Maria Sharapova is no stranger to holding her own when all eyes are on her, and the tennis pro did just that when she recently posed for Esquire Latin America's June cover. 

The men's magazine wisely tapped the statuesque blond beauty to pose in chic summer-ready swimwear in Hermosa Beach, Calif., and we have to say, they couldn't have picked a better cover girl! 

From her gorgeous features to her toned, athletic bod with curves in all the right places, she looks strong and seriously sexy in this shoot.

We've got a sneak peek at the behind-the-scenes footage of all the fun in the sun shot by photographer John Russo, where Sharapova flaunted her flawless figure in cute suits including a retro-inspired halter one-piece silhouette, a strapless black-and-white bikini with high-waisted bottoms, a sizzling gold number and more. 

Her makeup was kept soft and natural, while her blond locks were left slightly tousled for the perfect beach bomshell look. 

Check out the video to see for yourself!
