Marion gets to the semifinals to surprise everybody.
After all the upsets we have experienced in Wimbledon we ere expecting Sloane Stephens to fill the gap, but once again a surprise came through as a very good Marion Bartoli reaches the final four.
The match wasn’t a great one with Marion blasting only 6 winners in the entire match (12 unforced error) and Slone committing 19 unforced errors (21 winners). The second set was quite strange (I would say a disaster) as Sloane Stephens lost the service 5 times and Marion Bartoli 4, but that was good enough for the Frenchwoman.
From Stephens
An upset Sloane commented “My serve let me down in the second set. I am disappointed with the way things went today but I am definitely moving forward, and reaching the quarter-finals is a good result. A lot of people didn’t make the quarter finals.”
Next vs Flipkens
Marion will play Kirsten Flipkens in the semifinal as the Belgian has defeated Petra Kvitova 4-6 6-3 6-4. This is the first time these two are playing each other.
