Final 2 points re Bartoli
I agree with you about Bartoli's serve being key. Thing is it seems to go through a lot of subtle changes. I think her father is a tinkerer which mightn't always be a good thing.
To drag the conversation down a bit re the female body and tennis players if I didn't dislike her Bartoli is actually a body type I prefer woman wise and I wouldn't throw her out of bed for eating croissants
. I'm not sure what Freud would have to say about all that mental baggage but make of that what you will
