Don't they remind you of Shakira and Beyoncé in "Beautiful Liar"? Daniela Hantuchova and Maria Kirilenko stunningly pulled off a J Lo look, enjoying their time in glittery clothes away from the sweat of the gym and tennis courts. The photo was taken in Pattaya City, where Hantuchova, the 2011 and 2012 Pattaya champion, will start her pursuit of a hat-trick with the first-round encounter with Olga Puchkova tomorrow. In last year's final, Hantuchova defeated Kirilenko 6-7(7) 6-3 6-3.

Hantuchova shared the photo on Facebook, saying:

.. and this is how we would like to dress… which one u guys like better?

Here's hoping that Fabio Fognini and Alex Ovechkin won't accidentally switch them?

All the seeded players in action at the PTT Pattaya Open on Tuesday advanced in straight sets: Maria Kirilenko, Sorana Cirstea, Sabine Lisicki and Heather Watson. Top seed Ana Ivanovic was saved by the rain which transferred the match to Wednesday while her opponent Ayumi Morita was leading 6-3 5-7 2-1, after Ivanovic had recovered from the verge of defeat at 2-5 in the second set.

Serena Williams took her clothes off for ESPN in 2009, Vera Zvonareva posed naked for the magazine in 2011 and this year Daniela Hantuchova exposed her skin for the famous ESPN edition. At the ESPN Magazine's Body Issue 2012 party in Los Angeles, in her favorite California, the slim Slovak showed only her signature long legs, but you could see much more of her body in the magazine in her hands.

How did Daniela decide to pose naked for ESPN?

I'm always open to new opportunities, so I figured why not? I wanted to do it with class and not show too much of anything, but as an athlete, I'm pretty confident about my body, so I guess I'm not afraid of anything. Read more »

Longtime reader Brenda showed me the new Adidas dress that Ana Ivanovic is expected to wear at Wimbledon 2012.

The clothing item is called Adidas Women's Lawn Adizero Dress and comes in white with an infrared line cruising from back to front. The top of the dress is asymmetrical on both sides.

At the Qatar Total Open, in an all-German first-round encounter between fresh first-time WTA titlist Angelique Kerber and ninth seed Sabine Lisicki, the newer German force took charge, overcame stomach problems, came back from a set down and upset her friend Lisicki 4-6 6-4 6-1. Kerber believes they both played a great match, while Lisicki finds she hadn't committed as many unforced errors in the past ten tournaments she played. Just to mention, the Paris title rose Kerber from No.27 to No.22 in the rankings this week.

Seed No.15 Daniela Hantuchova, who just like Kerber won a WTA title over the weekend, is out of the Qatar Total Open in Doha, having wasted a one-set lead and then falling in the third-set tiebreaker to Simona Halep 3-6 6-2 7-6(4). Romania's Halep overcame a leg injury, and with an aggressive baseline game and good tiebreak clinched one of the biggest victories of her career.

Later in the day, Flavia Pennetta took out eleventh seed Dominika Cibulkova 6-3 2-6 7-5. Pennetta won two points more than Cibulkova and took the victory.

Defending champion at the tournament is Vera Zvonareva, who will after a first-round bye play Monica Niculescu in the second round. Last week at Pattaya, Zvonareva retired from her quarterfinal in the third set against Sorana Cirstea with a left hip injury. (photo: © Neal Trousdale)

World No.20 Daniela Hantuchova has retained her perfect record at the PTT Pataya Open in Thailand by beating Maria Kirilenko 6-7(4) 6-3 6-3 in the final to win back-to-back titles at the tournament. Kirilenko sweated her way to the final, with more than nine and a half hours on court, and even though the following fact won't be remembered for long, Kirilenko was the first to take a set off Hantuchova in the Slovak's second participation in the event.

En route to her fifth career title and first since last year's Pattaya, the third-seeded Hantuchova defeated Nungnadda Wannasuk 6-2 6-0, Urszula Radwanska 6-3 6-2, seed No.8 Vania King 7-6(7) 6-4, Su-Wei Hsieh 6-4 6-1 and finally the fourth-seeded Kirilenko. Top seed at the tournament, Vera Zvonareva, had to retire in the quarterfinals because of a left hip injury. (photo: Ralf Reinecke)
