Roberta Vinci produced the biggest tennis upset of the year--the century?--and went viral on Twitter with her candid post-match comments.

Flavia Pennetta winning the US Open was crazy enough, but when the Italian announced her retirement moments after her triumph, we knew it was going to be a crazy weekend in New York. Join us for a look back at the best of what the Twitterverse had to offer during final weekend of the US Open.
1. Wait, what is this? Oh, IT. IS. SPARTA!
2. We second that emotion.
3. Is she the one that kept cheering every time Djokovic missed a first serve?
4. They totally look like high-schoolers in this pic, don’t they?
5. Quality time with baby Stefan before making more Nole history!
6. When the tennis gets good, hop on a plane and go check it out. That’s what Italian PM Matteo Renzi did when the first all-Italian Grand Slam final in history was about to go down.
7. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo (in slo-mo).
8. That moment when you can stop being so serious and have fun again (knowing that you’ve just won your tenth major, which helps).
9. The first Grand Slam final in history where the runner-up was every bit as happy as the champ. Classic!
10. Tennis and tattoos, always something to get inspired by.
11. (Because this one goes to 11) Sit back and watch it over and over again—it gets better each time.
