Marion Bartoli may have quirks, but her game is top-notch

• Lacey Greenville, SC: As Wimbledon comes to a close, I want to give ESPN huge kudos for continuing to stream multiple courts on watchESPN.com. I've been able to actually see the much-discussed Taylor Townsend play (great game, great personality!) and I even had the time to stream women's invitational doubles with some hacks named Navratilova and Shriver. Absolutely hilarious stuff from those two, from Pam mock-diving after a volley about three seconds after it hit the ground to their simultaneous incredulous reactions when they got a call they didn't agree with. Juniors matches, doubles matches and special events are the kinds of things that tennis fans don't get to see unless they have the privilege of attending a major event.
