France’s Marion Bartoli won her first Grand Slam title with a dominant 6-1 6-4 victory over German 23rd seed Sabine Lisicki in the Wimbledon final.
Bartoli won the first set in 30 minutes as Lisicki failed to cope with the enormity of a first Grand Slam final.
The 23-year-old cut a fragile figure and was reduced to tears in the second set, helpless to prevent Bartoli from lifting the Venus Rosewater dish.
Bartoli ended with an ace, collapsing to the ground once victory was hers.
Once the stunned 15th seed arose to her feet, Bartoli celebrated becoming the first Frenchwoman in seven years to win at SW19 by climbing to the players’ box to embrace family and friends. – BBC
