Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on the second of the four elite divisions for the "Hottest Female Athlete of All Time". The first one wasn't as great as many would assume. However, maybe you'll think that this group will be better.

Bracket #2 Preview
The "Maria Sharapova Region" may be the most evenly matched of all the regions. Any of the 1-6 seeds could advance to the FFOH. What really stands out is the sheer depth of hotness in this region. This could aptly be labeled the dreaded “Group of Death”.
Best first round match: Becky Hammon vs. Mary Sauer
Sauer has been naked on camera and Hammon has the best smile in the WNBA. A toss up.
Biggest mismatch: Ana Paula Mancino vs. Mary Sanders
Mancino makes one long for Brazil, or makes one just long. Hehehe.
Second round watch: Alisa Camplin vs. Alina Kabaeva Jeanette Lee vs. Tara Dakides
Best bet to advance to the Final Four of Hotness: Ana Paula Mancino or Maria Sharapova
Dark horse: Becky Hammon, Jeanette Lee
Again, we are looking to close the voting at around one week from now, which means that the voting for this region will end at about 5:00 AM on November 4, 2008 (Tuesday). And feel free to add more pictures of these lovely ladies to help convince other people that one's hotter than the other. We won't say no to that; who would?
I'd also like to thank Steel Town for providing us with two great pictures of Ashley Harkelroad.
