The thirty-year-old who quit tennis in 2013 on the heels of a
Wimbledon grand slam win that crowned her career, raised the
question of a possible comeback on her Twitter page, instead of
answering it.
"Coming back or not coming back to tennis? What do you think?
Should I?" Bartoli said.
The tweet from the Frenchwoman, who since quitting the sport
launched a line of sports fashion shoes, immediately triggered
speculation in French and English-language news media of a
possible comeback.
L'Equipe, an influential French sports newspaper, said a return
would be hard for Bartoli given her own admission that excessive
physical stress was one of the main reasons for bowing out. But
it said her age should not be an obstacle.
"Marion Bartoli has just turned 30. It's not too late to go back
to winning. Serena Williams, the boss of the circuit, continues
to rule the WTA roost at 33," said the paper.
