Monica Puig is one of tennis’ hottest sensations, and the 21-year-old star is also one of the hottest talents to ever come out of Puerto Rico. Tennis is a tough game, though, and Monica Puig learned that during the first round of the ASB Classic, as she lost to longtime doubles partner Marina Erakovic in the first round of the ASB Classic.

Puig still put on an impressive display. Marina had to do some serious rallying to come back–and it was probably a very respectful match, considering that Monica and Maria had already won as a doubles team just the day before. We’re still okay in admitting that we were rooting for Monica–who’s always had a top position in our own women’s tennis rankings. That puts her up there with stunning players like Anna Kournikova, Elena Vesnina, Mandy Minella, Genie Bouchard, and even Alexandra Daddario.
We’re pretty sure that Monica Puig will keep having a good 2015, too. She’s still fresh off winning the WTA Rising Stars Invitational in Singapore. Check out these pics, and see why Monica sure looks like a winner to us…
