Flavia Pennetta has claimed that defeating Maria Sharapova in round three at the US Open was one of the "best victories" of her career.
The 29-year-old caused one of the biggest shocks of the tournament so far to defeat the number three seed 6-3 3-6 6-4 on the Arthur Ashe court yesterday.
"The tennis was amazing. We fought a lot," Pennetta said in an on-court interview.
"I want to thank the crowd for supporting me. This is one of the best victories of my career. I hope to get through in the next round."
The Italian will face Shuai Peng in round four.
