i didn't know that it is a game and really couldn't believe it when i read about this. but renting a chateau for 50 mio dollars was that much unrealistiv that i thought it must be fake ^^

and kallur, you're right, this doesn't fit at all to the idea of Daniela's character we all have

Now about Bartoli... I don't like her at all and I think that a 1st round loss at RG is what she should expect (honestly, this is her real level). She's a very unfriendly person too.
BUT don't forget that, as a player in the top 50, she works as hard as anybody else even if she isn't as talented as many others... And as everyone else she is 100% for tennis.
I think that rooting against someone who puts effort into things is wrong.

Probably nobody among us has ever put that much effort into a single thing, but I am sure you know how frustrating the lack of success can be... imagine how hard it must be for someone who has only tennis in her life

Thats what i was trying to say Albi. Read my previous posts. I think its not right to take chunks out of someone like that. As tennis players have said about 20 million times it can be lonely on tour and if your putting 100% in and someone is putting you down that can be really disheartening. Im not a fan of Bartoli myself but i dont go around cursing her and hoping that she looses. Have a little more respect people please. If you have negative opinions about someone, try keeping them to yourself because your likely going to upset people like myself and Albi. Im shure there are Bartoli fans here on this very forum but if you start saying mean things about her your gonna push people away and thats gonna hurt this community we have. Just be a little bit fair please. No flames.

If we had good rep on this forum, I would give you guys some. Great posts, couldn't say it better myself. Don't cheer against players. Root for players to win, not for players to lose.

Thanks Christina. Im glad you understand the issue. I dont want to sound like a pain everyone but if we could try and keep the bad language down aswell. Its not a big issue but it would make this forum more friendly. My concern is of the friendlyness of this forum and not of my own personal issue. It works towards making this forum the best lol i feel like a real nag now . Its all good. Thankyou.

Don't forget Marion said that their best friends on the tour are Camille Pin, Shahar Peer and... Daniela Hantuchova.
And don't forget either that Marion has a right wrist pain for several months.

Sorry couldnt follow the drama! what happened in here exactly?

I started laughing cause Marion Bartoli lost some match, cant even remember which one it was and it kicked off this massive debate about it all.

As for my comments, I completely understand everyones sentiments about the Bartoli issue. I wouldnt say that I hope Bartoli loses all the time, I just strongly feel that she doesnt deserve to be in the top 10 and results such as the 1st round and 2nd round defeats at Roland Garros and Birmingham respectively I feel proves my point.

Lets just be fair and dont flame other players as for others might like that player and we will only drive them away if the see there fav players being laughed at or wishing they lost.
Well, if they are Shazza fans it's probably better.
