Marion Bartoli Quotes






August 18, 2013: "What I'm so proud of is to see the eyes of my dad when I won. He told me, 'Marion, you can lose every single match you're going to play. I don't even care anymore. What I care for you is you get married, you find a nice husband, and that's it.' My dreams now are outside of tennis. It's different. When I'll be retired, it's to have a nice family, to have a nice husband. But tennis-wise, I achieved my dream."
— What Marion Bartoli told reporters before the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, where she announced her surprise retirement just six weeks after winning Wimbledon.
July 10, 2013: "When I started this campaign back on Court 14, if you told me I'd be in the final I would not believe you, so to hold this trophy is unthinkable. I mean, I can't still realize I just won Wimbledon. I can't realize I'm a Wimbledon champion. It's just so overwhelming."
— Marion Bartoli, who had lost to nine opponents ranked below the top 20 this year before surprising everyone, including herself, to win Wimbledon without dropping a set.
