Bartoli needed a good start in 2008.
She's now 3-5, including three 1st round exits.

She needs to step up big time before May-Wimbledon (where she has earned 1205 tps during that time, last year).

I'm sure you can get out of this slump soon. Oh well, at least you're in the top 10 and have a Grand Slam final to your name right now. ;)

Bad loss for Marion. Her bad form is continuing and her year sucks so far (apart from the Paris SF)

lol, Schiavone served only 39% first serve in the first set and still won 6-1!!!

Marion :sad:
Get yourself together, girl
12 errors to Francessca's 2 in the first set :eek:
There was also that bit of choking in the second set.
Hopefully you will be back to your old self soon.

Oh lord, Marion, you're awful. Good luck at wimby.

Franny is one of my favs, and she beat one of my least favs. But the score is hard to tell how the match actually went.

Grats Schiavone!!!

Marion's ranking will plummet in the next few months. Won't be seeded at US Open.
