Serena Williams vs Roberta Vinci in a three-set epic! | US Open 2015 Semifinal 

Credit has to be given to Vinci. Imagine her nerves, nearing the end of her career and reaching the semis of the US Open against Serena! This match would have been a major achievement for her even if she hadn't won.

One of the greatest surprise of the sport. She denied Serena Williams the Gran Slam ,and did in her home.Thanks for the video,it has been a lot of time I was looking for it.

A gigantic choke from Williams but Vinci was tactically brilliant

This one has to be one of the toughest defeating in Serena's career

Vinci channeled the spirit of Graf (slice backhand and inside-out forehand) to keep Serena from matching Graf's calendar-slam.

Humble and truthful moment....I didn't expect to win when I woke up this morning....best post match interview. So humble in victory 🙌 If anyone deserved it, it's a kind hearted like her. She even got the public by her side

Whenever I feel like I can't overcome an obstancle in my life I come back to watch this match to remind me nothing is impossible. ♥

The final interview is pure joy, she looks like an amateur at her first press commitment and happy as a child. Delight!

1:24:37 The moment you are looking for. How about me guys...!!! Goosebumps moment.The best point in the entire match

Serena underestimated her opponent.

Roberta “The Grand Slam Killer” Vinci.. Amazing fight. Remember this one like yesterday..

Vinci did the impossible (in 2015) that day...incredible fight from an underdog....

I love that Vinci won the last game at Luv. Well deserved win, and my favourite match to watch when I need cheering up.

I love this Vinci.... Italy should be really proud of their female tennis players.

i love that moment at 1:15:40. Vinci doenst give a f... about serenas way overexaggerated celebration Well done to keep her cool there

Cara Roberta, alla fine siamo stati in tanti a piangere con te. Grazie per le emozioni che ci hai regalato in questa indimenticabile partita.

I‘ve watched the interview several times, but chills every time she says “best moment of my life”

I still remember this match to this day. Excellent, thanks for the upload.

The biggest achievement in Vinci's career

Serena Williams was never the same mentally after this match. It broke her spirit. I believe this defeat played in her a role in those finals she lost in Australia, and French and India wells against Azarenka. She had so many break points against Azarenka but converted just one or two. Credit to Roberta Vinci. This defeat was really hard to take.

I wished Serena had won on this After this match she only won 2 grand slams with extreme difficulty After this match she lost her INCREDIBLE mindset After this match she lost 6 grand slam finals in 2.5 years of play Before that , she almost had never lost a grand slam final

I was there. It set up the all-Italiano final Vinci vs. Flavia Pennetta the eventual champion.

It is at the end she saying "nooo" her phrases , accent and attitudes that you confirm that we argies descend from Italians . Her style was very Sabbatinish too ! Memorable , I lived it like she was the incarnation of Gaby , like she was one of our own .

Así se juega de tu a tu dos grande atletas felicidades 💕🌹a ambas bendiciones😘❤🇩🇴

Whoever bet on Roberta Vinci winning this match is now a millionaire!

Brilliant tactics by Vinci.

How is this only being uploaded now?

I am so glad Williams lost. Her attitude was horrendous.

che partita memorabile!

Wonderful match by Vinci, and a very entertaining match over all.

Vinci player of great class, that played serve@volley in a period in which already it counted power. She's never distorted. No regrets for Serena Williams: she lost against a great opponent. Mithical Roby!

I just admire this match

1:41:30 vinci starts doing that little 'eeh' and something switches in her head .. the moment she said to herself "I'm going for it I'm ending this NOW"

Upset of all upset in the last decade possibly. Serena on her way to be the first calendar slams winner since Graf, stop by Vinci to set up all Italian final with Penetta

Miss Vinci's action on court. one of the best all rounder player out there.

The moment GOAT door was shut in the face of Serena.

Competitive sport at its deadliest and most beautiful. This is why tennis is the best sport in the world. And beautiful Berta...fired by joy, running herself into the ages!

1:25:00 😂😂😂👏

Serena and Djokovic were ALMOST perfect in 2015

32:12 who thought vinci had any chance whatsoever at this point ? .. it looked like just another player about to lay down for serena ... if you had polled 100 people at that point 110 would've said vinci is done .. but wow .. that's why you play the match/game

She gave Serena some problems in Toronto a month before . Even the she won in straight sets she did struggle at times with the variations in pace and spin from Vinci she knew what to expect just didn’t have her best stuff on the day though it has to be said Vinci was immense .

Probably one of the biggest surprises in sport ...ever ...maybe the biggest along Douglas-Tyson

I love this match

So disrespectful and annoying 🤦🏻‍♂️ I was so happy for Roberta

Roberta saved tennis that day.

Undoubtedly the biggest drama queen ever on a tennis court despite all of her tennis prowess. It is exhausting to just watch her. She enacts a whole greek tragedy every five minutes. At times this has really cost her, but hey, nobody is perfect.

She broke Serena's dream of 4 grand slam in a year. 🔥🔥

One of the greatest moments in us open history.

She played a lot of tennis that year too!

What a game for Rebeka! 😍

Vous avez comprise chère amie excellente réussite

Je suis ravie et très reconnaissant

this proves that serena is just some bodybuilder

Congrats Vinci! Thanks for saving women's tennis.

Serena’s attitude during the whole match is embarrassing and unsportsmanlike like. She doesn’t appear to think she should really have to play someone of Vinci’s level. It’s hysterical how angry she gets during the second and third sets. She practically bites her own lips off. Tell me she doesn’t look seriously unhinged screaming after she makes that overhead. Vinci is the type of player kids should aspire to be like not an arrogant screamer.

Anchorman: "What are you thinking right now? Could she do this? Could she pull this off?" 1:20:29 Anchorwoman: "Oh absolutely. There's no question that Vinci can win this match." 1:41:40 TRIGGERED!!!

I wasn't actually surprised that Serena lost. I remember hearing Steffi Graf talk about just how absolutely exhausting the pressure was when she won the grand slam in 1988. When she eventually won the US Open final, she was so mentally exhausted that she didn't want to leave her hotel room. With that kind of pressure, I thought the odds were that Serena wouldn't get through.

It was a game of brain vs brawn. Serena was too eager to win the match and ended up making too much errors. Roberta played the perfect match, she use the right strategy to stifle the power game of Serena. Serena not only lacked ideas, she was more often then not caught offguard by the drops and slice of Vinci. Serena lacked footwork, looks heavy and bewildered. The harder she tried, the more mistakes she made. Roberta made Serena looked old.

1:25:05❤️

One of the reasons Steffi Graf is the GOAT.

What has been underestimated about Vinci's performance in this match is the way she consistently put Serena in positions where she had to hit the ball back to where Vinci was at the net waiting for it. Another factor which has been overlooked is that after winning the career grand slam in doubles Vinci and Errani split up their doubles partnership to concentrate on singles. Vinci had been working on her singles game for most of 2015. After defeating Williams she rose to number 7 in the world by defeating Belinda Bencic (a former Olympic gold medal winner in siingles) in a WTA tournament in St Petersburg. She became the oldest woman to debut in the top ten with that victory. So Vinci was a much better player than she gets credit for.

Roberta Vinci jogando extremamente bem e os narradores só sabiam falar o nome da Serena. Que falta de imparcialidade para narrar! Ridículo...

This is the most historically important match in women’s tennis as it prevented Serena from capturing the calendar year Grand Slam, a distinction only shared by Steffi Graf, Margaret Court and Maureen Connoly

Shame Serena didn't clinch this US Open GS. This would've been a crucial one for legacy building. 2012-2015 was a terrific run for her. She needs a change in her fitness and perhaps her team to reach two more GS wins.

Vinci showed great heart

Sin duda serena la tendra precente hasta en sus pesadillas nunca la va a olvidar..

love it.

A much deserving Italian won this title, and that's the fact

Roberta you crazy!

Grand choix de vous aimez...

The defending of Roberta Vinci was most of the match on an unreal level. Incredible.

serena always tanks these matches

Life is harsh, one person's best moment in life can be the worst moment of others...literally the BIGGEST choke of Serena's tennis career!

1:24:42 best point of the match

No Grand Slam calendar for Serena

I’m so glad I barely knew Serena then because if I was to watch this I would have cried all day long and I cried as she lost that sf to azaranka

one time in life 💘

Great match by Roberta, she played without putting lots of weight on the ball so Serena had to do all the work. That really broke Serena rhythm,

this will forever haunt serena .. had she won this, she had the calendar slam and makes history .. pennetta was 0-8 h2h against her and she was one of those players that just did not believe she could beat serena and would always fold against her .. serena blew it bigtime .. epic fail

Il giorno in cui roberta era imbattibile ❤

No one in the history of tennis had to face this level of pressure than Serena! I couldn’t imagine the feelings she went through at this point

this match is a blueprint on how you defeat a player that has more power than you.

Venus vs jennifer 2001 plz

one of the greatest womens matches in history..variety killed serena ball bashing

Vous êtes la plus belle chérie

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

C'est ne pas un esulte chère chérie fleurs roses c'est donc l'amour

Je t'embrasse très tendrement mon cœur ❤️

Nobody talks about Serena's invasive shouts, that was pretty disgusting. She started screaming to disturb Roberta, fortunately Italians are made of another matter.

Je suis fiers d'etre partenaire pour vous ma candidature au carré

Serena had to come up with extra power for every back hand slice of vinci which kept the ball low with out offering any pace.serena was completely drained in producing extra power every time and couldn't handle the low back hand slices from vinci relentlessly it became harder and harder for serena to hit a winner she was pressing harder and harder for each shot kudos to vinci she out did serena more over vincis placement of the serve was excellent

Roberta laughing at her own reaction on the big screen, cut to Serena, trying nothing to cry 😂

C'est donc mon choix

Serena was tight from the very beginning, Vinci saw that and capitalized

The female commentator is such a Serena hater 😂😂😂

The day my heart broke

Ma chère chérie fleurs roses je t'aime très bien merci pour votre compréhension bien cordialement hasbouna ll'ah wa neenmas lwakilou Amine Amine Amine Amine Amine Amine Amine

at 1:10:50 that ball was so far out i can't believe the line judge didnt call that out.or the umpire since the serve was right near her.

David vs Goliath battle of women's tennis.

Vous êtes très belle je te dire mon amour
