Marion Bartoli in Bank of the West Classic Tournament

Marion Bartoli was recently not included in Fed Cup team of France. Many fans missed her in Fed Cup. For her fans, there is another exciting opportunity to see Marion Bartoli in action in the upcoming West Classic Tournament. Serena Williams pulled herself out from West Classic Tournament because of injury.

SFGATE reported:

But there will be plenty of reasons to catch the Bank of the West, which begins Monday at Taube Family Tennis Stadium on the Stanford campus and continues through the final July 29.

One of them will be Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli, whose semifinal win over top-seeded Henin stands as one of that tournament's greatest upsets. Bartoli, who lost to Venus Williams in the title match, climbed to No. 11 in the world from a pre-Wimbledon ranking of 19.

Bartoli won the heart of thousands of fans because of her impressive performance in Wimbledon 2007. She is gentle and serious and focused. She is not so hot and sexy like Ivanovic but Bartoli has her own charm and personality.
