A stunning tennis star turned Playboy model has been forced to edit her pictures to cover her modesty as she flaunted her ‘boob job.’<\/p>\n

Ashley Harkleroad became the first active tennis player to pose nude in Playboy<\/a> during the prime years of her career back in August 2008. But the American never fulfilled her potential on court when she reached a career high ranking of 39th in the world in 2003, at just 18, after a run to the third round at Roland Garros.<\/p>\n

However, she is instead more remembered for her modelling career<\/a>, which went up another gear after she retired from the sport in 2012 at the age of 27 in favour of a move into modelling and even opened an adult subscription account in 2022, where fans could purchase more premium content. However, her account has since been deleted.<\/p>\n

Ashley still posts regularly to her 130,000 followers on Instagram, often leaving them hot under the collar as she shows off her jaw-dropping body. While still posing with tennis rackets as she enjoys a recreational knockabout, her feed is flooded with eye-popping bikini snaps, where she shows off her impressive boob job<\/p>\n

However, her recent post almost gave fans a sight that many would have had to pay for years ago as she was forced to edit a heart over her bikini bottoms as she laid on her back with her legs in the air.<\/p>\n

Fans swooned over her in the comments section, as one said: “You look so beautiful!” A second added: “My dreams!” While a third lauded: “My teenage crush is ageing like fine wine!”<\/p>\n

In early 2008, the American had been recovering from ovarian cyst surgery when the opportunity to pose for the magazine came about at just 23. “I was just laying there for three weeks, and, you know, an offer came to me,” she said after a French Open defeat to Serena Williams in May of that year.<\/p>\n

“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..<\/p>\n

“It was hard work, but, you know, it was just a completely different experience. It was fun. I think it comes out July 13th. It’s the August edition. So you’ll see for yourself.”<\/p>\n

The former WTA competitor was married to fellow tennis pro Chuck Adams, but they split earlier this year. They wed in September 2009 and had two children together, with Ashley maintaining her modelling career throughout.<\/p>\n

The mother of two confirmed their marriage reached its conclusion after Adams filed divorce papers, citing “irreconcilable differences,”<\/p>\n

She told TMZ earlier this year: “I got married when I was 19 years old. I\u2019ve spent the majority of my life listening to men. Obeying them, my dad, my coach who was also my husband.<\/p>\n

“And although he is an incredible father and lifelong friend it\u2019s time for me to live my life on my own terms. I deserve that. Freedom.”<\/p>\n

It marked Ashley’s second divorce after she was previously married to another tennis pro, Alex Bogomolov Jr, for less than two years between 2004 and 2006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WARNING NUDITY: A tennis ace turned Playboy star who retired and later became a model has been forced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[13350,28],"class_list":["post-55720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-gold-star","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
