Roberta Vinci ( Italian pronunciation: [roˈbɛrta ˈvintʃi]; born 18 February 1983) is an Italian former tennis player. In doubles tennis, she is a Career Grand Slam champion having won all major tournaments and reached the world No. 1 position. She also reached a career-high singles ranking of world No. 7, in May 2016. At 33 years and 4 days old, she became the oldest women's player ever to debut in the top 10.
Vinci rose to global prominence at the 2015 US Open, where she defeated world No. 1 Serena Williams in the semifinals to end her hopes of achieving the Grand Slam, in what has been described by commentators as one of the greatest upsets in tennis history. She went on to lose to her childhood friend Flavia Pennetta in the first all-Italian major final.
