Serena Williams may not have won the calendar year Grand Slam as hoped, but she is taking the high road by congratulating Flavia Pennetta, the winner of the 2015 U.S. Open.
The 33-year-old tennis player was defeated in the semi-finals round yesterday in a major upset after Italian player Roberta Vinci pulled off a surprise victory.
