French Final Set In Bali
Posted by gauloises1 on November 8, 2009
Marion Bartoli and Aravane Rezai are set to face off in tomorrow’s final in Bali after defeating semi-final opponents Kimiko Date-Krumm and Maria-Jose Martinez Sanchez respectively. Both have gone undefeated in the tournament so far.
It should be an interesting meeting; both are huge ball-strikers, and Marion doesn’t seem too popular with her compatriots (based on Razzano’s comments c. Eastbourne, anyway). Allez to both.

Where exactly would one find these here comments by Rezai?

It was Razzano, and I recounted them here, except I may have left out the source. Oops.

Am I correct that neither of these players are well-liked by the French Tennis officials? I know Marion and her father had issues with the federation, and I think the same may be true for Rezai?
I really wish I would have been able to watch matches during this tournament. It seems like quite a few matches have been really hard-fought and closely contested.
