5. Caroline Wozniacki


Google Results From Past Year: 7,710,000
Rory McIlroy’s girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki had an incredible run in 2010 and 2011 that led her to the top of the world tennis rankings. Unfortunately, either she cooled off or her competition heated up in 2012, because now she sits at #10.
Nevertheless, she’s still one of the most popular players in the world, and the #5 most Googled female athlete.

4. Maria Sharapova

There are 3 tennis players in the top 5, and Maria Sharapova is the second. 2012 was a fantastic year on the court for the Russian-American bombshell. In May she complete the very rare Career Grand Slam by winning the French Open, which at the same time vaulted her back to the top of the rankings for a while.
Right now she sits at #2, but hey, that’s still pretty good.

3. Michelle Jenneke



Google Results From Past Year: 14,800,000
Australia’s Michelle Jenneke became an international superstar (or sorts) this summer, and the hurdler didn’t even compete in the Olympics. Instead, the then-18-year-old became an internet sensation when a video of her pre-race warmup routine found its way to the web.
Man, the internet is a crazy place.

Serena Williams was #1 in 2010 and #1 in 2011. But in 2012, despite having an absolutely killer comeback year on the court in which she won Wimbledon, the Olympics, and the U.S. Open, Serena finds herself at #2 on the list of most Googled female athletes.
Who the heck is #1, you ask?
Well, drumroll please…

1. Jessica Ennis



Google Results From Past Year: 29,400,000
Jessica Ennis was by far the most-hyped and therefore most famous British athlete heading into the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. That had to put a lot of pressure on the 26-year-old heptathlete and hurdler.
However, that pressure was no match for Ennis. She lived up to all the expectations by taking gold in the women’s heptathlon, thus earning the unofficial title “greatest female athlete in the world.”
Now she’s earned a new title: most Googled female athlete of 2012.
Congratulations, Jennifer. You’re very deserving.
