Hot property - Tennis' finest
The temperature always goes up at the Australian Open - and it's not always because of the blistering Melbourne weather.
The thermometer often rises because of the smokin' hot athletes battling away on the court.
From veterans like Rafael Nadal to Maria Sharapova to rising stars like Eugenie Bouchard or Gregor Dimitrov, here are the racquet weilding hotshots to keep an extra close eye on (both on and off the court) in 2015.
Eugenie Bouchard has quickly become one of the biggest names on tour
The Canadian is a Melbourne Park fan favourite.
Indeed, supporters bought gifts to her matches.
Her giant killing run at the 2014 Aussie Open included the scalp of Casey Dellacqua.
Sam Duvall says she has got it all - talent, personality, a brain and stunning looks.
She's certainly no slouch off the court.
And we haven't even mentioned her dancing.
We're not sure if her ultimate date would still be with Justin Bieber.
She'll be joined by glamorous tour veterans like Maria Sharapova.
