Look for Ashley Harkleroad Nude in Playboy

Move over, Anna Kournikova!

You had your (hot) time in the spotlight as the best looking player ever on the professional women's tennis tour. Ashley Harkleroad is now looking to take that title from you, going to extreme, naked lengths in order to do so.

Harkleroad, 23, will be the first tennis player to appear in Playboy. Unlike WWE Divas, this demographic simply hasn't discovered the pay day that awaits them by getting naked for the publication. But that could soon change.

"I'm proud of my body. I was representing a female athlete's body," Harkleroad said.

We hope you're listening, Maria Sharapova.
