  1. - - BARTOLI 6-2 1-6 7-5 - GAME, SET & MATCH! Bartoli proves too good for Oprandi at the end of the day, the 11th seed sealing victory to move into the third round. Women's draw

  2. - - BARTOLI 6-2 1-6 3-2 - BREAK! Perhaps not! Oprandi recovers well to break back and get the third set back on serve.

  3. - - BARTOLI 6-2 1-6 3-1 - BREAK! The 11th seed Frenchwoman breaks to edge ahead in this deciding set. Is this where her ranking and experience comes into play?

  4. - BARTOLI 6-2 1-6 – SET! Oprandi opens with two big aces. Bartoli fires a crosscourt winner but then hits long to concede two set points. She wasted the first with a double fault but a big serve sees the Swiss take the match to a decider.

  5. - BARTOLI 6-2 1-5 – BREAK! Bartoli still a bundle of nervous energy and she tamely concedes the break with a double fault. Surely the set is all over now.

  6. - BARTOLI 6-2 1-4 – Oprandi races to 40-0 with a forehand winner and holds to 15 with a backhand volley after a deep approach.

  7. - BARTOLI 6-2 1-3 – Bartoli is under pressure at 30-30 but hangs on for a crucial hold.

  8. - BARTOLI 6-2 0-3 – Oprandi has broken through out on court 11.

  9. - BARTOLI 6-2 – SET! The 11th seed wraps up the opening set in 35 minutes of play.

  10. - BARTOLI 2-0 – The 11th seeded Frenchwoman is a break up on court 11.

  1. GREAT result for marion bartoli serving has improved­ from previous match and hitting great winners off the­ forehand and backhand in the third set still lacking­ match fitness in the second set but able to focus after­ that to start moving oprandi around the court i've­ been looking at the draw bartoli may have azarenka as­ an opponent in the fourth round if she gets passed a­ fellow french woman azarenka is ranked number 1 at the­ moment and has a good all round tennis game and is very­ fit which could cause problems for bartoli if her­ fitness dips again so i would advise bartoli to­ concentrate on her first serve which she will need to­ land in more often to stop azarenka from hitting­ winners off it onece the rally begins bartoli has the­ superior ground strokes to make point off if she­ suffers fitigue in the second set she should hit for­ the lines to make the point short the longer the match­ goes the more azarenka fitness levels will cost bartoli­ in games i noticed at wimbledon bartoli hitting ground­ strokes 2 thirds down the court azarenka will hit these­ for winners bartoli must go for the bass line in rallys­ or the side lines and be more aggresive on first serve­ try putting more hight on the serve so it bounces up at­ the azareka reture this will take pace off the ball so­ that azarenka will not be able to hit a winner off it.
