Félicitations to the new French women's singles champion of Wimbledon, the astonishing Marion Bartoli! Watched the match live on the BBC, and before the match none of the pundits, not even John McEnroe - who always likes the idiosyncratic players - thought she could go all the way.
Well, she proved everyone wrong, didn't she, with near-flawless control, clear-thinking and the sheer sweeping strength of her shots. A style all of her own, a little ungainly sometimes, but it got the job done.

I love seeing an underdog win. Well, unless I bet on the favorite. ;-]
i dont normally watch the womens tennis but it was a good match and she seems a lovely lady, well done to her.
I had never heard of her until your mention - Googled her and watched a video of her big win. Good for her! She's got the oddest playing style I've ever seen, with the two-handed backhands and forehands... but whatever works, right? It sort of looks like the racquet is moving of its own accord and she's hanging on for dear life. Maybe it's a magic racquet...
