The Marionater
You've been Marionated
Bartoli... Marion Bartoli

SuperMarionation
The Marionettes
Maid Marion
It would have to be sans swords, methinks (either at Wimbledon or at any other WTA tournament). The security these days is unbelievable (and it's a lot more stringent in the areas off-limits to the public). Gone are the days when you could just talk to players ...
That was from before the final though, when there was alot of hating in GM. I think most of them realised how stupid it all was after they saw Marion in the final and her interviews/personality etc
In other words the "no one likes her" part probably isn't true anymore (I hope).
I've got a name I'd like to propose - "SuperMarionation". FYI, there was a TV show in the 60s/70s by the name of "Thunderbirds" that used a process called "supermarionation". All the cast were marionettes. Today, it is a very underappreciated show, but it is always very cool - a "cult show", if you like.
Every week, the members of International Rescue would find themselves having to rescue someone in an exotic place (didn't have to be Earth). The Tracy family were all named after astronauts - Virgil, Scott, John, Gordon, and Alan. There were a number of main support characters, including Lady Penelope:
"a female James Bond, her family motto being "Elegance, Charm and Deadly Danger". " (sums up our Mme Bartoli, don't you think???)
The Marionettes is cool.. In a camp sorta way :lol: It sounds like a 60's girlgroup ala The Ronettes, The Marvelettes, The Velvelettes, maybe we could sing Nowhere to Run nowhere to hide, to her opponents next time she's on court.... Met her on a tennis court on Saturday night, they do run run, they do run run...
gettin surreal :lol:
Anyways, forum name...
What about from Robin Hood, Maid Marion.
or Maid Marion's Muskateers
Also...
We could have an annual Marion Pride day!! Celebrate Marion and her achievements, eat candy! And it be a reminder to the tennis bullies never to poke fun at her ever again, or any other player in that way.
Maybe on the anniversary of the victory over Henin or Wimbledon finals day!
Thank you , it was about time indeed !! Apparently, reaching the top 20 was not enough, she had to be a Grand Slam finalist to have a forum while Pavlyuchenkova had already hers.
Anyway, it doesn't matter now.
Maciek, I am sure you want to be a Marionette now !
I'm not sure about Marion Revolution. It's a bit 1789 machismo. But I guess there must be a reason, meaning, why you chose Marion Revolution a few years ago?
Still, it is a proud title. And we are all very proud of her.

I just don't want the name of her forum to have something to do with food "marionated" (as in marinated) is a joke that one member made up in GM and posted that in every thread about Marion beating someone
