Bartoli is obviously a more gifted athlete than anyone on here, is intelligent and multilingual, has a fortune. Sure, snipe away at all. You're all such superior beings.

At least we're thinner and better looking.

Well, to be fair . . . the topic at hand was tennis.
As it is, I don't myself have any higher opinion of running as a professional "sport." As far as I'm concerned, sitting on one's ass, watching a sport on television, or "following" a sport generally, is for 12-year-olds.

i'm calling BS on this
Why not?
Einstein's IQ wasn't even tested I believe. He, like Leonardo da Vinci and a number of other famous people, have estimated IQs.

Bartodi is definitely very fat. Her nipples are always hard. I would never date her. She is just very fatty.
What do nipples have to do with this? Do you hate nipples?
I saw her in post-match studio interview, all cleaned up with her hair down. She looked pretty good.
Women's tennis is a joke. It's an outrage that they are 'given' the same prize money as the men.
Bartoli - FAT!
Sexist gaffe by announcer

Dude, learn how to use a f*cking quotation mark correctly! God damn! You're doing it wrong, over and over again.
Einstein's IQ wasn't outstandingly high.
A high IQ is often associated with depression, isolation, obsession and insomnia and anti-antisemitism in the case of Bobby Fischer (187 IQ).
Hawking said “I don't know what my IQ is. People who gloat about their IQ's are losers”.
She would never have reached the finals if she didn't have her game delayed against the American. It will be the LAST major she wins.

Actually, I am not.
It is well known that men with high IQ's have the small packages.
Asia for example.

Most women tennis pros are in great shape. Serena, Maria and Vika spend far more time working out than the misogynist runners who post on here. The top hundred men players are among the fittest athletes on the planet.
Tennis is MUCH more skill-based than physical. Pete Sampras has worked out VERY little during the last 9 or so years since he retired and he would destroy a very fit olympian runner that plays tennis for fun. It is skill.
Mardy Fish used to be a fatty but was still a top 40 guy when he was 30 pounds overweight. He proceeded to lose the extra tire and cracked the top 10.
Agassi was terribly out of shape and was still amongst the top 200 players in the world by ranking. For example, he apparently could only bench 135 pounds at this low point.
The girls will be in worse shape than the men due to lesser competition.

No, she's gifted with good hand eye coordination.
So what if she is multilingual. A lot of Africans, Asians, and Europeans are multilingual. I am but big whoop.
Who cares if she has money; the amount of money somebody has doesn't determine their worth. A lot of NHS researchers make below 100 K but are, in my view, adding much more to society than some athlete.
I DO like Marion Bartoli but let's stop saying stupid things like saying that a skill-based sport like tennis has more in shape people than sports that are 99.99% physical. (running)
Also, her IQ score was most likely inflated; the media likes to blow things out of proportion. She may be smart, but she isn't using it in her daily life. You don't need to be a rocket scientist or even a HS graduate to be a darn tennis player. It's what you make of what you got that matters.

IQ doesn't measure everything, or all those droll, never had an original idea Phd's and people from E. Asia who are supposedly so smart would be coming up with world changing ideas every day.

You're an idiot to be so disrespectful to the conditioning these women go through to reach that level.
Tennis is an absurd "sport." At the professional level, doping is rampant, on both the men's and women's side, and anybody who would spend a moment of their allotted time in life watching it is a moron-and-a-half.
In my opinion, anyhow.
Please let us know what sport doesn't have doping, so we can all spend our time watching it and being really smart and happy like you seem to be.

Yeah, I don't know if people were this bitter in the old days or not. Or if the internet just reinforces and strengthens emotions they would have let slide in the past.
