Tennis stars Eugenie Bouchard and Urszula Radwanska in revealing gowns at annual pre-Wimbledon party

Serving up daring looks! Tennis stars Eugenie Bouchard and Urszula Radwanska don VERY revealing gowns at annual pre-Wimbledon party

They're talented in their field, as some of the top female tennis players of the moment.
But Eugenie Bouchard and Urszula Radwanska were making waves off the tennis court on Thursday evening, as they each put on sexy displays in their respective ensembles at the annual WTA Pre-Wimbledon Party at The Roof Gardens in Kensington, London.
Canadian player Eugenie, 21, led the way in a very revealing white backless dress by Ralph Lauren.

The figure-hugging garment skimmed over the professional's svelte and athletic curves and, as she turned to show off the dress' pièce de résistance, she revealed she was going braless.
A turn to the side would also reveal a small glimpse of her sideboob, but she didn't seem to care as she worked the cameras hard, flashing her gorgeous smile and flicking her blonde locks.
While she often wears tennis whites, it was a complete departure from her usual sporty attire, and it's something she appeared to enjoy.

Also leaving little to the imagination on her arrival at the prestigious event was Polish player Urszula.
The 24-year-old beauty displayed her lithe and sporty shape in an incredibly eye-popping black dress.
Appearing like two swathes of fabric at the front and back, it was held together with three wide bands down the side, revealing a lot of her supple skin and showing that she was going without underwear.

It was almost a Liz Hurley moment in the dress, as she flashed a lot of her toned thigh and slim torso, as well as her shapely shoulders and arms.
The blonde sports star wore her crimped locks in a chic up-do as she attended the sporty soiree.
Eugenie is currently ranked as the world number 11, and Urszula is currently sitting at 107.
Last year saw the Canadian tennis ace make it to the Wimbledon singles finals, where she faced off against Czech player Petra Kvitova, but lost in straight sets.

Also arriving in style on Thursday evening were tennis champs Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams and Ana Ivanovic, who showed off their glamorous sides.
Leading the elegance was Russian tennis ace Maria, who looked sensational as she showed off her tennis court-honed legs in an embellished mini dress.

The 28-year-old proved her worth as a style star in the eye-catching garment, in shades of nude, pale pink and dove grey, complete with a delicate applique floral design.
Slightly cinched in at the beauty's slim waist, it also included sheer sleeves and an almost dangerously thigh-skimming hemline.
But the sports star's perfect legs were a true match for the short dress, which she teamed with a simple pair of nude strappy heels and a tiny bright pink box clutch.
She turned on the charm for the cameras as she posed on the red carpet, showing off her beaming smile and golden locks coiffed into neat curls for the occasion.

Last year, Maria was knocked out by Germany's Angelique Kerber in the fourth round of the competition.
Nevertheless, she retains an impressive 41-11 win-loss record at the famous contest - her previous win at the annual tournament was in 2004, and 2011 was the only other time she made it into the finals.
The annual party, held just days ahead of the world's most famous tennis championships in London's SW19, also saw bona fide sports stars Ana and Serena in attendance, both of them showing off their court-honed legs in elegant dresses.
Feeling blue? Ana, 27, was a remarkable beauty in her figure-hugging bright blue dress, complete with a daring leg slit up the skirt

Serbian professional Ana, 27, cut an impeccable figure in a curve-skimming full-length royal blue gown.
And she did her best Angelina Jolie impression as she showed off her leg through the thigh-high slit up the side of the skirt.
The figure-hugging item showed off her slim shape, and was completed with a nude panel across the back and sides, giving the illusion of a completely backless top half.

It was a date-night for Ana, too, as she was accompanied on the red carpet by her footballer fiance Bastian Schweinsteiger, who looked dapper in a three-piece black suit. 
Earlier in the day Ivanovic was put through her paces during a practice session at the famous Wimbledon court.
She is certainly hoping to succeed in this year's competition, having never gone past the semi-final stage before at the grass court Grand Slam. 
Also known for her love of fashion as well as her envy-inducing figure, Serena was a true beauty in a navy blue skater dress.
Hugging her waist, the flirty and short A-line hem of the little number looked glorious on the 33-year-old's toned and lean physique. 
Reigning champ: Last year's Wimbledon Ladies' Singles winner Petra Kvitova also went for the 'legs is more' theme in a little blue dress with a cold-shoulder detail

US champ Serena is currently ranked the world number one in women's single's tennis, while Maria is number four, and Ana is number seven. 
After winning her twentieth Grand Slam title at Roland Garros earlier this month, Serena is one of the top picks to take the prestigious Wimbledon title this year - she has won Wimbledon five times. 
The women will be battling it out on the courts at this year's championships, which run from June 29 until July 12, while being watched by millions of avid tennis fans across the globe.

Also putting in an appearance at the annual pre-Wimbledon party, this year sponsored by Dubai Duty Free, was last year's Ladies' Singles winner Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic.
The 25-year-old reigning Wimbledon champion also went for a leggy display in her own frock, a simple but effective flowing blue number with cut-out shoulders.
Thursday was certainly a night for the ladies of the tennis world to shine, as Wimbledon hopefuls Laura Robson and Heather Watson also attended to let their hair down before their battle on the courts were to commence. 
Laura, one of Britain's most famous tennis players, is a regular face at the annual pre-event party.
And this year the 21-year-old put on a typical display in a gorgeous scarlet red dress with frilled short sleeves and a flirty little skirt.

Her dark brunette tresses were oh-so glam, styled into Hollywood-chic waves over one shoulder.
British hopeful Heather, also 21, went for a slightly more unique look for the night, but it was one that certainly stood out among the crowd.
Flaunting her lean arms and legs, she sported a teeny-tiny powder blue mini dress with a pale pink pleated skirt and a cinched-in belt detail. 
A few non-tennis star guests were also in attendance, including Sir Richard Branson and his children Holly and Sam.

But his beautiful daughter Holly certainly stole the limelight, going head-to-head with the sporting ladies in the style stakes in her striking strapless peach dress with a split fronted skirt. 
Sam attended with his lovely wife Isabella, the two of them sticking together as they posed ahead of entering the swish bash.

Laura Robson ditches her tennis whites in favour of an elegant powder blue dress at the WTA pre-party

Looking ACE! Laura Robson ditches her tennis whites in favour of an elegant powder blue dress as she kicks off the Wimbledon season at WTA pre-party 

She's most likely to be seen slipping into her trusty tennis whites as she prepares to go to battle on the court. 
But Laura Robson proved that while she's best known for her sporting success, she's equally spot-on when it comes to sartorial savvy as she put on an elegant display at the WTA pre-Wimbledon party - presented by Dubai Duty Free - at The Roof Gardens, Kensington, on Thursday night. 
Looking the picture of ladylike chic as she worked her magic in front of the camera at the central London venue, the 20-year-old tennis ace showed off her toned figure in a pretty powder blue spaghetti-strap dress by Preen By Thornton Bregazzi.

The talented sportswoman added height to her frame with a pair of unusual yellow and navy lace-up heels by Sophia Webster, and accessorised with delicate silver jewellery.
    Laura wore her dark brunette locks tumbling loosely around her shoulders, while opting for simple bronze make-up to highlight her striking features to perfection as she mingled inside the bash, which was held in association with Ciroc Vodka. 
    But while the former Wimbledon Junior champion looked eager to get cracking on the British tennis tournament, she has unfortunately been stuck down by injury, and was wearing a brace on her wrist as an unwelcome accessory.

    Laura's wrist ailment has been plaguing her since the start of the year when she was forced to retire from her first round match at the Hobart International due to the problem, which has continued to affect her game. 
    The tennis star's Wimbledon journey came to an emotional end in 2013, when she left Court No 1 fighting back tears after suffering a defeat at the hands of Estonian Kaia Kanepi.
    Visibly devastated, she said of her loss: 'It is more disappointing because I put so much pressure on myself. I had my chances and I just didn’t take them.

    'I have so much to work on before I can even think of getting to Slam finals. 
    'But, cliched as it sounds, it’s all part of the learning experience and the more I get myself in these situations the more I’m going to benefit.'
    Despite her loss, insiders are predicting her off-court earnings will hit £1 million because of her nationwide popularity; she has already signed up to become the face of Virgin Active alongside Richard Branson.
