After Zheng got to the semi-finals at Wimbledon (in 2008), I would never have imagined that less than two years later, both Li Na and Zheng Jie would make it to the semi-finals of another grand slam
For anyone who has played tennis for 20 years, any change of technique is a big challenge but I think it was worth it for me to do that
Building the business in China is critically important. I have flicked them (Sony-Ericsson) a few reports to share with them how much excitement there has been for Li Na and Zheng Jie and for Li Na to be the first Chinese player in the top 10 on the tour.
She just played super. I hope she can win the Australia Grand Slam title ... I think she do a lot, the fitness. She looks more stronger.
For Zheng Jie, for me, for my country and my fans, it is a good thing
She's just such a complete player. You never know what she's going to do next
Given the competitive form of Zheng Jie and Li Na, what they have achieved in Melbourne is not surprising to us. Their success shows that Chinese tennis players can find their rightful place in the tennis world.
I had a few nerves because it is first semi-final in Australia for me, and also she is my favourite player. I have not played her in a long time
I think she played so well today. For me, it didn't look like just her second tournament ... She plays super. I never had a chance.
I think the first set, start serve game, she not feeling so well ... I have two time the breakpoint, but not convert. And after this she plays super. I never have a chance. I feel I move so much faster, but she's better than me.
It wasn't just that I made the last four. It's because the things I've done in training really came out here so it's been a good harvest
Yeah I want to forget this match
In the first year, I crossed the river feeling the stones ... My obligation is to try my best to get good results.
I feel tennis is very quickly going up (in popularity) in China
It's tough for me but I am happy I can play against her ... She is my favourite player. I don't have anything to lose.
Maybe men need to work harder
Firstly I like her because she is so strong mentally
I feel a bit calmer than the last time I made a semifinal
I favor her for her is have the so strong the mentally ... I watch her play always — how you say — enjoy to watch her for play. For second I think is tough match for me, is big challenge. But I like it.
I enjoy watch[ing] her play always. I think is tough match for me, is big challenge. But I like it. I want do something, yeah
I feel a bit calmer than the last time I made a semi-final
Justine is my favorite player
It’s a big surprise for China
Henin for me is such a good player, she is so strong mentally
