Tennis: Reigning Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli, who had surprised everybody by announcing her retirement a month after winning Wimbledon, does not regret and has no plans to comeback.
Even though Bartoli won Wimbledon, but she was not able to win French Open, her home Grand Slam, which is going on nowadays. The French player was asked, if she has any plans to comeback. And she had following to say.
''Everybody I meet says two things,' Bartoli said. 'They say, 'Bravo, Marion!' And then, 'When are you coming back?' They have all tried to convince me, but I know what I'm doing. I don't change my mind. When I'm on my track, nothing can stop me. And I have really, really, really no regrets.'
'I have not regretted it one single day since I made the decision,' she said. 'There's not been a single day that I got up in the morning or a single moment during the day when I thought perhaps this was not the right choice.'
She then repeated the French word 'jamais' five times. It means 'never.'
'I didn't react more because for me, it served no purpose; it would only have fed the controversy,' Bartoli said. 'For me, what mattered most was that I had my joy, my joy to have won the tournament I'd been waiting for 20 years to win. That's all that counted. When I woke up every morning, I had the sun shining on my trophy in front of me. That was happiness. The rest I could have cared less.'
When she announced her announcement last year, even Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray were surprised.
