Bartoli watch: I got nervous and kicked my dad off court!

The French wonder girl and alleged IQ whiz Miriam Bartoli has again made the headlines for the wrong possible reason.

While the unorthodox Frenchwoman was battling hard to overcome the fierce resistance of Flavia Pennetta, she couldn’t find a better way to let her frustration calm down than booting her dad and coach out of court.

Displaying admirable analytical capabilities she afterwards justified her unusual behaviour in the following terms:

"I don't remember exactly what I said but I think it was really clear," and went on:

“I needed to get that frustration out so I showed it that way (sic!). I could have broken a racket or thrown a bag or something (sic!)”. But instead she decided for the less harming way of kicking her dad out. How smart!

A true leader must always be able to take the most difficult decision they say!

Lovely girl, shaming her father like that.

How respectful, but then again parents are there just to be used and abused, and once they're old, frightened, lonely, one can always throw them in a residential home.

I find that quite touching emancipator.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

coooooooooooooooooooome baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

It is all darkness and despaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaair

How I'd love to have to two of them in my show!!

Gutsy win for the mercurial frenchwoman and good to see Bartoli senior back in main stand!

The dad was back??

Yeah clearly a little shaken, but he was there, the brave man

Bartoli nearly gave it away but boy was Serena amazing on those set points. Bartolli showed great mental strength to win it in the tie break. Hardly watch women tennis but this was a good match to watch.

I am still in shock for how well she played! that comedie humaine called wta never stop to amaze me with its slightly sinister fascination …….
