Bank of the West Classic
Marion Bartoli reminded tennis fans why so many were expecting so much of her. With surgeon like precision Bartoli dismantled Venus Williams the way Venus had dismantled her previous opponents. Sure Venus forced a third set but she was never really in the match. It was as if Bartoli took her by surprise with her off kilter approach to play. In the end Marion deservedly won.
The Williams sisters didn't come away empty handed though. They won the doubles crown, their first outside of a slam in a long, long time.
