The 2015 US Open ended on Sunday night with Novak Djokovic taking down Roger Federer. In the women's final Saturday, Flavia Pennetta defeated Roberta Vinci. Perhaps the biggest moment of the tournament, though, came in the semifinals when Vinci upset Serena Williams, ending her bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam. Here's a look back at the 2015 US Open in pictures.
