AO 2013 SF: Li vs Sharapova

[martini1]

Total spanking! 6-2 6-2 GSM.

Congrats to Li Na.

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

Nice Li Na, wait to show class in a big moment too. Unlike the air-humping Sharapova after dismissing a legend in Venus Williams.

[Walenty]

Great stuff, minus a hiccup or two if she plays like this I think she'll win another slam.

Rodriguez was definitely a good choice for her.

[Shangri La]

What a win, Li Na!

[Tcbtennis]

She did it! Yay. This was a Serena-like beat down on Sharapova.

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

Sharapova--with all of the TW hype about her being so strong....where did ot go? In the toilet, and look how fast she bailed from the court!

Players with full knowledge of the court will always dismantle Sharapova. It never fails.

[soyizgood]

Sharapova just lost 1100pts. Serena gained 220pts. Li back to
#5. And a young star on the rise. Looking forward to the final.

Yes. Kudos to the man!

Lovely interview. "Ate some fruit, wanted to lose weight."

Li Na is funny

You need a brain to listen to coaches, and skill to hit shots. She has none.

[BreakPoint]

Good on Li Na!

At least it won't be another Sharapova vs. Azarenka screamfest final! Thank God!

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

Way to throw your husband under the bus again on the international stage, haha.

[TennisFan436]

Now, please, Sloane, beat Azarenka!

[Relinquis]

These guys need to stop the leading questions. Just let her express herself without trying to feed her what to say.

They do this all the time, it's so annoying. Only Safin wouldn't play their game.

She does it so perfectly though. But there have been extremely sweet moments too so it all balances out.

Could it be? The myth of a silent WTA Grand Slam finals, could it really happen?!

Let us pray...

[BreakPoint]

This, after Sharapova won her first two matches 6-0, 6-0 and was up 4-0 on Venus before she lost her very first game of the tournament in the middle of the 3rd round.

I guess Sharapova should have also had fruit for breakfast like Li Na did instead of double-bagels.

[kishnabe]

That was the best I ever saw Li Na play.

The last time she beat Sharapova in a major....magic happened. Hopefully the same happens again against Sloane or Azarenka.

Oh yeah I agree, I just think it's funny that each time she wins and gives an interview, the husband takes a hit.
