Tennis: Bartoli tabs Novotna as coach

March 9, 2013 01:45
France's world No. 11 Marion Bartoli booked a third-round berth at Indian Wells on Friday and revealed she prepared under the guidance of new coaches Jana Novotna and Iwona Kuczynska. "The decision was made after the tournament in Dubai," said Bartoli. In Dubai, Bartoli said she was seeking guidance from former French great Amelie Mauresmo but would still need to find a regular coach after splitting with her father Walter, who had coached her since introducing her to the game when she was six.

Marion Bartoli believes tennis legend Amelie Mauresmo can help her achieve her biggest ambition during the remaining years of her career. The former Wimbledon finalist says major titles are more within her reach now that her fellow-Frenchwoman, who won Wimbledon and the Australian Open, is taking over from her father Walter as coach. Bartoli hopes to have Mauresmo's help at major events, whilst working with Mauresmo's former trainer Xavier Moreau on her biggest weakness, her movement and physical fitness.

Germany completed a 3-0 win over France in a Fed Cup World Group II tie here on Sunday when Julia Goerges defeated Pauline Parmentier 6-4, 6-2. The Germans had already won both of Saturday's opening singles, also in straight sets, and they will now go forward to play one of the losing teams from the top group in a promotion/relegation playoff in April. France on the other hand will need to win a play-off against one of the teams from the lower division which could be Canada, Britain, Poland, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belgium or the loser in the tie between Argentina and Sweden.
