Ever since Coleen became a yummy mummy, and Victoria Beckham moved from the sidelines to the front row, the original WAGs have somewhat lost their jazzle. These days there’s a new, superior breed of sporty spouse.
Meet the TWAGS, the ATP tour wives and girlfriends. They’re groomed to perfection, all Ralph Lauren sweaters, Rolex Oysters and shiny long hair.
Mrs Federer, Mirka, once a tennis champ herself, is chief TWAG. She looks a bit like Karren Brady swallowed Pippa Middleton. Then there’s Jelena Ristic, who world number one Novak Djokovic has been courting — geddit? — for the past six years. And, of course, Xisca Perello, netted —sorry — by Rafael Nadal in 2005, a raven-haired hottie from his hometown in Mallorca. But rising star of the TWAGs and our major girl crush has got to be Andy Murray’s love match Kim Sears, a true Boden beauty whose year-round tan, Duchess of Cambridge mane and penchant for Scrabble reveal a grand slam — OK, I’m done — of good breeding.
