She is of Corsican descent ; her family is from Palneca, Corse - du - Sud. Bartoli was introduced to tennis by her medical doctor father, Walter, when she was six years old. She would practice tennis with him late at night after school on small, icy, unevenly surfaced courts which restricted free movement and influenced her playing style. When weather was sufficiently bad, they would train in an old indoor facility where there was very limited room between baseline and the wall, meaning Bartoli became adept at playing inside the baseline. He devised original training methods, such as improving hand - eye coordination by using balls of different size and color, or encouraging Marion to stay on her toes by taping tennis balls to the heels of her shoes. He drove hundreds of kilometres to tournaments while she would do her homework in the back of the car. Playing style Bartoli was known for her unorthodox and intense style of play on the court. She used two hands on both the forehand and the backhand, and was generally classed as an aggressive and hard - hitting player who played primarily from the baseline. She developed her two - handed style on the advice of her father and longtime coach, Walter Bartoli. He had seen the classic 1992 French Open final in which Monica Seles defeated Steffi Graf, and immediately was inspired to teach Seles ' technique to his daughter. Bartoli had previously had trouble with her forehand, but it improved significantly when she made the switch to two hands. Her game was based on power and she used her double - fisted strokes to create sharp angles to open up the court and preferred to take the ball very early on groundstrokes. Her serve was considered a weakness but her return of serve was considered to be her biggest weapon and she often stood well inside the baseline to receive serve, even on first serves, and managed to take advantage of break point opportunities. Bartoli was not a `` natural athlete '' so she was not a strong mover around the court and instead relied on her excellent hand - eye coordination and anticipation skills. Her style of play could be most closely compared to that of Seles, who had a strong influence on Bartoli as a young player. In a TV interview during the 2012 US Open tournament, Bartoli explained that both Seles and she are left - handed, and that she had a very weak forehand before changing to two hands. Bartoli was not a very good mover on court, a state exacerbated by her two - fisted strokes, which made her vulnerable to fast all - court players such as Agnieszka Radwańska ( whom she never beat ). Bartoli did however work on her fitness and mobility throughout her career to varying success. Bartoli was also known for her unusual serve, in which she used her wrist to generate speed. She also changed her service motion many times over the years. During the 2013 Wimbledon Championships, she had an unusual setup for serves -- no ball - bouncing, arms crossed, right wrist resting on her left thumb before the toss. Bartoli manifested unusual on - court mannerisms, such as energetically bouncing on the spot and practising racquet swings between points, and being noticeably restless during changeovers. She claimed that this was to maintain the focus needed for her intense style of play. Relationship with her father and subsequent coaches Bartoli 's father, who had no background in tennis, had years earlier retired from his career as a medical doctor to learn how to become a tennis coach and coach her to become a professional tennis player. Bartoli has denied allegations that her close relationship with her father is a public show to hide a dominating parent. She has resisted pressure to play without him, including giving up the chance to play at the Olympics in London in 2012 because she would not play in the Fed Cup without his private coaching. In February 2013 Bartoli announced that the coaching setup with her father, who had been her coach throughout her tennis career, had come to an end by mutual agreement, and stated that she would be working with physical trainer Nicolas Perrotte and former player Gabriel Urpi until she found a new coach who could take her to the next level and help her win her first Grand Slam singles title. The following month it was announced on the WTA website that Bartoli was being coached by Jana Novotná, but they cancelled the coaching arrangement after a week with the conclusion of the Indian Wells Masters tournament. Bartoli was subsequently coached by the former World No. 1 Amélie Mauresmo, under whom she won the 2013 Wimbledon Championships. Equipment Bartoli retired whilst using the Prince EXO 3 Warrior racquet. She had previously used the Prince EXO3 Black and the Prince O3 Red. All her Prince racquets were specially modified in New York to make them longer by 2.0 inches ( to 29 inches ) than standard racquets to give her better reach with her two - handed strokes. She started using the 29 inch frames in 2006 and soon won her first tournament in Auckland. For many years she had no clothing sponsor, but wore Nike. In October 2011, she signed a three - year clothing deal with Lotto. Before her breakthrough into the top 100, Bartoli was playing with a standard length Babolat racquet and she was wearing Le Coq Sportif apparel. Due to her small hands, her racquets had a very small grip size of 0. Tennis career Early years Bartoli started entering tournaments regularly at the age of 16. After a few aborted starts in 1999 and 2000, she played in the $10,000 clay events in the spring of 2001. Winning two tournaments back to back in May ( in Hatfield and Torino ) ensured that she would be given a wildcard into her first Grand Slam, the French Open, where she lost to Catalina Castaño in the first round. Bartoli also won another tournament in Koksijde, Belgium. In 2002, she received a wildcard into the Australian Open. She lost to Tina Pisnik in three sets. She then won her fourth ITF title in Columbus, Ohio. She followed that with a first - round exit at the French Open, losing in three sets to Ai Sugiyama. In the US Open where she qualified, she defeated Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, which was Bartoli 's first win over a player in the top 100. She followed that with a win over Rossana de los Ríos, before losing to fourth seed Lindsay Davenport. 2003 : US Open doubles semifinal Bartoli began 2003 by coming through the qualifying draw in the Canberra Women 's Classic to reach her first WTA semifinal, where she lost to Francesca Schiavone. At the Australian Open, where she earned her place in a Grand Slam through her ranking for the first time, she lost to 11th seed Magdalena Maleeva in the first round. She qualified for Key Biscayne and made it to the quarterfinals, after Lindsay Davenport retired in their fourth - round match due to injury. In the quarterfinal she lost to Serena Williams.

She then got to the second round of the Australian Open for the first time, losing to 22nd - seeded Patty Schnyder. In February Bartoli played at the Hyderabad Open, where she defeated Ankita Bhambri, Galina Fokina, and Mervana Jugić - Salkić to reach the semifinals, before losing to eventual champion Nicole Pratt.

Partnering compatriot Émilie Loit, she reached the semifinals of Acapulco, the quarterfinals of Indian Wells, and then Bartoli won her first WTA doubles title in Casablanca. After a forgettable singles clay - court season ( culminating in her second loss to Sugiyama at her native Grand Slam event ), she climbed back up the rankings by reaching the third round of Wimbledon ( losing to Sugiyama for the second successive Grand Slam ). She also got to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in doubles, partnering Loit for the second successive Grand Slam ( they had failed to get beyond the second round of the French Open ). Bartoli got to her third singles semifinal of the year in Cincinnati, before pulling out of her match with Lindsay Davenport with a blister on her right hand. She reached the second round of the US Open, despite being drawn against 32nd - seeded Meghann Shaughnessy in the first round. She lost to Russian Vera Dushevina in the second round. In the absence of Amélie Mauresmo and Mary Pierce due to injuries, Bartoli received her debut Fed Cup call - up for France 's semifinals against Spain. She was teamed with Loit again and helped complete a 5 -- 0 whitewash of the Spanish team. In the final against Russia, Bartoli 's and Loit 's doubles match against Myskina and Vera Zvonareva was the decisive rubber. The Russian pair won, earning the Fed Cup for Russia for the first time. As a result, Bartoli 's team leader Guy Forget resigned, and she was not chosen by the new team leader Georges Goven to play in 2005. She ended 2004 ranked world No. 41, having gone 30 -- 24 over the year.

The only match Bartoli played in the clay - court season was her straight - sets first - round loss to Shahar Pe'er at the French Open ( where she was seeded for the first time, 28th ). Her quarterfinal run at Eastbourne ( where she had to retire hurt ) led her to a career - high ranking of No. 27 at the start of Wimbledon, where she lost to Jill Craybas in the second round.

Bartoli reached her first US Open quarterfinals in 2012, where she upset fifth seed Petra Kvitová in the fourth round ( she was ultimately defeated in the quarterfinals by Maria Sharapova ) ; that performance marked a quarterfinals - or - better finish in all four Grand Slams for Bartoli. Next she reached the semifinals in Beijing, losing to Victoria Azarenka. 2013 : Wimbledon title and retirement Bartoli at the 2013 Valais Cup Bartoli started the 2013 season by participating in a new tournament, the Shenzhen Open. She was seeded second and reached the quarterfinals, where she was defeated by fifth seed Klára Zakopalová. Bartoli was seeded 11th at the Australian Open. She reached the third round, where she was defeated by the 19th seed Ekaterina Makarova. At the Open GDF Suez in Paris, Bartoli reached the quarterfinals, where she was defeated by German and eventual champion Mona Barthel. Bartoli entered her first tournament without her father acting as her coach at the Qatar Total Open, where she was seeded ninth. She lost to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the second round. At the French Open Bartoli was seeded 13th. She defeated Olga Govortsova in the first round, qualifier Mariana Duque Marino in the second, but lost to Francesca Schiavone in the third. At Wimbledon Bartoli was seeded 15th. She defeated Elina Svitolina in the first round, Christina McHale in the second, Camila Giorgi in the third, and Karin Knapp in the fourth. In the quarterfinals she defeated 17th seed Sloane Stephens, which was her first quarterfinal victory of any WTA Tour or Grand Slam event in 2013. In the semifinals she beat 20th seed Kirsten Flipkens to reach her second Wimbledon final. In the final she faced 23rd seed Sabine Lisicki, who had beaten pre-tournament favorite Serena Williams and 2012 finalist Agnieszka Radwańska en route to the final. Bartoli won the match in straight sets for her first and only Grand Slam title. She did not drop a set in the entire tournament. She also became the female player who participated in the most Grand Slam tournaments before winning one, as this was her 47th such tournament ( breaking the previous perseverance record held by Jana Novotná, at 45 ). Bartoli also competed in the mixed doubles alongside Nicholas Monroe. They lost in the first round to Santiago González and Natalie Grandin. Bartoli announced her immediate retirement from tennis during the Western & Southern Open, citing continuous and increasingly unbearable pain from injuries sustained throughout her career. At an emotional press conference, just 40 days after her Wimbledon victory, she said `` I made my dream a reality and it will stay forever with me, but now my body just ca n't cope with everything. `` I have pain everywhere after 45 minutes or an hour of play. '' In December 2013, Bartoli was chosen as the 2013 RTL Champion of Champions, ahead of Teddy Tamgho and Tony Parker, by RTL ( a French commercial radio network ). This annual sports award was inaugurated in 2008. The previous winners were Alain Bernard ( 2008 ), Sébastien Loeb ( 2009 ), Christophe Lemaitre ( 2010 ), Teddy Riner ( 2011 ) and Yannick Agnel ( 2012 ). Bartoli was chosen as the L'Équipe Champion of Champions ( France female category ) in December 2013. In 2014, Bartoli played for the Austin Aces ' inaugural season in the World TeamTennis. In March 2015, she posted a tweet hinting that she was considering a return to professional tennis, and asked her followers for their opinion. Rumours of a possible comeback circulated again in October 2017 after Bartoli was spotted training at the French Tennis Federation but were later denied by the Frenchwoman. In July 2016 she revealed that she `` feared for her life '' due to an unknown virus. However later in the month she tweeted a photo after a blood transfusion that indicated recovery was in sight. 2018 : attempted comeback In December 2017, Bartoli announced her return to the professional tour, and she stated she hoped to be back for the Miami Open in March 2018. She also played Tie Break Tens in New York City in March 2018, but, lost in the first round to Serena Williams. In June 2018, after numerous delays and setbacks, Bartoli announced she would be unable to continue her comeback plans, as a result of ongoing and continual injuries. Rivalries Bartoli vs. Azarenka Bartoli and Victoria Azarenka met 12 times since 2007. Azarenka has a head - to - head 9 -- 3 overall and 1 -- 0 in the Grand Slams. Bartoli struggled in the early rivalry, losing the first six meetings between the pair, including in the second round of the 2007 Australian Open, the final of the 2009 Brisbane International and all four matches that eventuated in 2010. Bartoli got her first win over Azarenka in Eastbourne in 2011, winning after Azarenka retired at 2 -- 6, 0 -- 2 down with injury. At the 2011 WTA Tour Championships, Bartoli qualified as a reserve for Maria Sharapova and in the only match she played, she upset Azarenka in three sets. The match had no meaning because Bartoli could not qualify for the semifinals as Sharapova had lost her two matches and Azarenka had already qualified for the semifinals. The pair met three times in 2012, with Bartoli losing two of the matches. Her victory in the Miami quarterfinals was significant though, as it snapped Azarenka 's 26 - match winning streak to start the season. Bartoli won to record what was at the time her third victory over a reigning world No. 1. Their most recent meeting was in the semifinals of the China Open with Bartoli losing in straight sets to the eventual champion Azarenka. Bartoli vs. Janković Bartoli and Jelena Janković have met nine times since 2005. Bartoli leads the head - to - head 5 -- 4 and they are tied 2 -- 2 at Grand Slams. Bartoli won their first meeting in 2005 at Auckland in three sets. Janković then won their next three meetings which included two wins at the French Open in 2006 and 2007. Bartoli won the next four, including a victory in 2007 at Wimbledon where she went on to reach the final, and a win at the 2009 Australian Open against Janković who was ranked world No. 1 at the time. Their last meeting was in 2009 in Tokyo, where Janković won comfortably in two sets.
