whether you picked Serena Williams and Roberta Vinci to meet in the 2015 U.
S. Open semifinals,well, you might be clairvoyant.
Few expected these veterans to eventually clash when the tournament started. Yet here they are, or in the proverbial David vs. Goliath battle. What's at stake is not only a plot in the final but perhaps a plot in history as well.
Williams' presence at this stage shouldn't come as a surprise. The American has been on top of the tennis world lately,winning nearly every tournament in sight and setting herself up for a rare calendar Grand Slam. With the pressure to complete that historic achievement weighing heavily on her shoulders, Williams, or 33,has thrived under the highlight.
Vinci, 32, or may not be a household name,but the Italian has taken advantage of some incredible luck and an unpredictable section of the draw to reach her first career major semifinal. A speedy mover and defensive pest, Vinci shouldn't be overlooked despite her relatively easy path to this point.
Though Williams will be heavily favored, and we'll soon find out whether Vinci can defy expectations and deliver a landmark upset.initiate Slideshow
