In the Pre US Open Flavia event he will return to the field 10 years after his triumph. Also present for the performance also Agassi, Gauff and Del Potro among others
The most beautiful day of Italian tennis, at least so far, remains on Saturday 12 September 2015. When in Flushing Meadows a Brindisi and a Tarantina, Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci, played one against the other for the title of the US Open. Who won Flavia, announcing shortly after 2015 would have been his last year as a tennis player. Ten years later, almost respecting the anniversary, for the first time he will return to the field at the US Open. As a tennis player, for a special occasion.
Stars of the Open

A night of the stars, a tennis themed gala evening will be staged in Flushing Meadows on the Italian night between Thursday 21 and 22 August. The event, which will be visible from 1.00 on Supertennis, will offer fun and entertainment in a sort of mini mixed double tournament. This is a performance, which will join yesterday and today’s stars. Pennetta will pair with Flavio Cobolli, n.26 in the world, against the spouses Monfils, Gael Monfils and Elina Vitolina. The two couples will challenge each other, obviously on Arthur Ashe, as third of the four matches.

To inaugurate the evening will be the derby between American icons, with Andre Agassi and Coco Gauff who will challenge John Mcenroe and Venus Williams.
