Serena Williams is currently the number one ranked tennis player in the world. She was just beat, in a brutal and very close game, by Roberta Vinci, a woman who is currently ranked at 43rd. This is a tremendous upset! Like, huge. Unprecedented, almost.Choi...
Williams made it to the semi-finals after eking by her sister, Venus, in a grueling quarterfinal match on Tuesday. In Friday afternoon’s game, Williams beat Vinci 6-2 in the first round, but the scrappy lil’ Vinci came back and won the second, 4-6. By the third set, Williams seem tired and frustrated, while Vinci had seemingly found her stride. She beat Williams in the third round, ending Serena’s dreams of a calendar Grand Slam, and advancing to the finals.
Serena’s maybe-boyfriend Drake was in the crowd, covering his swole and looking aggrieved, as one does. Maybe it was his fault? Or maybe Vinci is just a good tennis player who saw her chance and took it. Either way, congratulations to her, and our deepest condolences to Serena
