We could not really expect this!
Former Flavia Pennetta is currently ranked world 83 as she had to cope with some injuries. Now she is finally back to her tennis to have reached the best result of her slam career.
Flavia was in good control of the match against Roberta Vinci to break her 6 times and score a total 63 points vs. Vinci’s 45. Match Stats
What’s incredible is the players that Flavia has defeated on her road to the semifinal as she hasn’t dropped a set so far to beat seed no.5 Sara Errani, former world no.1 Svetlana Kutznetsova, a super in-form Simona Halep and now world no. 13 Roberta Vinci… that ‘s no bad at all!
Flavia
Talking about her dreams about coming back so strongly she commented “I hoped so. It’s what I hoped for at the start of this year, to be honest. It didn’t happen as easily or as quickly as I’d hoped. But I definitely hoped.”
Next vs. Azarenka
Flavia will play Victoria Azarenka in the semifinal. Head to head is 2-1 for the Italian (counting a walk over). Vika is definitely the favourite to reach the final… isn’t she?
