THE “world’s sexiest tennis influencer” Rachel Stuhlmann has smashed it as she emulates tennis icon Gabriela Sabatini for Halloween.
Stuhlmann, who has made waves since breaking out as a tennis influencer, has recreated the iconic look of sporting hero Sabatini.
And in the build-up to the popular spooky holiday, Stuhlmann revealed her reasons behind the cosplay and explained her likeness to her was a part of the inspiration.
She told NeedToKnow.online: “Sabatini was one of the leading players in the mid-80s through the mid-90s.
“Not only was she a champion and Hall of Famer but she’s done so much charitable work.
“She’s also inspired me as a businesswoman.

“I love perfume so I always loved that she had her own perfume line.
“I have been told a variety of times in my career that I resemble Gabriela, which has always been a fun compliment for me.”
Sabatini won one tennis major during her singles career – the 1990 US Open – while she also added a Wimbledon winners medal in the doubles category.
She featured in a number of finals and semi-finals but was never able to add another major single’s title to the trophy cabinet.

Meanwhile, Stuhlmann, 30, recently confessed her love for the British accent.
She said: “I’ve met a few British guys on the tour, and they are all so nice and charming.
