Marion Bartoli says she can “even now contend with the best on the planet” as she gets ready to come back to the WTA visit. Bartoli, who resigned from tennis out of 2013, reported on Tuesday that she would make a rebound.
The Frenchwoman said she would not play occasions until the point that she is “completely prepared” but rather “can hardly wait” to return. “I think at 33 you can in any case perform on the tennis court for a long while,” Bartoli revealed to news.
“I think Serena and Venus Williams are the ideal illustration.
“Venus has possessed the capacity to play two Grand Slam finals this year, Serena is returning one year from now and I think they both say they need to play up until the point that the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020 so I believe I’m certainly not very old for that.”
Venus, the more established of the Williams sisters at 37, is at present positioned fifth on the planet, 15 years after she achieved a vocation high of number one. She played in the current year’s WTA Finals out of the blue since 2010, losing in the last to Caroline Wozniacki, and topped the prize cash list for the year.
Serena won the current year’s Australian Open – her 23rd Grand Slam singles title – at 36 years old, while pregnant, and has entered the 2018 competition, subsequent to bringing forth a little girl in September.
‘I can’t contrast myself with Clijsters’
Bartoli crushed Germany’s Sabine Lisicki to win her sole Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2013, yet quit the game under a month and a half later, refering to determined damage issues.
She said she had addressed previous world number one Kim Clijsters before declaring her rebound.
Clijsters resigned from tennis out of 2007 however won two US Opens (2009 and 2010) and an Australian Open (2011) subsequent to coming back to the game.
“I addressed Kim a lot about it in light of the fact that clearly when she returned she could win Grand Slams,” said Bartoli.
“I clearly can’t contrast myself with Kim, she has been a greatly improved player than myself and she was physically significantly more skilled.
“She explained to me that the process is very important and I very much feel that way as well.
“I love also spending time in the gym every day to get fitter, stronger and faster. I know I have a long way to go but I’m very excited about it.
“Of course I won’t play the same schedule when I was 18 or 20 years of age when I used to play 25-30 events a year.”
