Every sport has its own glamour and charisma. But not like the young and rich tennis players, who play for their nation with passion and spirit. Very often we watch the tennis matches on our television and we could see the player’s family cheering through out the match.
If you are lucky you could also find their girl friends trying to give these players that extra morale support which they need. Today, there are two criteria’s for a girl to be a partner for a tennis player.
The first being she should be beautiful and sexy. And the second being that she should be involved in modeling or films. We will just go through a glimpse of some of the well known tennis players and their girl friends.
Novak Djokovic, the ace Serbian tennis star met with Leryn Franco, the javelin thrower of Paraguay in the Beijing Olympics. Leryn Franco does some modeling and has been the runner up for Miss Paraguay. She is 26 years old and was the Miss Bikini Universe pageant the previous year.
