Hot stuff: Top 5 music videos featuring tennis players

I just saw Martin Solveig's latest music video Hello which was shot at Roland Garros and I thought it would be interesting to do a compilation of some music videos with tennis players on them.

5- Olga Barabanschikova - Poslednii tanets
The former WTA player from Belarus pursued a showbussiness career as model, TV host and singer after her retirement. In this video she combined her two passions, music and tennis.



4- Igor Nikolaev - Kak Ty Prekrasna (feat. Elena Dementieva)
The usually discreet Olympic champion Elena Dementieva looked stunning in this video of Russian singer Igor Nikolaev.



3- Martin Solveig & Dragonette - Hello (feat. Novak Djokovic & Gael Monfils)
Not only the video is shot in Roland Garros with Solveig looking like Bjorn Borg and Bob Sinclair as Andre Agassi, but ATP stars Novak Djokovic and Gael Monfils play key roles on it. WTA fans may even recognize French players Mathilde Johansson (as the lineswoman) and Olivia Sanchez (as one of Sinclair's fans)



2- Shakira - Gypsy (feat. Rafael Nadal)
This video showed a great chemistry between big Latin music star Shakira and a shirtless ATP No.1 Rafael Nadal, including an epic kiss at the end of the video.



1- Enrique Iglesias - Escape (feat. Anna Kournikova)

In late 2001 Iglesias asked the WTA sex-symbol to star in the video for his hit Escape, which includes scenes with both stars making out in the ladies restroom and inside a car. Then they started a relationship in real life that lasts for more than 8 years.
