NEW YORK — Roberta Vinci will face a fellow Italian in the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the second straight year. In a testament to the depth among Italy's women's tennis players, the 10th-seeded Vinci will also be taking on a countrywoman for the third straight round at this year's tournament. She and Flavia Pennetta both won Monday to set up a matchup of 30-somethings who have known each other since they were 8.
