(December 26, 2011) Last week Total Pro Sports released the list of 30 Most Googled Female Athletes of 2011—over half of which are tennis players. As determined by the number of Google search results in the past 12 months, female tennis players dominated the list, occupying the top 5 spots and 18 total spots of the 30.
2011 is the second consecutive year Serena Williams has found herself at the top of the list. After spending the majority of the season out due to injury, Williams still received more than twice as many hits as the second most Googled female athlete, Maria Sharapova.
