Vinci is currently ranked 43rd in the world and is a five-time Grand Slam champion in women's doubles. She also has a career Grand Slam in doubles, which only five women's pairs have achieved. Vinci had faced Serena four times previously and had never beaten her — and had never even taken a set off her, according to ESPN.
"Sorry guys," Vinci said in the post-match interview. "This is the best day of my life."
