Commentators even speculated that the match
will finish in less than 20 minutes. But out of nowhere Vinci at age 32 has
proven them wrong.
The 2-hour grueling game has made Serena very emotional that
she even threw her tennis racquet away with shouting bouts that obviously
expressed her frustration and disbelief. While on the other side of the court
spectators witnessed the laughter and joy painted all over Vinci’s face. She
truly enjoyed this match while playing hard.
Right after the
semi-finals match Serena hurried back to the dugout while Vinci remain seated
and still in shock when it was announced that she won the game.

In an interview
after the match Roberta Vinci was asked if she has any foresight that she could win the
game the humble Italian tennis player replied back by saying “No…”. Roberta
Vinci shared that she have 3 things on her mind- get the ball on the court, run
and just don’t think that Serena is on the other side of the court. Her formula
truly worked and now on her way to the women’s US Open Finals tomorrow.
Another
history is bound to happen at the US Open finals for the women- it’s going to
be an Italian player versus another Italian.
