Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci have been the improbable heroes of the recent US Open and they benefit also from a ranking point of view.
Pennetta
After winning the US Open, Flavia climbed 18 places to be the new world no.8 (career high). No bad if you think she is going to retire soon.
Vinci
Roberta reached the US Open final after producing probably the biggest upset in tennis history (d. Serena Williams). After reaching this final Roberta has gained 24 places (now world no.19)
Here the rankings.
