Bartoli gets flowers from Pierce Brosnan
Marion Bartoli apparently used Brosnan as inspiration to win her semifinal match - too bad he couldn’t show up today for her.
Bartoli had stolen overnight headlines,not just because she had ushered No 1 seed Justine Henin from the premises. Blithely, she had told us that she had determined to improve her game, after losing the first set in a blur because she wished to impress Pierce Brosnan, who was watching from courtside. Bartoli invited the former 007 actor to return to SW19 yesterday.
Brosnan could not oblige as he had to attend a wedding — yet with the style associated with such a lady killer as Bond he arranged for a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to Bartoli.
“He left me flowers with a letter in my locker room,” said Bartoli. “That was really nice.” This is London
I wonder if she’ll think Pierce being at the event is her lucky charm now?
