Wimbledon 2013

I don't know if John Inverdale has children but if he has daughters it must be a relationship of plain speaking. He just said:

"When Marion Bartoli was a young girl her father will have told her that you're never going to be as looker, you've got to try something different."

That's like bullying. :lol:



Allez Marion!;)
 
Didn't realise Bartoli - or as one of the daft wimbledon commentators called her - a ball of perpetual french motion ( :lol: ), hasn't yet lost a set.

She's hardly played anyone of note though. Lisicki has had a ridiculously tough route to get here.
 
How do you become one of these line judges? I might apply. Can't be a hard job having to stare at Lisicki's ass all day and occasionally shout
 
Bartoli's little fist pump before every point pisses me off. She's been the first to settle here, though. Lisicki's feeling the nerves. Come on Sabine!
 
Bartoli is a very unorthodox player. She's hitting it very well today. And her returning is amazing.
 
Lisiscki has shown great tenacity throughout Wimbledon so we should all expect a tight second set here, however the way Bartoli recovered from the opening break on her serve has been really impressive.

Bartoli demonstrating a good tennis brain too.
 
Also didn't like the use of the "bathroom break" by Lisicki. Its within the rules but it just doesn't seem right when players use it when they are under the cosh.
 
Bartoli's service motion really infuriates me, as does her excessively chunky midriff.
 
God Bartoli is ugly and so not fit. Everything she does just pisses me off more and makes me dislike her even more.
 
Lisicki has no range on her shots at all. She's regularly spooning easy shots straight out of play. Such a shame.
 
Great this is over now. feck! Why didnt she just smash it back right at Bartoli instead of lobbing her?
 
Watching this is like someone ripping my heart out, hate to see her struggling like this.
