Bartoli beats Stephens in Wimbledon quarterfinals TUESDAY, JULY 02, 2013 /BY AP
LONDON -- Marion Bartoli of France eliminated the last U.S. player at Wimbledon on Tuesday, reaching her third Grand Slam semifinal by beating Sloane Stephens 6-4, 7-5 in a rain-interrupted, break-filled match.
The 15th-seeded Bartoli, the 2007 runner-up at the All England Club, was leading 5-4 with Stephens serving at deuce when they resumed after a 2½-hour rain delay. Bartoli won the next two points, the latter a 27-stroke exchange, to take the opening set.
That began a stretch in which Bartoli broke Stephens five consecutive times, four at love. After Stephens broke to get within 5-4, then held to 5-all, Bartoli took the last two games, including yet another break at love to end the quarterfinal.
In Thursday's semifinals, Bartoli faces 20th-seeded Kirsten Flipkens, who defeated 2011 Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova.
Come on Marion!

Bartoli, 28, had looked similarly thrilled a couple of hours earlier when she completed a far more comprehensive win over Flipkens. The Belgian 20th seed struggled to find any rhythm and dropped serve immediately, finally getting on the board with a hold after 16 minutes to trail 3-1. Bartoli was well and truly in command though, and she broke once again with a terrific game that included a winning lob, a pass down the line and a thumping drive volley. An ace out wide wrapped up the set in just 27 minutes and the Frenchwoman's dream start continued with a stunning lob to break at the start of the second. When the rampant Bartoli broke once again for 3-0, Flipkens called for the trainer and took a medical timeout for a knee problem. There was a flicker of hope for the Belgian on the resumption as she got one of the breaks back, but a spectacular return winner and a seventh successful lob put Bartoli 4-1 in front. With a second Wimbledon final in sight, she held her nerve impressively to put away a smash on match point after just 62 minutes. "I just cannot believe it, I played so well," Bartoli told BBC Sport. "I think she was a bit injured. She deserves a lot of credit, but it must be hard to be injured in the semi-final at Wimbledon. "I saw the ball like a football. I hit it cleanly from the start. To play so well in the semi-final at Wimbledon is an amazing feeling." "To play so well in the semi-final at Wimbledon is an amazing feeling." Marion was outstanding! Her new coach has really put her game together! Movement ball striking net approaches the whole deal. This time Marion!

Almost 7 years ago, Marion stood on Centre Court as the runner up. Today she is the Champion! Wimbledon 2013: Marion Bartoli keen to add to first major Marion Bartoli has targeted winning more Grand Slams after her victory in the Wimbledon women's final. The Frenchwoman, 28, beat Sabine Lisicki 6-1 6-4 on Saturday to claim her first major. "I am ready for the challenge," said Bartoli. "One is pretty good for me. Even if I don't get another one, I will still be very proud of it. "But I'm going to try my hardest to get more. Now that I have one, I definitely believe I can get more of them." Bartoli, who had struggled for form coming into Wimbledon, was seeded 15th for the tournament and did not lose a set on her way to the title. Her next shot at winning a Grand Slam will be the US Open, which runs between 26 August and 9 September. "It will take me some few days to realise that I am the Wimbledon champion," said Bartoli, who is unconventionally two-handed on both sides. "Actually when I will come to realise it, I will maybe think about the US Open and getting a shot at winning over there." Bartoli will pick up £1.6m for winning Wimbledon but said she had not considered what to do with her winnings. "I don't know what I'll do with the money. A lot of it will go to taxes, but that's fine," she added.
