Only needs one
good match so far!
feeling poorly actually means I get to be awake for this - hadn't been able to watch any tennis at all this slam thanks to inconvenient time zones
― Roz, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:25 (eight years ago) link
all these gorgeous drop shots and volleys
― Roz, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:28 (eight years ago) link
yeah, want to see a 3rd set.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:29 (eight years ago) link
wow Pennetta just got everything back!!
that was a v nice point
― cerealbar, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:30 (eight years ago) link
nice at the net vinci then UE: 15-30. 2BPs
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:31 (eight years ago) link
15-40
early break
fairly good match so far, albeit some nerves showing
― cerealbar, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:31 (eight years ago) link
hitting back with that one-handed backhand but then another UE vinci: 30-30
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:33 (eight years ago) link
one bp for break back
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:34 (eight years ago) link
fantastic stuff from P to keep her serve: 3-0
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:36 (eight years ago) link
this is drifting to a conclusion fast :-(
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:38 (eight years ago) link
thumping down the line for dbl break
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:40 (eight years ago) link
there it is! 4-0
Pennetta has had more firepower at the odd moment.
And the 2nd set is looking like a step too far for Vinci
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:41 (eight years ago) link
:/
They've both been playing well but Flavia has just been a bit more composed on the key moments
― Roz, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:42 (eight years ago) link
oh Roberta, that miss :(
― Roz, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:44 (eight years ago) link
manages to break back anyway!
Vinci gets a break back but surely too little too late
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:45 (eight years ago) link
seeding doubts...4-2
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:50 (eight years ago) link
Fantastic point by Flavia to serve one of these games out. One away..
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:53 (eight years ago) link
0-30, come on Vinci make her serve for it
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:55 (eight years ago) link
3 CPs

― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:56 (eight years ago) link
Wanted to see this go three but Flavia is a badass and this is amazing
― Roz, Saturday, 12 September 2015 20:59 (eight years ago) link
yup
― cerealbar, Saturday, 12 September 2015 21:02 (eight years ago) link
love her and Vinci just laughing and chatting as they waited for this championship ceremony, friendliest final ever
― Roz, Saturday, 12 September 2015 21:04 (eight years ago) link

Flavia just retired, wow! What a way to go out.
― Roz, Saturday, 12 September 2015 21:11 (eight years ago) link
Flavia announces her retirement in the speech!that is beautiful
― cerealbar, Saturday, 12 September 2015 21:12 (eight years ago) link
wow!!!
― usic ally (k3vin k.), Saturday, 12 September 2015 21:12 (eight years ago) link
glad she is finishing the season at least
― cerealbar, Saturday, 12 September 2015 21:19 (eight years ago) link
wow good 4 her :)
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 12 September 2015 21:30 (eight years ago) link
Flavia got her Schiavone moment :)
What a way to go out too, so happy for her. I feel like Roby was way happier to be runner-up than Flavia would have been.

Every year weather fuckery with the US Open

― lex pretend, Sunday, 13 September 2015 22:49 (eight years ago) link
lol no the wheelchair matches were earlier.
they're finishing up drying the courts, between the national anthem (aloe blacc...) and warm ups play should start around 730
― usic ally (k3vin k.), Sunday, 13 September 2015 22:55 (eight years ago) link
these utterly idiotic pre-match questions would drain half my energy
