most important thing is how I perform on court."
