• Last year’s runner up Roberta Vinci opened up her 2016 campaign on Arthur Ashe Stadium, defeating Germany’s Anna-Lena Friedsam 6-2, 6-4. The No. 7-seed enters the tournament with some pressure to defend the points she earned as a finalist in 2015, after defeating Serena Williams in the semifinals and eventually falling to countrywoman Flavia Pennetta.
“Was great to be back here to play on center court first match…it’s incredible to be here,” Vinci said after the match.
