The eccentric figure of Marion Bartoli will play in the women's final on Saturday after demolishing Kirsten Flipkens 6-1, 6-2.
Women's matches of three sets can sometimes fly by and this was one of them: all over in 62 minutes.
Bartoli is noted for her double-fisted forehand, slinging serve and shadow play in between points. She is playing these days without her father, who once gave up his career as a doctor to coach her – and suffered the indignation two Wimbledons ago of being banished from the court because he was upsetting her. He would have been proud of yesterday’s performance.
