Please feel free to add any thoughts you have about this match or the tournament in the meantime.

No time to exhaustively trawl for every tuppence worth about Marion's Wimbledon chances this time, but here's a couple that caught my attention.

"Another dark horse candidate would be Marion Bartoli, a Wimbledon finalist in 2007. If she can repeat that form from a couple of years ago, she can make it to the finals again, although the odds are stacked against her. She'll have to take out a couple of no-names and then probably meet Zvonareva before running into Dementieva if she gets that far. But upsets can and do occur. If enough lucky breaks are gotten by Bartoli, she can absolutely get to the finals again, but she'll have to go through a Williams sister at a minimum if the seedings win out."

Marion Bartoli: Former finalist has a fun, quirky game that mirrors her personality. Not a real threat to win, but the quarterfinals are certainly a realistic destination.
