- description: The BBC has apologised after commentator John Inverdale said Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli was "never going to be a looker". Inverdale's comments on Radio 5 live as the French player prepared to face Germany's Sabine Lisicki provoked anger from many listeners. A BBC spokesperson said: "We accept that this remark was insensitive and for that we apologise." Inverdale later said he had poked fun "in a nice way at how she looks". He added: "She is an incredible role model for people who aren't born with all the attributes of natural athletes".
