RACHEL STUHLMANN put new spin on a famous winner from Ana Ivanovic – by recreating a daring photoshoot.
The social media star posed in a bikini and draped her legs in a tennis net, just as former world No1 Ivanovic did in 2010.

SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE PICS OF RACHEL
Stuhlmann looked every inch a Glam Slam victor as she posted the snaps for Halloween.
The qualified tennis coach wowed fans just as much last year when she replicated three looks made notable by ex-world No3 Gabriela Sabatini.
But despite choosing the ghostliest time of the year, the American’s latest visual homage to iconic images was the opposite of scary for fans.
Nonetheless, it’s spooky how well she knows what her followers want.
“Holy hot!” responded one enthusiast, and “best ad for tennis in history,” suggested another of her sizzling second serve of Ivanovic style.
Rachel was also called “perfection” and a “supermodel” – powerful but routine praise for someone often regarded as the “sexiest influencer in tennis”.
She explained her motivation for revisiting Ivanovic’s pictures, in which she wore a similar yellow outfit, as well as a hot pink bikini.
Rachel told Swimsuit SI (Sports Illustrated): “I remember when I was younger, seeing the photos.
“It’s definitely one of the more edgier tennis photoshoots, and I felt like it was on-brand for me. I admire Ana and loved how hard a fighter she was on the court.
“It was really fun to recreate such an iconic photoshoot and pay a small tribute to her.”
Fans were equally happy with Rachl;’s decision, variously labelling it a “gorgeous shoot” … “beautiful and sexy” … “so cute” and a”win-win”.
And the only frightening note worthy of Halloween came from the pain of spotting one pun from an admirer of her Ivanovic tribute.
“Net gain,” the fan wrote – a joke that deserves to come back to haunt him.
