World number four tennis star Agnieszka Radwanska has reportedly been dropped by a Catholic youth movement for posing naked for a magazine.

The 24-year-old was photographed nude while sitting in a deckchair next to a swimming pool filled with tennis balls for the 'Body Issue' of ESPN's magazine.

After the front cover was published, Catholic youth group Krucjata Mlodych decided to drop her from their campaigns due to the tennis player's "immoral behaviour", according to the Daily Mail.

Senior Catholic priest Father Marek Dziewiecki is quoted as saying: "It's a shame that someone who has declared their love for Jesus is now promoting the mentality of men looking at a woman as a thing rather than a child of God worthy of respect and love."

Radwanska was knocked out of Wimbledon in the semi-final stage to German Sabine Lisicki, who went on to lose the final to Marion Bartoli.
