The correct answer is: B. Marion Bartoli
Marion Bartoli won the 2014 Wimbledon Women’s Singles Championship, defeating Sabine Lisicki in the final. Bartoli was the first Frenchwoman to win the title since Amelie Mauresmo in 2006.
Serena Williams was the defending champion, but she lost in the fourth round to Alize Cornet. Venus Williams was also eliminated in the fourth round, losing to Tsvetana Pironkova. Petra Kvitova was the runner-up in 2011 and 2014, but she lost in the quarterfinals to Bartoli.
Bartoli was a surprise champion. She had never won a Grand Slam singles title before, and she was ranked No. 15 in the world at the time. But she played very well throughout the tournament, and she was able to defeat Lisicki in the final in straight sets.
Bartoli’s victory was a major upset, but it was also a very popular one. She was a very likable player, and she had a very emotional celebration after winning the title. Her victory was a great moment for French tennis, and it was a reminder that anything is possible in sports.
