From my point of view:
Marion Bartoli reaching a GS final, Wimbledon.
I wonder what 2008 holds for her?
That was the only tournament that she 'stood out' to me. The rest of the year - what did she do? 
Well I for one didn't expect her to get to a GS final, perhaps you did?
Yes the rest of the year she didn't do much, but hey it was one hell of a suprise to me that she got to GS final........
After seeing her play last year (2006), I didn't think her capable of getting past a round or two. Seeing her make the final was a bit of shock to me as well.
