Marion Bartoli doubtful for Wimbledon after losing at DFS Classic
Last year’s Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli may miss the 2008 Championships because of a wrist injury.
Top-seeded Bartoli was upset in the second round of the DFS Classis on Wednesday and after the loss she said her participation at Wimbledon 2008 is under question.
"It’s been bothering me since before the French Open," said the Frenchwoman.
"I’ve been having treatment but it’s tendinitis, and there is only so much you can do for that. It seems like 2008 doesn’t want me to be in great shape. I am always having something, some illness or injury."
Bartoli said that she will skip Wimbledon "if it’s not getting better."
"Missing a Grand Slam, especially Wimbledon, is a huge disappointment," the world No.10 added.

Ninth-seed Marion Bartoli exited her home Grand Slam in the first round as Australian Casey Dellacqua defeated her 6-7 6-3 6-2.
France’s Marion Bartoli still hasn't managed to replay her fantastic performance from Wimbledon where she was the runner-up. At the Qatar Total Open, the eighth seed lost in straight sets 6-2 6-3 to 17-year-old Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark, who is seriously making her way to the top. Wozniacki is one of the young players to watch. Taking into account her attractiveness, her fruitful tennis career is likely to be accompanied with marketing success. Actually, Wozniacki already did a 
Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli and Hungarian sensation Agnes Szavay lost in the first round of the Australian Open. I didn't expect these two members of the top 20 to leave Melbourne so early.
