Betting on Roberta Vinci

Roberta Vinci has been handed a free pass into the quarterfinals of the 2015 US Open after Eugenie Bouchard withdrew from their scheduled round-of-16 clash due to a concussion. It was a fortunate break for Vinci, considering that Bouchard was playing some fabulous tennis prior to her injury.

The Italian has 11 aces, 63 winners and 74 unforced errors combined through her first three outings.
