Women's quarterfinals an over-30 party

Women's quarterfinals an over-30 party

Lifelong friends Roberta Vinci and Flavia Pennetta, along with Daniela Hantuchova, reached the US Open quarterfinals on Monday to ensure five women over the age of 30 will be in the last eight.

Vinci, the 10th seed, beat Italian compatriot and qualifier Camila Giorgi 6-4, 6-2 to reach the quarters for the second straight year.

Pennetta, No 83 in the world, made the last eight for a fourth time with a 6-2, 7-6 (3) win over Romanian 21st seed Simona Halep and will tackle childhood friend Vinci with a place in a major semifinal at stake for the first time.

Slovakia's Hantuchova, who last made the quarterfinals as a teenager in 2002, saw off American wild card Alison Riske 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 on the back of 15 aces and 46 winners.

"Roberta and I shared a room for four years. She's like a sister," said former world No 10 Pennetta, who splits a 4-4 career record with Vinci.

"I think it's going to be a really tough match for both of us. We know each other really well. I have known her for 20 years or more, we lived just 35, 45 km away from each other.

"So it is going to be really nice for us because one of us is going to have the chance to be in the semifinals."

Monday's events were hard luck on Halep, who came into the tournament having won four titles this year. She was hoping to be the first Romanian in the quarterfinals since Irina Spirlea in 1997.

Halep was serving at 5-4 in the second set with a set point when torrential rain caused a suspension of play for more than four hours.

When they returned to the Louis Armstrong Stadium court, Halep's composure was shattered and Pennetta hit back before racing through the tie-breaker for victory.

Vinci recovered from 1-4 down in the first set to race away with 11 of the next 13 games to beat world No 136 Giorgi, who had stunned former No 1 Caroline Wozniacki in the third round.

Hantuchova and Riske were at 4-4 in the second set when they went off for rain.

"The rain didn't make it easier on both of us but I'm glad to be into the quarterfinals," said Hantuchova, whose best Grand Slam performance was a run to the Australian Open semifinals in 2008.

"In every match I'm giving my heart into it. It might not be the best tennis, but I'm trying my best."

The 30-year-old Hantuchova, now down at 48 in the world after being as high as No 5 in 2002, will face either world No 2 Victoria Azarenka or Serbian 13th seed Ana Ivanovic for a place in the semifinals.

That match was pushed back to Tuesday as more than 30 matches were wiped off the program due to the rain.

Vinci, Pennetta and Hantuchova joined Serena Williams and Li Na as the players over 30 in the quarterfinals - the most in the Open era since five also made the Australian Open last eight in 1977.

"Camila played so flat but I served really well and won lots of points that way," said Vinci, who completed business just before the deluge hit New York.

She was helped by seeing Giorgi's game completely fall to pieces on the grandstand court as the 21-year-old hit seven double faults and 35 unforced errors.

"Camila is a great player and had nothing to lose after winning three matches in qualifying and three in the main draw. She is one for the future.

"I had lots of points to defend so I am happy to get to the quarterfinals again," said Vinci, who will make the world top 10 if she wins her next match.

Despite defeat, Giorgi, who missed the entire hard-court season in the run-up to the US Open with a shoulder injury, was content with her performances in New York, which will guarantee a return to the world top 100.

"It wasn't my day. I didn't play good," she said. "But for the tournament, I am satisfied."
