Marion Bartoli Wins Wimbledon 2013 Defeats Sabine Lisicki

One of the strangest Wimbledons produced one of his most eccentric champions Marion Bartoli, the winner of an error-filled finale that left overwhelmed runner-up in near tears during the game.

Bartoli, whose power play Sabine Lisicki upset as much as any of its notorious eccentricities, won 6-1, 6-4 Saturday to capture her first Grand Slam title in his 47th appearance at a major tournament.

"I dreamed of this moment for so long," said Bartoli during her interview on the court.

She addressed Lisicki, who was shaking and in tears when she received the runner-up trophy.

"I was there in 2007 and I missed it," said Bartoli, the runner-up to Venus Williams this year. "I know how it feels, Sabine, and I'm sure you will be there once again more. I have no doubt about it. "

Indeed, the 15th-seeded Bartoli played the role of the experienced former fighter. After losing Serve with a pair of double faults in the first game, she checked 11 of the next 12.

The 23rd-seeded trailed Lisicki 5-1, 40-15 in the second set, then came up with a collection of nowhere - unexpected considering it was almost crying on the minutes of the court more earlier.

"I was just overwhelmed by the whole situation, but the credit for Marion," said Lisicki. "She has been in this situation before and handled it well."

Lisicki saved three match points and then pulled within 5-4.

But after a tense passage Bartoli served the match out of love, falling to his knees after hitting an ace on match point, then the climbing wall in the box players celebrate 2006 Wimbledon champion Amélie Mauresmo - the last French to win a Grand Slam title - and his friends and family.

"Maybe a backhand winner, but just not an ace," Bartoli when asked how she imagined she could close her first Wimbledon title. "I practiced my service for so long. At least I saved the best time."
