As a dedicated fitness trainer, I’ve marveled at the physical grace of tennis players, appreciating their athletic prowess. Their blend of strength and style resonates with my own journey in the fitness world.
Curious and eager for diverse perspectives, I asked my readers and teammates at Total Shape to cast their votes on who they like to watch most on a tennis court. And we asked that they don’t vote based on their sporting talents.
Join me as we unveil the stars who’ve not only mastered the game but have won our hearts with their charisma.
18 Hottest Male Tennis Players
Here are the top 18 hottest male tennis players:
18 - Casper Ruud
The dashing Norwegian tennis heartthrob, Casper Ruud, born in 1998, isn't just a treat for the eyes but is also a force on the tennis court.
At Total Shape, we appreciate how elite athletes like Casper Ruud maintain their peak performance through rigorous training and a well-balanced diet. In fact, I’ve read that Casper often enjoys a plate of grilled chicken and steamed vegetables before a match, a meal choice that I’ve personally found to be an excellent source of clean energy for workouts and endurance sports.
With unmatched charm and talent, Casper is one of the brightest stars of his generation and a clay court maestro to boot.

17 - Tommy Paul
The striking American tennis sensation, Thomas "Tommy" Paul, born in 1997, is not just a sight to behold but also a powerhouse on the court.
I've always admired his athleticism. Seeing Tommy on a tennis court reminds me of the energy I feel during my workouts. His dedication to resistance training and cardio is something I can relate to.
Stealing the spotlight, Tommy clinched his first ATP title at the 2021 Stockholm Open, proving that he's both style and substance.

16 - Grigor Dimitrov
I’ve often found myself, along with legions of fans, drawn to the enigmatic aura that surrounds Grigor Dimitrov.
But the charismatic Bulgarian tennis superstar is more than just a handsome face on the court.
Soaring to a staggering world No. 3 ranking in November 2017, he's Bulgaria's tennis jewel. He also clinched the Bulgarian Sportsperson of the Year title twice and dazzled as the Balkan Athlete of the Year in 2017.
Off the court, Dimitrov is known for his impeccable style, often spotted in designer outfits that highlight his athletic build and charismatic presence.

Alexander’s home country of Germany has produced many star tennis players over the decades, and this 24-year-old is looking for as much Wimbledon success as Boris Becker.
