Is Marion Bartoli fat?

[flyinghippos101]

She's got more weight than a professional tennis player should....so does safina.

but more importantly, I'm watching her match right now and her shriek when she hits the ball is driving me insane. I really really like kim clijsters but I don't think I can handle listening to Bartoli hit the ball anymore. EEEK!! EEEK!!! EEEEK!!! EEEEK!!! EEEEK!!!

AHHHHH!! Plus, she's very unattractive..and I repeat, her shriek is mind numbing.

On the subject of unattractive women, Wonziack upsetted Mauresmo today.

GO CANADA

+1, her "grunts" sounds like a poodle humping their owner's leg for a treat

xD Very good observation

Kinda bitter and spiteful eh?

You have a little junk in the trunk and dont like it?

i could easily say the same thing about you. You are just being a huge knob since most women on the tour arent over weight.

i just turned on the match and the woman commentator is very irratating too

I was watching her 1st round match today, and she can really hit the ball hard, although her serve motion is so weird... She has O.K. movement compared to the rest of the WTA. However, she appeared obese to me! Is she grossly overweight, or is she just strangely muscular but looks fat?

This was discuss a few years ago; but her dad said that when she did loose weigh; she could not function as well in terms of power. Sound strange since she could just strength train for muscle.

She needs the weigh for her ground strokes!

That the reason give for her excessive weigh and all!

On the other end of the spectrum there's Daniela Hantuchova who continues to look anorexic. If she added 5-10 lbs (but no more) Daniela would probably be contending for slams

Indeed, I saw her up close and she looks like she has an eating disorder or has been neglected food. Very skinny.

Hantuchova has undergone a very slow physical change, she actually used to be a little heavier, not in a bad way either. Now she does indeed look very skinny, she used to have some muscle tone and just some more curves to her body, but she has dropped weight and it shows. I agree, a little more muscle would serve her well, and a little more grit mentally to.

she looks like before when she reach Wimbledon final but recently reduce it but still doesn't look fit as other top 10.

I thought I heard somewhere her crazy doctor father wants her to keep weight on so that she can get more body weight moving through her shots

TBO Im not bitter or spiteful and there are not alot of obese players on the WTA.

However

There are more than a few players on the WTA can be clinically classified as overweight which I think is disgraceful to themselves as professional athletes and to the sport of tennis. The sheer number of overweight players on the WTA is not helping its image by any means and these days the reasons to discredit and discourage fans from embracing the WTA seem to be piling up faster than a stack of pancakes at Bartoli's breakfast table.

She's got more weight than a professional tennis player should....so does safina.

Safina does have a little beer belly/pouch going on, but that is acceptable because the fat distribution might be due to genetics since the rest of her body is toned to the max. She has swimmer's shoulders.

Bartoli on the other hand can't claim genetics as a defence. She is chubby all over, indicating laziness.

I think it is disgraceful to appear on court looking like this. Sure she is not fat for normal people standards but for a professional tennis player she is hugh. Looking at the Clijsters match we could see the result, she can't even play 2 good sets in a row. She got tired and had to fake an injury and stall by challenging obviously correct decisions by the linesman only to be able to continue the match. Being overweight is never a good thing in tennis, maybe she has convinced herself that she plays better with the weight, but it is only in her head. If she just trains her muscles she should be able to hit the balls with the same amount of power. Either this or she just does not have any talent and should quit.
The fact that women like Bartoli are overweight is the main reason why I am for best of 5 set matches in WTA, Bartoli wouldn't even make it past the first round in this condition.

 

[Harry_Wild]

I saw some of the photos at previous tournaments and there a quite a few ladies that seem overweight! It just that they eat junk food because it is convenient and cheap.

 

[tennis24]

Bartoli isn't fat she's just a little overweight. She may seem fat to some people but she's more chunky then overly fat. As they same the fatter they are, the more cushin for the pushin.

being overweight is the same as being fat

 

[christos_liaskos]

Clearly not everyone in this thread agrees but i'm siding with the majority - Bartoli does seem to have been having a bit too much Bertoli to me (Bertoli is a brand of margarine here in the UK for those of you that dont know)
