French No. 1 Marion Bartoli said she needed a break from tennis after suffering a demoralizing first-round exit.
"I'm just fed up. I'm going to turn off my mobile phone, turn off my TV set, forget about Roland Garros," the ninth-seeded Bartoli told reporters after her 6-7, 6-3, 6-2 defeat at the hands of Australian Casey Dellacqua.
"I'm going to try not to think about it. Go far away, very far away. Why not take a short break, some holidays?"
Bartoli, who reached the Wimbledon final last year, said she was too worn out to start her preparation for the grasscourt grand slam that brought her to prominence.
