Tennis: Razzano into Eastbourne final after Bartoli quits
Associated Press
EASTBOURNE, England — Virginie Razzano reached the Aegon International final on Friday when Marion Bartoli retired with a leg injury while trailing 6-4, 1-0.
Razzano will play sixth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki or Aleksandra Wozniak in Saturday's final.
Bartoli refused to shake hands with Razzano after pulling out of the all-French semifinal with a right quadriceps strain. Razzano had complained in a French newspaper that Bartoli often made a fuss over minor injuries to gain a mental advantage over opponents.
Bartoli broke three times in the first set but dropped serve four times. She then had her right thigh wrapped to start the second set.
