Marion Bartoli Retires from Tennis in Shock Announcement

In a stunning announcement, recently crowned Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli has announced that she is retiring from tennis.

Bartoli broke the news on Wednesday evening after being defeated at the Cincinnati Open by Simona Halep. She lost the second round encounter 6-3, 4-6, 1-6.

The seventh ranked player in the world put the retirement announcement down to playing with increased pain.

“I have pain everywhere after 45 minutes or an hour of play. It’s just body wise I just can’t do it anymore.”

She added, “Everyone will remember my Wimbledon title. No one will remember the last match I played here. That was probably the last little bit of something that was left inside me.”

Her retirement starts with immediate effect and she will not be contesting the US Open or any remaining tournaments.

GREAT SCOT! British Drought Ends – Andy Murray Wins Wimbledon

Click here to discuss the Murray/Djokovic Final with fellow tennis fans.

Seventy-seven years after Fred Perry last brought the men’s title home, and 36 years since Virginia Wade did it, Great Britain has a home-grown champion at Wimbledon. Andy Murray beat the Serbian Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4, to take the trophy he has long been pressured over. It was a hard-fought match, and while a straight-sets affair, it took over 3 hours to complete.

Djokovic did not look at his best today, perhaps suffering a bit mentally, if not physically, from his longest-ever semifinal match against Juan Martin Del Potro on Friday. Murray, however, seemed determined from the start to finally bring the title home, and get the monkey, and the press, off his back. The last game, with Murray serving for it was especially dramatic, with Djokovic fighting back from 0-40 to have a couple of break points. When the Scot finally closed it out, the collective cheer of a nation may well have been audible from France.

Bryan Brothers Making (and Chasing) History Win Wimbledon 2013

Mike and Bob Bryan became the first professional doubles team to hold all four Grand Slam titles simultaneously, beating Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. This is their third Wimbledon win, and 35th Major trophy. In addition to holding all the Majors, the Bryan’s won the Olympic Gold here in London last year. The last time any player or team held all those titles at once was Steffi Graf in 1988. Graf won the actual Grand Slam, the calendar Slam, that year, which the Bryan’s can do, if they win the US Open this year.

Chest-bump, Bob and Mike!

Marion Bartoli Wins 2013 Women’s Wimbledon Final

Click here to discuss the Bartoli/Lisicki Final with fellow tennis fans.

[divider]

Marion Bartoli of France is one of the quirkiest players on the tour. Her serve is awkward to watch, she hits two-handed on both sides, and has too many on-court ticks to mention. Perhaps it is fitting that she was the last woman standing at this very odd Wimbledon, beating Germany’s Sabine Lisicki 6-1, 6-4.

It was by no means a classic match, but Bartoli, the veteran of one other Wimbledon final, played her game and mostly held her nerve, while Lisicki never found either. Bartoli’s straight-sets win made her only the 6th player in the Open Era to win The Championships without dropping a set.

Bartoli was long coached by her father, Walter, who was in the stands today, but they recently decided it was time for her to move on, and the change seems to have done her good. She appears much more relaxed on and off the court, and plays like she’s actually enjoying herself.

Lisicki had a hard road to the final, having to upset the #1 and #4 seeds, and it seemed to have taken a toll. This was Sabine’s first Grand Slam final, and she admitted that her nerves got the better of her. However, at 23, and with a powerful game and serve, one hopes it’s not her last.
