ICYMI Yahoo has released its roster of the most-searched athletes of the year. Fronting the list is the UFC’s Ronda Rousey, and three tennis players appear, all of them female: Maria Sharapova (No. 3), Caroline Wozniacki (No. 5), Ana Ivanovic (No. 9).

Conspicuously absent: Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic, by far the best on the pro tours.
