Marion Bartoli to pursue 'childhood passion' of classical ballet post-retirement from tennis

Wimbledon Champion Marion Bartoli has expressed her desire to go back to one of her childhood passions of classical ballet, now that she will no longer play tennis.

According to tennisworldusa.org, Bartoli revealed that there were things outside of sport that she wanted to enjoy, adding that she did classical ballet for eight years when she was younger.

Meanwhile, the Wimbledon champion also said that it took something special to be someone like Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin or Elena Dementieva and it depended on every individual, when they wanted to retire, adding that for her it was 28.

Bartoli further said that she would go to some museums and galleries and could still go on court and hit some balls, if not professionally.
