NEW YORK — Marion Bartoli said she was not allowed visitors during while hospitalized for weeks this summer due to a mystery virus. Nor a cell phone.
“So tired, I was just not allowed to have any contact,” the retired 2013 Wimbledon champion said. “My heart was beating so slowly.”
Twenty-eight beats per minute at one point.
Bartoli was hospitalized in Italy shortly after covering Wimbledon for TV networks in July. She revealed at the tournament that she had contracted a mystery virus, likely in February while traveling from Australia to New York to India to France.
