More on Roberta Vinci
Description from Wikipedia:
Roberta Vinci (born 18 February 1983) is an Italian tennis player, who reached the semi-finals of the women's doubles competition with Sandrine Testud at the French Open in 2004.
One of the biggest victories of her career came in 2005 when she beat Russian Anastasia Myskina (2004 French Open champion) on the grass of Eastbourne in the quarterfinals. As a qualifier she reached the semi-finals against another qualifier: Russian Vera Douchevina. She and her Italian team mates Mara Santangelo, Flavia Pennetta and Francesca Schiavone beat the Belgium team 3–2 in the 2006 Fed Cup final. Justine Henin-Hardenne had to retire in the fifth and final match due to an injury in her right knee, which let Italy win their first Fed Cup trophy.
On February 25, 2007 at Bogotá, Roberta Vinci won her first WTA title, against the top seed Tathiana Garbin, also of Italy, in 3 sets after falling behind 0–3 in the final set. She won the title after Garbin had to retire.
