Bartoli destroys Lisicki to claim Wimbledon title

Marion Bartoli had won her maiden grand slam title at the age of 29 after crushing German Sabine Lisicki 6-1 6-4 at Wimbledon final.

Lisicki broke her opponent in the first game of the match but then she lost her composure to lose the first set 6-1 in half an hour.

At 5-1 up in the second set for the French 15th seeded, Lisicki had to save three championship points at her own serve  as she suddenly clicked into gear to break Bartoli and hold again, but an ace on her fourth match point at 5-4 gave Bartoli her first grand slam at her 47th attempt.
