She was basically a challenger player last year and we shouldn´t forget that. Agnes Szavay was also a challenger player and though I believe the Hungarian to be the bigger talent, a girl who reaches a Wimbledon final in her first full year on the circuit would probably satisfy most wannabees.
My own opinion about the Bartoli game is that the serve will either make or break her WTA future. It seems to work at the moment and may even, physiologically speaking, ensure her an injury free future.
Who knows?

I agree that a coupla kilos less would make her more mobile but in the same vein, add a couple of kilos to my pet tennis subject, the Chakvetadze body, (which lacks that extra 10% power) and you have the essence of the female body waxing and waning under huge hormonal pressures. Who has the answers?
Not me.
