When Your Tennis Career Isn’t Impressive, Pose for Playboy

You’ve got a killer bod but your tennis career isn’t quite taking off. What’s an atheltic hottie to do?
Why, pose for Playboy, of course.
We know that the heads-up about American player Ashley Harkleroad giving ol’ Hef a photographic thrill hit the media several months ago. Now that the August 2008 issue is here, we’re just tossing out a friendly PSA your way.
The “it’s in, it’s out, it’s over” jokes are almost too easy, so we invite you to make your own. Kind of like Build-A-Bear, only less-family friendly.

Think Harkleroad is just following the footsteps of Anna Kournikova or Maria Sharapova? Think again. Neither of them have posed for Playboy. Harkleroad is the first tennis player to reveal her birthday suit for the mag.
Hey, if Ashley Harkleroad never achieves notable results in tennis, she can take solace in the fact that she’ll at least be the answer to a trivia question some day.
What’s that? Oh, OK. If you insist . . . a few more pictures (but for the rest, you’re on your own).
