You’ve a very bad habit Peter of putting words in my mouth. I’m not sure where you feel I implied she was either a heroine or a hooker. If I said she sucks cock for a living with sailors and legionnaires fair enough but otherwise all you should take from what I said is that I don’t like her.
For your information she was never a Wimbeldon heroine to me. I took a pounding on her against Dementieva although I have backed her recently and clawed back some of that. I do think she is a freak SLAM finalist and I’m willing to lay you decent money that she will never make another. I’ll lay you €50 at 10/1 if you are game. I’d say well done to her for her final appearance and if you go back to the Wimbeldon thread you will probably see I did say that. One swallow does not make a summer anywhere however and I think she is a flash in the pan in terms of the top 10. I also stand over my comments regarding her behaviour. She verbally abused the linesman in Luxembourg and her gamesmanship and slow playing grates. Abusing someone from a position of power who cannot answer back ranks low on the barometer of personal behaviour for me.
Comments I made regarding her weight and conditioning I would also stand over. My loss coloured my words but she is in my view overweight and her litany of injuries would support this which is not helped by a crazy schedule.
I would also say that if you can watch a Bartoli match and see hr going behind that she is definitely a player to get on the other side of – her body language is abysmal – biggest in running win of the year was in backing Yuan in Toronto when Bartoli had a look that would have turned milk sour having lost the first set.

True – hearsay won’t stand up in court. It is a matter of record that she said other players were out to get her and that she felt she had a target on her back. Persecution complex? Moi?
I would agree that she has had a brilliant season probably her best yet with Wimbeldon - although it should also be pointed out that she won nothing when she managed 3 event wins last year
