STEFAN WERMUTH/AFP/Getty Images(LONDON) — Marion Bartoli finally has a Grand Slam to her name. Bartoli beat Sabine Lisicki in straight sets 6-1, 6-4 to take home the Wimbledon title in her 47th appearance at a major.
“I dreamed about this moment for so long,” Bartoli said during her on-court interview. “I was there in 2007 and I missed it. I know how it feels, Sabine, and I’m sure you will be there one more time. I have no doubt about it.”
Lisicki rallied back in the last set, but Bartoli was too much to overcome in the end.
“I was just overwhelmed by the whole situation, but credit to Marion,” Lisicki said. “She’s been in this situation before and handled it well.”
