Reigning Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli once again insisted that she’s not making any comeback plans. The speculations rose once more after she signed up for an exhibition tennis event at Liverpool scheduled before the grasscourt Slam tournament.
“It’s not going to happen,” she told British wire agency PA. “Tennis is still my passion but I have other passions.
“I’m going to be 30 years old later this year and my body is extremely tired.”
Bartoli made an unexpected exit from the professional sport last year, just less than two months after winning her maiden title at the All England Club.
“I never had the feeling of, ‘maybe I didn’t make the right decision’,” she was quoted as saying. “When I think about my tennis career it brings me pure happiness and pride, but I don’t feel I’m missing out.”
