Is Derek Jeter's girl the next Kate Upton? Hannah Davis makes 'huge first impression' on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue shoot

Hannah Davis has already modeled for Ralph Lauren and Victoria's Secret.
But the rumored girlfriend of Derek Jeter could be set to reach a new level of fame after posing for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
The model, 22, who hails from the U.S. Virgin Islands, has been tipped to be 'this year’s Kate Upton' by the New York Post.

The new Kate Upton? Model Hannah Davis apparently made a huge first impression on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue editors, and has been tipped to be the next cover star

She apparently made 'a rare, huge first impression' on the magazine's editors during the shoot, a source told the paper.

 

Though we will not learn of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover star until next month, the praise indicates that the bombshell blonde is certainly in the running.

Miss Davis, who was scouted at the age of 14 by a family friend, is also a Caribbean tennis champion, having competed since she was a child. She is also a volleyball player and played on the Virgin Islands National Volleyball Team.
The model is a favorite with Ralph Lauren, having appeared in campaigns for the fashion giant's Blue Label collection and Ralph Rocks fragrance as well as its mainline.
She has also modeled for Victoria's Secret, American Eagle, Tommy Hilfiger and Levi's.

Sporting chance: Miss Davis has apparently been dating Yankee Derek Jeter since the summer

Miss Davis has apparently been dating Mr Jeter - who is 16 years her senior - for several months.
The New York Post reported this  summer that the pair had been spotted clubbing together. Last month, the couple were also seen on a date at Manhattan's Gramercy Park Hotel.
