Marion Bartoli Of France Silences Sexist Haters & Wins Wimbledon Women Singles Title!!!

Marion Bartoli of France destroyed German Sabine Lisicki 6-1 6-4 in the Wimbledon women’s final. The media and the Centre Court crowd at Wimbledon wanted Lisicki to win because she’s considered attractive. The British press had hoped Lisicki would win and make her women’s tennis new star. However, Bartoli a former Wimbledon finalist from 2007, was determined and focused. Bartoli was solid mentally she attacked Lisicki’s weak backhand, and she attacked the net. Bartoli also robbed Lisicki of time hitting the ball on the rise.

A lot of people on the internet have made fun of Marion Bartoli’s body because she doesn’t look like the stereotype female tennis player. Since Bartoli is big boned, she doesn’t have the trim, slim, athletic body that the media and the general society prefers for female athletes. A BBC commentator even mocked Bartoli’s looks saying she’s not pretty and the BBC was forced to apologize for the sexism of the reporter.

The media are extremely sexist, they focused all the attention on Lisicki while ignoring Bartoli. Bartoli is a former top ten player she’s been around for a long time. Bartoli seized her moment she refused to lose and I credit her for having the breakthrough in her career.

Bartoli showed the world that winning a grand slam is not just about raw power it is about using tactics, strategy, and having mental toughness. Sabine Lisicki is a talented young player, but she’s also extremely mentally weak. Lisicki cried during points and that’s not professional during a Wimbledon final.
