Marion Bartoli is in ferocious form on grass at the moment, and following her title success at Eastbourne last week appears to be in with a decent chance of clinching this year’s Wimbledon title. The ninth seed certainly didn’t disappoint in round one, overcoming Kristyna Pliskova in straight sets, 6-0, 6-2. More performances like this will stand her in good stead for a maiden Slam title.

Bartoli has been enjoying a relatively good season, and her match record of 36-15 for 2011 has helped her to break into the top ten. On current form, she’s one of the game’s most formidable opponents, and the switch to grass courts seems to be to her benefit. Her next challenge here at the All-England Club will be a second round meeting against Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain.

Dominguez Lino has a 1-0 match record against Bartoli, following a clay court victory in Charleston back in 2007. We can expect a different contest on grass, though Dominguez Lino has the capacity to beat Bartoli once again. The world No. 48 didn’t exactly struggle on her return to Wimbledon. In fact, she absolutely thrashed Romina Oprandi 6-0, 6-1 to set up this tie.
