It is only Bartoli's claim that her IQ is 175, according to Chris Evert.
Also, although Bartoli can turn-on the charm, she's not popular on the tour...namely because often when her opponent makes an unforced error, Bartoli sticks her fist in the air and screams "Yes!"
I played USTA tournaments and that behavior is not consistent with proper tennis etiquette on the casual court, the tournament court, or the pro court.

Spoiler: Same here...glad I didn't drop in to PP prior to watching my DVR.

Edit: ...

By her own admission, her IQ is 175 which is higher than Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Quite impressive.

She was asked about the comments regarding her high IQ by reporters following a semifinal win at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.

“I did a test when I was younger, but I’m not really someone that is really telling everyone, ‘Oh, I’m so smart.’ I’m kind of hiding it. But that’s how I am, you know. It just comes naturally. That’s how I was born with.”
