2015 tennis event results
Main article: 2015 US Open (tennis)
Flavia Pennetta defeated Roberta Vinci in the final, 7–6(7–4) , 6–2, to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2015 US Open.[1] It was her first major singles title, and she became the first woman to win her maiden major title after turning 30 years old. Pennetta was competing in her 49th major main draw, setting a new record for the most appearances in major main draws before reaching a final (a record later broken by Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in 2021 ). Vinci became the first unseeded woman to reach a major final since Justine Henin at the 2010 Australian Open .[2] This marked the first final with two first-time major finalists since the 2010 French Open , and the first with two Italian players. This was also Pennetta's last major, as she retired from the sport at the end of the 2015 season.[3] [4]
Serena Williams was the three-time defending champion, but she lost in the semifinals to Vinci. Williams was attempting to become only the fourth woman (after Maureen Connolly , Margaret Court and Steffi Graf ) to complete the Grand Slam by winning the title. She was also trying to set a new Open Era record by winning a seventh US Open singles title.
This was the major main draw debut of future American No. 1 and Australian Open champion, Sofia Kenin ; she lost to Mariana Duque Mariño in the first round.
The final between Pennetta and Vinci made Italy the fifth country in the Open Era (after Australia, the United States, Belgium and Russia) to have two countrywomen contest a major final.
Petra Kvitová became the first player born in the 1990s to reach the quarterfinals at all four majors in singles.[5]
