Monday, the best tennis players from around the world converged on Queens, New York for the 2009 US Open.

And if you’re a COED reader, you know how much we love us some sexy tennis players! So to get you in the mood for this year’s back-and-forth battle of the rackets, we’ve put together galleries of all the hottest babes of the 2009 US Open. There are a ton of hotties you’ve probably never heard of, and a few omissions that usually make these kinds of lists (sorry Jelena Jankovic and Venus Williams – you just didn’t make the cut). Enjoy!

Elena Dementieva

WTA Ranking: 04
Age: 27
Home Country:Russia

If you like to mix money and women, place your bets on this ravishing Russian winning the whole damn thing. She earned her first international title at age 13; went pro in ‘98, top 100 in ‘99. In 2008, Elena won the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships (and $1.5 million), her first Tier II title since ‘06. Despite repeatedly making it to many final rounds in ‘08 and ‘09, we think she’s got another win up her sleeve, shorts–she’s got it hidden there, somewhere.
