Tennis-Point.com or the hottest tennis TV commercials ever

If you have followed the last Grand Slam tournaments through Eurosport, you probably noticed the TV advertisements of the online tennis clothing and equipment shop Tennis-Point. These commercials feature the workout session of a group of young and beautiful tennis players. Here it is the full version of the latest one, aired during the Australian Open and named Ready for Tennis, which was filmed in Fuerteventura (Canary Islands, Spain) in November 2012. Soundtrack is Life is Beautiful by Tim McMorris.



And this was the commercial shown during US Open 2012, called Get Ready for Tennis, with On top of the World by Tim McMorris as soundtrack.



Unfortunately, we couldn't figure out the name of the beautiful models/athletes who also show pretty good tennis skills.
