Last year’s Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli may skip the 2008 Championships because of a wrist injury.
Bartoli was upset in the second round of the DFS Classic on Wednesday before hinting that she may miss the next Grand Slam.
“It’s been bothering me since before the French Open,” said Bartoli in comments published by the AP.
“I’ve been having treatment but it’s tendinitis, and there is only so much you can do for that. It seems like 2008 doesn’t want me to be in great shape. I am always having something, some illness or injury.”
It has been a disappointing 2008 season for Bartoli who said that she will skip Wimbledon “if it’s not getting better.”
“Missing a Grand Slam, especially Wimbledon, is a huge disappointment,” added the top seed in Birmingham.
After losing to Petra Cetkovska in her opening match 5-7, 6-4, 6-0, Bartoli’s 2008 match record fell to 8-14.
