Everyone knows Sharapova and Eugenie Bouchard — but the field at Wimbledon is stacked with other attractive ladies, ok? The world doesn’t revolve around those two, so, like, you can stop acting like they’re the Kardashian sisters.
Ugh…
As Eugenie Bouchard and Petra Kvitova square off for $1,760,000 in the final, take a peek at six of the poor ladies who’ll have to watch it from an air conditioned suite in some four-star hotel.
As if being a Swedish-Spanish model wasn’t enough, Nora Segura is a workout fiend with an itchy Instagram finger and a clothing allergy. Now that she’s been spotted with the USMNT’s brickwall of a goalie, Tim Howard, we’re interested to see if he can stop her from throwing up jealousy-inducing nude selfies once or twice a month.
We suppose when you look as good as she does, there’s a razor thin line between a normal photo and an overtly sexy one, but still — if this ends up being more serious, the post-shower pics might have to go to the knockout round.

Admittedly, it’s a pretty clever pun. Not sure if J.R. gets to talk shit about anybody at this point, but we’ll give him a pass when he’s funny about it.
We’re not exactly celebrity dating gossip experts, but what we can tell you about these two is that Rihanna and J.R. dated/hooked up at some point in the last three years, after which RiRi called him out on social media for getting drunk the night before a playoff game against the Pacers. We’ll assume they’ve been on rocky terms since that whole “thirsty” comment.
For the record, Rihanna was the best fan the Heat — or any other NBA team — have ever had.
Playing in his 14th and final MLB All-Star game tonight, “The Captain” will undoubtedly show very little emotion as reporters, fans, and fellow All-Stars salute his impressive body of work. What can we say — D.J. isn’t very accessible.
Perhaps that’s why he’s managed to date such a sizable percentage of super famous, beautiful women: Jeter cannot be tamed. He is James Bond.
So, seeing as his farewell tour stops in Minneapolis tonight for what very well could be the most meaningful moment of his final season, we’re looking back on his ex-girlfriend all-star team, who probably aren’t planning to honor their meaningful moments shared with Jeets anytime soon.
Pretty much every big domestic name in soccer makes an appearance in this mock trailer for a movie we actually wish was in the works — even Thierry Henry as that snobby maître d’. You gotta love Judah Friedlander as Ben Stein’s teacher character, Leroux as Sloan, and Michael Bradley as the creepy parking attendant who takes the Ferrari out for a joyride. Oh, and Omar Gonzalez — fresh off a terrific World Cup showing — nailed the Cameron role. Bravo guys.

This is the year of sporty power couples breaking off their engagements. First, it was Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki. That one was weird — golfer McIlroy reportedly broke up with tennis player Woz by telephone. Now, the shoe’s on the other foot, as tennis-er Maria Kirilenko confirmed that she ended her engagement to hockey star Alexander Ovechkin on Sunday.
Kirilenko, 27, isn’t a household tennis name at this point (most people probably associate that surname with Andrei, the basketball player), though she won a bronze medal in the Olympics in 201, and made a number of major quarterfinals over the years as she ascended the rankings. She was ranked as high as 10th in the world in 2013.
That might have been her apex. Thanks to injuries and several upsets and first-round exits (most recently at Wimbledon), she’s plunged out of the top 100. Bummer.
Some outlets are reporting that an Instagram photo of Ovechkin, whom Kirilenko has been dating since 2011, was a primary reason for their breakup. Ovechkin is seen in a helicopter with a Russian gymnast, ostensibly about to join the mile high club. While we won’t speculate as to the cause of the end of the relationship (one photo with one chick, really?), we will say that if Ovechkin was stepping out on Kirilenko… bad call. Here’s what we mean (via Instagram):
Should Rory and Maria, and Caroline and Alex, hook up now? That’d be… weird, actually.
A silly commercial about a silly product, made sillier by the fact that Ronaldo’s girlfriend is currently touring the universe to promote a huge film she’s starring alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Irina, do yourself a favor and drop this loser before you turn on the TV and see him singing in a FreeCreditReport.com ad.
Seriously though, Ronaldo is such a turd, which is made all the more apparent by his behind-the-scenes-commentary for the commercial about the only shampoo your uncle has ever purchased. So what if we’re jealous? It doesn’t change the objective fact that this guy is the boring European version of Deion Sanders. Watch how he humorlessly answers questions on the set of a DANDRUFF SHAMPOO COMMERCIAL SURROUNDED BY GREEN SCREENS.
“I have to look good all the time. It is very important to me.”
Hm, interesting because almost every time you open your mouth you come across as the bad new boyfriend-guy from an AManda Bynes rom-com. Is that the “good” look you’re talking about?
Oh, it is? Oh, never mind then.
Meanwhile, this…
On Tuesday, the most anticipated signing of the summer transfer window was made official, as Colombian wonderkid James Rodriguez signed a lucrative six-year deal with Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid. The 23-year-old stole the spotlight and became the darling of this recent World Cup, winning the Golden Boot award after netting six goals in five matches for Los Cafeteros. His volley against Uruguay in the Round of 16 also earned him the goal of the tournament, according to FIFA.
But did you know he’s married to the sister of goalkeeper David Ospina?
Meet Colombian cutie and former volleyball player Daniela Ospina, the wife of the newest Real Madrid star. The couple reportedly met in 2008 when he was 18 and she was 17, and her brother apparently had little clue of who Rodriguez was. My, how things have changed.
We’ll let the photos speak for themselves:
After a terrific World Cup campaign for Costa Rica and a viral video of him saving tennis balls at 100 mph, goalkeeper Keylor Navas signed a six-year deal with Spanish giants Real Madrid this week. He’ll likely fight with Iker Casillas and Diego Lopez for a chance to start for Los Merengues. Now, I’m not much of a Real Madrid fan, but I am a fan of their WAGs. About two weeks ago, Real Madrid signed James Rodriguez to another lucrative six-year contract, which gave us a reason to meet his current wife Daniela Ospina.
It’s time to get to know more about Navas’s wife, Andrea Salas, who appears to be a model or something. Doesn’t really matter what she does as long as she continues to post more photos of her in a bikini.
It’ll be a shame if Navas forces Iker Casillas out of Madrid, considering his wife, Sara Carbonero, is also smoking hot.
Don’t act like you aren’t familiar with the goddess of Instagram…ALL the cool kids are talking about her (specifically, her #glorious buttcheeks). With about four million followers — including just about every professional athlete in America — the Long Island native is one of the most popular butts people on the social media service.
Now she’s turning 21 and everyone’s invited to celebrate with her! Woo-hoo! (At one of New York’s most Long Islandy venues, Tao. Duh.) Selter put the invite up on her Instagram yesterday, where it promptly received an appropriately dirty 69k.
Most of her posts receive upwards of 250k likes. Here’s 21 reasons why:
From Monday, August 25 until September 8, 2014′s final Grand Slam will come to Queens and let everyone know that, yes, summer is over. Frowny face.
However, there are reasons to be happy about the awesomest tennis tournament in the world (namely, that it’s so awesome). For starters, the women’s field is as open as it’s ever been — what with Serena recovering from that bizarre doubles outing at Wimbledon and no other female winning more than one Grand Slam in a season since 2007 (Justine Henin). Suffice it to say 2014 isn’t a great year to start betting on female tennis players.
Of course, there are other reasons to watch. If you only watch tennis when the big tournaments are on, you probably don’t know any of the girls in the slideshow below. Get to know them now so you can sound like a well-rounded creep come the start of this year’s U.S. Open. Go ahead, click ‘em.

To expect the 31-year-old host of The Golf Channel’s “PGA Tour Primetime” to be anything other than this woman would be naive. It’s golf — it’s the definitive boys club played primarily in places like Florida. Then consider there’s a 24-hour channel dedicated entirely to talking about the sport, and you get Win McMurry.
A southern bell-type who knows EXACTLY what her Instagram followers are into, McMurry doused herself in bathtub-temperature sea water from a sandy beach in the Bahamas, much in the way Stephen A. Smith described how he would’ve liked to have done it. Not exactly an “ice bucket,” per se, but the point is to donate and pour water on yourself on camera and post it online and raise awareness.
We think…
You can donate to ALS research, here. (Just keep your shirt on.)
If you’re trying to win your third consecutive U.S. Open by overcoming injury and whatever this was, it’s probably best to train in sensible footwear and not 6-inch pumps like these puppies…
But, as we all know, you can’t really tell Serena what to do — or expect her to forgo an opportunity to show off her fashionable side on primetime national TV — though it would appear you can tell her to drill a tennis ball at a storefront window in midtown Manhattan. She’s cool with that kind of stuff.
So are we. Just don’t get hurt, Serena. Ok?
Williams comes into this year’s tournament a 3-2 favorite, going up against 18-year-old American Taylor Townsend on Monday.
Jean-Claude Van Damme has some really great genes. He fathered, along with fitness competitor Gladys Portugues, a girl who goes by the name of Bianca Bree. She’s a Belgian-American actress and is probably one of the attractive girls I’ve ever seen in my life. We here at SportsGrid love Paulina Gretzky, but I want to make it known that I’m officially hopping on the Bianca Bree bandwagon for Sexiest Athlete’s Daughter.
Bree was nominated to take part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, so naturally she put on a bikini and did a split while being filmed in 1080p HD video. No matter what I say here, you’ve already moved on to the video below because seeing Bree in that split is more important than anything I could possibly add. So just go ahead and watch it.
The bar has been set. This is the best Ice Bucket Challenge yet and will be difficult to beat. Good luck.
Damn. #WeAreListening

That’s a poem by Lord Byron, Derek Jeter’s 19th century sexual predecessor and cultural equal. Both were adored by the world in which they lived, both had a penchant for love making (though Byron was a bit of a switch hitter if you catch our drift), and both couldn’t hit for power to save their lives. It’s a shame these two never met and had the chance to party the Hawaiian Tropic bar in Times Square, with Barkley, M.J., and Tiger in tow.
Below, the greatest loves of Derek Jeter’s life not named Scott Brosius…
I guess if it’s ok for any professional athlete to smoke, it’d be Raiders all-time scoring leader Sebastian Janikowski (1,515 points). Brooke Haven told TMZ about the time he dropped a lit cigarette into a pile of papers, inside a car.
“We were driving one time in the Navigator, I was driving, and he was smoking a cigarette outside the window or something — he was hanging out [the window] singing Nelly, and all of a sudden the next thing you know the inside and the car is on fire. He dropped the cigarette down into the side panel of the door and all these papers were on fire. He takes them, throws them all out the window and says, ‘Fuck it. Keep going.’ That was it.”
Sounds like a fun dude.

Justin Brent got to check out the Knicks’ exciting 103-100 win over the Wizards Wednesday night, then had one of those Hugh Grant/rom-comy New York nights that ended with his date screaming “…but I love you!” from a cab window as he clumsily ran alongside it with a bouquet of roses.
…it just happened to be with the most famous porn star on Earth: Lisa Ann.
Deadspin managed to snag a photo of the two cuddling post-coitus from an unidentified source — possibly Lisa Ann herself, who stays in the sports blogosphere headlines by playing fantasy football and taking college kids to prom — surprising literally no one. Come on, we all knew where this thing was headed as soon as she posted this bad boy Wednesday night.
Last night, she broke down her logic for enjoying the company of 19-year-old college football players. Wonder if she knows Sebastian Janikowski?
I am very entertained today by the incredible amount of commentary about my date to the @nyknicks Game Last Night..
