It's been a wild ride, but this year's Wimbledon is nearing its end. The tournament has been defined by its various upsets, and the best way to illustrate that fact is the women's final, which pits No. 23 Sabine Lisicki against No. 15 Marion Bartoli.Lisicki owns the more impressive run, to be sure. She recently took down No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, 6-4, 2-6, 9-7, in the semifinals, and eliminated the No. 1 seed, Serena Williams, back in the Round of 16, 6-2, 1-6, 6-4. This year marks her first appearance in a Grand Slam quarterfinal, semifinal, and on Saturday, a final.Bartoli put together a strong tournament herself, though her path to the final wasn't as difficult as Lisicki's. What Bartoli has in her favor: the fact that she hasn't dropped a set this tournament, and the fact that she's made it to the quarterfinals and semifinals of other Grand Slam events. She's also played in the Wimbledon final previously, back in 2007 where she lost to Venus Williams.
