Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli kicked off a pre-season football friendly on Saturday, dressed in a red mini-skirt and killer heels.

Following her win over Lisicki, Bartoli has put in other appearances - like at Novak Djokovic Foundation's London gala dinner last week - where she has been dressed impeccably.
These appearances come on the heels of BBC's John Inverdale's sexist comments that Bartoli was "never going to be a looker" after her final win.
