Ana Ivanovic vs Marion Bartoli 2011 Highlights (Indian Wells)

[RebCha93]

No match I hate more than this.

[thegreendestiny]

Lol. Marion was deliberately breaking Ana's backhand.

[xaniimax]

yes Marion yes! <3

[dyadyagaga]

Бартоли Молодец!!!

[itsjonkuo]

It doesn't look like Bartoli is hitting with her usual power and weight of shot.. she looks inefficient here.

[freshname]

@itsjonkuo Oh, yes. She does. The point is, that she had a fever and even took a medical time out. Steel sick Bartoli prooved strong against heathy Ivanovic.

[miloootic]

ana is so big lol 185 or so

[yobrocazzuto]

la bartoli è antipatica e scarsa..

[trent8002003]

Glad to see someone out there playing like Monica Seles. Marion is Marion of course but she does remind one of Monica, a lot!

[NickyNick227]

I play two-handed both sides just because my one-handed is so sloppy and erratic, two-handed helps me clean it up and I get more power behind it. I dunno if it works for the pros though, I mean I don't have a lot of reach so I have to rely on my speed....

[cherardman]

i like bartoli style is pretty cool two hands for everything lol

[kitt998]

i hate bartoli's style of play

It's surely frustrating to see Ana lost in this match. But Bartoli did play wisely by attacking on Ana's backhand side to push her away from the baseline and put her under pression to the unforced errors.

[laurenmcw]

why do they talk during the f-ing points ffs

[Kiasko]

Ana Ivanovic is a bloody giant.

[tubedude101]

@Kiasko giant? shes only 5 feet 3

[Kiasko]

@tubedude101 Where'd u get that from? Shes like 6"2.

[klotzinatorinho]

i hate double handed forehands -.-

[dikcerdas89]

ana should train her backhand more..to make it move easy like her backhand..please ana..back to top 10!!

[iNikkoJohn]

i hope she stopped dating radek. Its no good for ana. LOL

[oneilljus]

Ana's backhand was horrid in this match.. No pace on hardly any of them.

[GazMysticism]

Good on Bartoli she played the weaker side to a T

[Bragofan]

Sigh, if Ivanovic won this match she likely would have gone to the final. SHE would actually have a chance of beating Wozniacki in the final! Bartoli may have taken Wozniacki to three sets but I never truly believed she could win.

[009helloo]

Ana had sports psychologist when she won Indian Wells in 2008. It is high time to hire one again

[glory789]

Ugh. Hate this match. Ana should have won it. It was her's for the taking but blew way too many opportunities. Would have been great for womens tennis if she made the final and top 10 again, which likely would have happened if she had this match. Sport needs players like Ana and Masha at the top again.

[ChessboyJohnny]

@glory789 I know right, she threw in her own windows with that negative mentality, I literally wanted to give her a slap in the face and tell her to fucking stop whining and just play, Bartoli was ill as well, to think a final wudve meant a place in the top 10. just hurts badly, god she sucks sometimes

[Bragofan]

@ChessboyJohnny Ouch. Harsh. But I know what you mean. If only I could slap through the tv screen, a lot of players would be knocked out.

[petunia0809]

@glory789 It's been a tough road for Ana and Maria. But it was Maria who capitalized in all the opportunities. Right now she is inside the TOP 10.

[ChessboyJohnny]

@glory789 definitly, she was just not mentally there on the big points, such a waste of a good draw (smth she has done a lot this year) Hopefully she can win these kind of matches with Nigel's guidance, the match against Zvonareva was an improvement, but she needs to up her level even more against these players.

Couldn't agree more, their short-lived rivalry was also far more exciting (in more ways than one ;)) than Wozniacki and Azarenka IMO. Get the fuck back to the top Ana, where you belong!
