Revealing: Maria Kirilenko took to the court today at Wimbledon wearing a short dress that showed off her toned legs


She's well known for wearing skirts that reveal her incredibly toned thighs.

And Russian tennis player Maria Kirilenko did not disappoint fans today as she took to the court in a skimpy dress on the hottest day of the Wimbledon tournament so far.

The 20-year-old battled back from the brink and beat Stefanie Voegele in three sets on Monday to win her place in today's second round match against Shenay Perry.

The 27th seed was just five points from going out on the third day of the tournament towards the end of the second set and trailed 5-3 in the decider before turning the set around.

It was just her third singles victory in seven appearances at The Championships.
Meanwhile, there were fears that Wimbledon's refusal to broadcast England's World Cup match against Slovenia could mean fans snub the tennis in favour of the football.

Andy Murray trained at SW19 at lunchtime - but went home to watch the England game because of Wimbledon rules.

The Scot said: 'I was told that they banned the England match from the grounds here. So if I'm home in time, I'll watch it.'

Murray was the only Brit to make it past the first round, cruising to a straight sets win over Jan Hajek.
