LONDON (Reuters) - Ninth seed Marion Bartoli said that throwing her parents out of court helped her fight back to beat Flavia Pennetta in a gruelling third-round clash at Wimbledon on Saturday.
The excitable Frenchwoman, runner up at Wimbledon in 2007, lost the first set 7-5 and immediately gestured furiously for her mother and father, who is also her coach, to leave the viewing area in Court 14.
The move had the desired effect as she won the next two sets 6-4 9-7 - the decider after she was 5-3 down - to set up a last-16 clash with holder Serena Williams.
"I was so tired and exhausted that really I had to express my emotions somehow," she said when asked about the unusual development.
"I needed to get that frustration out so I showed it that way. I could have broken a racket or thrown a bag or something. I normally never act like that but I felt at this point I had to get all this frustration out and start again."
Bartoli, who saved three match points en route to beating Lourdes Dominguez Lino in the second round on Thursday, said there were no hard feelings when the family linked up afterwards.
"I saw them after the match and they understood completely," she said.
"It was not against them. It was just that we played a very long first set and I was exhausted and I was tired and I was feeling worse and worse.
"My dad told me he watched from the TV and he said it was the best match he ever saw me play at Wimbledon."

Na Li is doing the same thing with her husband almost every match, but in a nicer manner (they have some kind of deal regarding this) - she looks at him in a certain way and he knows he has to leave and come back later

Bartoli looks like one of those bitches that hits her husband and gets away with it. She is cruising for a bruising with her antics on the court.

There could be a psychological negative to having the added pressure of someone you don't want seeing you perform poorly there. It adds even more pressure. At the same time if you are focused on that then you aren't fully focused on your game.

That is unless that person or persons are yelling at you as to what you are doing wrong or other distractions.

All in all though most of these ten is players male or female seem to be prima donnas.

Bartoli takes down the gorilla.

i think bartoli's g was too far up her a$$ during the match, that's why she was mad.
