Marion
Bartoli 'complained' that we always took pictures of
her hitting a backhand - so, always eager to please, here are
some forehands to balance our coverage.... And it's not my fault
that they don't look much different than her backhands.... It's
a good thing that she has logos on her shirt otherwise we might
have been accused of flipping pictures of her backhand to
'create' pictures of forehands....! |

And today we have time to bring you
more than the normal selection of faces from around and about
the tournament... |
