Tennis Star Ashley Harkleroad Poses Nude In Playboy
The once relatively unknown tennis player, Ashley Harkleroad, has now become a household name by recently posing for Playboy.
Ashley Harkleroad may have been defeated by Serena Williams at the French Open on Sunday, but she claimed a more glamorous coup by appearing on the pages of Playboy magazine.
The 23-year-old Harkleroad found herself kicking her heels earlier this year when she was recovering from surgery to remove a cyst from her ovaries.
“I was just laying there for three weeks, and, you know, an offer came to me,” the woman from smalltown Georgia told goggle-eyed reporters.
“I thought, well, I’m not really doing anything right now so I thought about it and it was something that I did. I’m proud of my body. I was representing a female athlete’s body.”
“I stay in shape and try to stay fit, so like I said, I’m just trying to represent a female athlete and her body. That can be sexy too, you know.”
Serena was full of admiration for Harkleroad’s naked ambition when she was told about the Los Angeles photoshoot.
“I’m just surprised that she beat me to it,” Serena, no stranger to the camera lens herself, joked with reporters.
“I’m happy for her if that’s what she wanted to do. It takes a lot of courage. And whether I’m courageous enough, I don’t know, but that’s great for someone to be so courageous and tough.”
