Irina Falconi reaches her first WTA:  quarter-, semi-, round of 16. The Atlanta resident and New York raised Ecuadoran-American met with tennis media after propelling into the Semifinals of the CitiOpen in College Park on Friday, July 29, 2011. Her responses were inspiring, as much as Falconi is unassuming. She is the #4 ranked women’s tennis player in the United States and will rise in the world rankings as a result of her first semi-final berth in any WTA tournament ever. We’re proud to call her our hero.

Please note that the video is almost entirely raw uncut footage of the proceedings. At one point, a Senior (maybe the best) Reporter did unknowingly get in the way of our camera and block the view. The back of the reporter does appear for about 15 seconds. That way, we were able for you to hear the responses to all questions asked by the media.

    […] We covered and embedded video of Falconi’s post-match press conference in the previous post. She is now the one to watch. […]

      Have a great day! I’d have to say my interest in this Open has faded away aomlst completely. Fed takes another slam. Don’t believe any of the three men left in the draw will challenge him at all. Do I wanna see Fed dole out another beatdown? Not really. True this is not good for tennis. Perhaps the hype around Djokovic will inspire the casual fan to watch, if Novak makes it to the final. As for the women, not interested at all. But I haven’t been that interested since Capriati left.I suppose the Fedfans will be happy to watch their man take home the trophy again. Would be nice to see him pushed a bit though.
