RAFAEL NADAL/SHAKIRA

Honestly, can it get sexier than the gorgeous Rafa and the even more gorgeous Shakira? The 23-year-old tennis ace and the Hips Don’t Lie crooner, 33, have set tongues wagging about a secret liaison after being spotted in each other’s company on more than one occasion. She cheers him on from the stands, he waits patiently for her at rehearsals, even starring in her super steamy music video. The super sexy pair is denying a relationship, but all we can — or want to hear — is “love all”.

LEANDER PAES/RHEA PILLAI

Beckbagan boy Leander Paes and his model-wife Rhea Pillai may be one of the most low-profile celebrity couples in the world of sport, but when it comes to SQ (sexy quotient, yaar) they take game, set and match. Together and individually.

ANNA KOURNIKOVA/ENRIQUE IGLESIAS

She’s the pin-up tennis babe of her generation, a regular topper on “sexy sportswomen” polls and a hot favourite on men’s magazine covers. He is the sexiest singer of our times. Together, they have featured on every “hottest couple” list for years. Ever since she starred in his raunchy Escape video in 2001, the Anna-Enrique romance has been red hot. So what if she got nowhere with a tennis racquet? With a body and a boyfriend like that, we forgive you Anna.
And now there’s talk of Kournikova-Iglesias (Jr) on the way!

ANDRE AGASSI/STEFFI GRAF

When two of the most talented names in world tennis decided to become man and wife in 2001, it was as good as it gets. Today, Agassi — the undisputed pin-up boy of the game for the longest possible time — and Graf — once every male tennis fan’s fantasy — have a rock steady marriage. Even nine years and two children later, few can get as fetching as the publicity-shy first couple of the tennis world.

ASHLEY/CHERYL COLE

There are hushed whispers of the four-year-old marriage being wrong-footed with Chelsea star Ashley Cole rumoured to have done a Tiger Woods on his singer-model wife Cheryl. But few can deny that the two make for a superhot pair. Doubt us? Look left. And wonder what could have got Ashley to cheat on Cheryl ‘two much’ Cole.

ALEX RODRIGUEZ/CAMERON DIAZ

He has dated the likes of Madonna and Kate Hudson, but our vote goes for American baseball hottie Alex Rodriguez’s current squeeze, Cameron Diaz. Yes, THE Cameron Diaz.

ANDY RODDICK/BROOKLYN DECKER

What do you get when you rally together a top-ranked tennis player and a swimsuit model? A sexy with a capital S couple! Great American hope Andy Roddick and his wife of 10 months Brooklyn Decker, the face, er, body of Victoria’s Secret are steaming up the tennis circuit. The Internet has numerous polls on who among the two is hotter? What say you?

JYOTI RANDHAWA/CHITRANGDA SINGH

An ace golfer and a drop-dead gorgeous actress make for an irresistible combination. The publicity-shy Jyoti Randhawa is the strong and silent type on the golf greens, while his dusky wife is the sex symbol with a difference, on screen and off it.

MOHAMMAD AZHARUDDIN/ SANGEETA BIJLANI

Okay, he isn’t as sexy as his wristwork but stylish he is for sure, and he has the still-gorgeous Sangeeta Bijlani by his side. From glam parties to election rallies, the former Indian cricket captain and the former Miss India turn heads wherever they go.

TOM BRADY/GISELE BUNDCHEN

American football quarterback Tom Brady and his Brazilian supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen should come with a fire warning. They’re that hot.

DAVID/ VICTORIA BECKHAM

The originals. English soccer star Beckham and his singer-wife Victoria aka Posh are the quintessential ‘it’ couple, jet-setting across the world, hobnobbing with the Hollywood glitterati or just causing the paparazzi to go insane. If Victoria was the first real WAG (a term used to describe wives and girlfriends of sportsmen) brand Beckham is super sexy.
