Bartoli takes women's Wimbledon title

A tearful Sabine Lisicki suffered a harrowing case of stage fright as she gift-wrapped the Wimbledon title for France’s Marion Bartoli.

Lisicki had gained huge admiration for the way she beat last year’s champion Serena Williams earlier in the tournament, but today she pushed the self-destruct button in her first grand slam final, losing to 15th seed Bartoli 6-1 6-4 after an hour and 21 minutes on Centre Court.
