Marion Bartoli may be retired, but she is certainly staying in the spotlight since retiring from tennis six months ago.

The reigning Wimbledon champion continues to keep an active schedule that includes attending last month's Australian Open. While there, she supported her good friend Dominika Cibulkova as the Slovakian reached her first ever Grand Slam final. From there, it was on to Paris where Bartoli received a special commemoration from tournament organizers at the Open GDF SUEZ event for her on-court achievements.

Bartoli continued racking up the frequent flyer miles as she flew to New York to attend last weekend's Super Bowl. Not only was Bartoli there to support the winning Seattle Seahawks, but also to promote her new fashion line of designer "wings" that are worn over shoe tops.

Check out this interview with Bartoli during Super Bowl weekend.



On Monday, Bartoli kept up the fashion theme by traveling to Bratislava where she was on hand for the launch of Dominika Cibulkova's own fashion line called "Domi."

Bartoli's stunning victory at Wimbledon followed by her abrupt retirement a few weeks later in Cincinnati last summer has prompted many to speculate the former French No. 1 might make a comeback. But that doesn't seem likely. Speaking in a pre-event webcast last week in Paris, Bartoli told WTA's Andrew Krasny that mounting injuries at the start of the 2013 season took their toll on her body. Though Bartoli said she was able to will herself to victory at Wimbledon, she simply had nothing left after her historic win.

Bartoli plans to move to New York and will likely do some tennis television commentary in the near future.
