Wimbledon June 18 2011 Na Li

An interview with:

           

NA LI

       
 

            Q.  You must be very confident, even though it's a different surface from Paris coming into Wimbledon.  Two slams this year, and you've been in both finals.

            NA LI:  Of course confident, but different surface.  So it's another ‑ how you say ‑ just another tournament because Paris is over.

            Now I just focused on the Wimbledon, yeah.

            Q.  Have you had time to reflect about being a Grand Slam champion?  Do you feel different?  After two weeks, what has gone through your mind about that?

            NA LI:  No, just the next day wake up.  I was asking my husband it's real or fake, you know, because I still didn't believe.  But after I take three days off and then try to come back to the tennis court again.

            I mean, I just win a tournament, so now I would like to do the same like before:  just focus every tournament, try the best at tennis, yeah.

            Q.  When we saw you at the end of the French you said you hadn't talked to your mother.  Did she end up watching it?  What did she have to say to you?

            NA LI:  No, after match she just send me the text message.  She ask when I was back.  I say, After Wimbledon, and then she never send me back again, so...  (Laughter.)

            Q.  So did she watch?

            NA LI:  I think she know I win the tournament.  I don't know if even she know how big tournament is.  I didn't ask her.

            Q.  You have not been back to China?

            NA LI:  No.

            Q.  Do you have an idea of the reaction back in China?  Quite a few people watched you apparently.  Are you aware of any reaction in China to your success?

            NA LI:  After Paris I stay in Europe.  I know if I back to China people will be crazy.  So, you know, now is Wimbledon.  I mean, if I didn't do well maybe they forget me already, so...

            So I think need to take the time, and then, yeah.

            Q.  Do you feel more pressure coming into this Wimbledon than in the past because you're now coming having won the French Open, having been in the two Grand Slam finals this year?

            NA LI:  No.  I mean, of course was a little bit pressure, but I like it.  That can improve you a lot.  Yeah, I mean, you win the French Open, doesn't mean anything you can do well in Wimbledon.  Change of surface.  Totally different.

            So what I say before:  French is over.  So I don't think about what I'm doing.  I thinking about what I should have to do, yeah.

            Q.  Did you do anything special to celebrate, buy yourself a special present?

            NA LI:  Yeah, after final I just have dinner with the China consulate in Paris and.  Next day I was fly to Munich.  Nothing special.  You know, just sleep, eat, totally rest.

            Q.  No special present or anything?

            NA LI:  Not yet.

            Q.  Do you know what you want?

            NA LI:  I'll think about, you know, if I do well in Wimbledon so I can ask my husband, yeah.

            Q.  How about a diamond ring?

            NA LI:  I think diamond ring only I can get one time, right?  (Laughter.)

            Q.  On Tuesday you have this match against Alla.  Tell us what you think of her as a player?  You played her in Beijing.  What is she like?

            NA LI:  What is she like?

            Q.  What is she like to play against?

            NA LI:  No, is totally different.  I play her Beijing, is hard court.  So in grass court everything can happen.  Of course, now opponents see you different.

            I'm sure is tough match.  But, yeah, I wish I can win the match.

            Q.  What are the tricky elements of her?  What makes her difficult to play?

            NA LI:  I mean, I don't even think about what the opponent play looks like.  I just needs focus on my tennis on the court.

            Q.  You reached the quarterfinals here last year.  Clearly you're quite good at playing on grass as well.  Do you expect to do better this year than the quarterfinals?

            NA LI:  I mean, of course.  I always like to do better than last year.  But, you know, I mean, every player's tough.  Of course I have a lot of tough match.

            But right now I just think about round by round.  I'm not think about far away, yeah.

            Q.  You've played a few Wimbledons now.  Can I ask you what are your impressions of London, this country, whether you have a special routine you go through, how much you've seen of London and the surrounding area?

            NA LI:  I didn't want to say that, but I was see London like zero, you know.  I mean, I know you always traveling all over the world, but always like tennis court, hotel, airport.

            We are players, so we have to focus on tournament, of course.  You know, after tournament, just go back to home or prepare for next tournament.

            Until now I didn't even see London, so I hope I can have time to see this year.

            Q.  Anywhere you particularly want to see?

            NA LI:  The matches start Monday, so I don't want to think about what I should see.  I have to think about what I should play on the court.

            Q.  Even though you are focusing on this tournament, how important is it for you to realize that back home people are inspired by your victory, they talk about the sport being rejuvenated in China?

            NA LI:  So, yeah, I mean, right now I couldn't imagine if I go back what happen.  It's tough to say.  I can answer after I'm back to London.

            Q.  What would it mean to you in 10 years' time if there were 10 Chinese women in the top 30 and people say it began with Li Na, she opened the door to Chinese tennis?

            NA LI:  I mean, I don't think it's mean for China, but for me it just like dream come true.  I think was a little bit improve tennis in China, because right now I think more children, they saw match.  They think about, Okay, maybe someday I can do the same or even better than her.

            I think now the children have more confident to play professional tennis.

            Q.  Does your modesty forbid you from saying that you can win Wimbledon?

            NA LI:  I can't or I can?

            Q.  That you can.

            NA LI:  I wish I can also.

            Q.  You've been through this before because you've been a Wimbledon junior champion ‑ actually you still are.  Did that change the whole idea of tennis in China, or do you think your last victory is actually even more important?

            NA LI:  I mean, tennis in China last so many years, of course now I think now is change little bit.  I think tennis now in China got bigger and bigger, yeah.  But I don't know how much improve.  For sure, improve a little bit.

            Q.  What is the biggest difference about your feeling about tennis and about your game as a result of winning the French Open?

            NA LI:  Experience.  I mean, it's not only one thing can say was total different.  I mean, I was come to tour many years, so, you know, just keep the experience and try to never give up.

            Q.  On that subject, you are 28, 29 now.

            NA LI:  Yes, 29.

            Q.  You look 21.

            NA LI:  Thank you.  (Laughter.)

            Q.  Why do you think now you have become so good?  Obviously in the ladies' game they're 21, 22, 23.  What is it that made you a champion at the age of 29, do you think?

            NA LI:  I think Asia player is different than Western.  Also you can see right now in the top player, like maybe not like before always like young player come to the top.  I think now even more physical and also strong in the mind and also more experience.  So everything have to be together.

            But I think for the young player, I mean, they're not so strong like not say us, yeah.

            Q.  Obviously you had chances, especially in the first set.

            NA LI:  Yeah.

            Q.  What are your thoughts on the match?

            NA LI:  I mean, yeah, I have chance but I didn't catch it, so of course ‑‑ I mean, she's ‑‑ I think we play good match today and she's play well.  I think I'm ready for Wimbledon.

            Q.  The match kind of ran away from you in the second set.  Did you get tired?

            NA LI:  No.  I mean, I was 3‑1 up, and, you know, just like ‑‑ she just boom, boom, boom.  Yeah, so I was feeling like ‑‑ I try.  I tried to come back, but, you know, I mean, after lose the match, nothing to say.  Yeah.

            Q.  What's the biggest thing that's changed in your life over the last week or so?

            NA LI:  I don't know yet, you know, because I didn't see the Internet.  I didn't go back to China.  I mean, maybe the people think I will change in life, but I never want to change my life.

            Q.  How are you received back in China?

            NA LI:  Oh, I can't tell you.  After back to China, you know.  Right now I don't know yet, because I don't know what plan they have.

            Q.  Obviously there will be a lot of attention on you.  Do you welcome that attention, or would you prefer to be more private?

            NA LI:  For me, doesn't matter.  I mean, I don't care it's like (indiscernible) or something.  You just have to be yourself, play your tennis.  I mean, you don't need to think about too much.  Yeah.

            Q.  What are your thoughts on Wimbledon now that you've started playing the grass court season?

            NA LI:  Yeah, was a little bit different than the clay court, so, I mean, I still happy I play two matches in here.  So a little bit used to have to get used to play the grass court.

            So, yeah, still have three days until Wimbledon, so of course now hard working and prepare, ready for Wimbledon.

            Q.  How is China's tennis at the moment?

            NA LI:  I don't know.  I didn't go back, you know.

            Q.  Well, you must have an idea of how well the country is doing.

            NA LI:  Really no idea, because I was like turn off my phone, I didn't see the Internet so nobody can contact with me.

            Yeah, I think I will know after I back to China.

            Q.  Just generally, you know, is Chinese tennis...

            NA LI:  You can ask her.  (Smiling.)

            Q.  Going into the French Open you said that you didn't even like clay and that maybe grass, you like grass.  How do you feel about maybe the extra expectations from people and yourself going into Wimbledon?

            NA LI:  I mean, French Open is over.  So I don't need to think about I'm doing in the French Open.

            So now is grass court season, so I just ready for the Wimbledon.  Doesn't matter lose first round or I come to the quarterfinal, semifinal.  I mean, you just play your tennis.  Yeah.

            Q.  You'll be seen as one of your favorites because of your Grand Slam record this year and you've already won a Grand Slam tournament.  Do you like being one of the favorites or does it matter to you?

            NA LI:  Oh, this is tough.  If you are famous, of course.  You lose something, like you couldn't ‑‑ walking around, like many people come with you.  But this is the life.  You have to enjoy the life what you have now.  Yeah.

            Q.  How did you start?  How did you start to go from ‑‑ what was your very first experience of tennis?

            NA LI:  I think this question I was answer a thousand times.  I was play badminton before and after I change to tennis.  Yeah.

            Q.  Did you ever think you would reach the level you have reached?

            NA LI:  Oh, this is a dream, you know.  So of course start the first day, I never think about I can win Grand Slam.  But after like two or three years, if you really enjoy this sport ‑‑ and also, you have the goal for yourself.  Yeah.

            Q.  Regarding a resurgence ‑‑ I know you can't speak for China, but generally in the Far East, do you feel there is a big interest, a swell of interest in the sport?

            NA LI:  I think now tennis in China can bigger and bigger.  If all the China player have to do much more better or even more good, I think we can improve tennis in China a lot.

            Q.  It would be nice to have other players with you?

            NA LI:  No, never.  I mean, I just sports, sportsman.  So I didn't want to do ‑‑

THE MODERATOR:  No, no.

            Q.  No, I meant it would be nice if you had a few more Chinese girls with you at big tournaments.

            NA LI:  Yeah.  The thing about ‑‑ this is the plan, also.  Yeah, of course.  I mean, you have chance, but, you know, for all the China player is tough.  We need to get visa to everywhere.  It's not easy to get a visa right now.

            If I have the plan, but if the two girls didn't have visa, nothing can say or nothing can do.  Have to plan like maybe half a year ago or so and see which big tournament they can come with me or have to see which two players can come with me.

            Q.  Have you ever had to miss a tournament because you haven't got the visa?

            NA LI:  I think before they have like ‑‑ like two years ago I was playing ‑‑ I was playing Birmingham.  The tournament start Wednesday, and I was waiting visa in Paris for three weeks.

            So I got a visa Tuesday afternoon.  I mean, this is tough.  So yeah.  So I mean, many times ‑‑ many times like we just got visa before the tournament start.  So then we have to fly, and, you know...

            Q.  Are you going to win Wimbledon?

            NA LI:  I wish.  But it's tough, I know.

                       

Eastbourne AEGON International. June 13 2011 Na Li

NA LI

         

 

           Q.  How are you feeling about Wimbledon?  Are you hoping for your third Grand Slam title ‑‑ or third final of the year?

            NA LI:  I mean, yeah, French Open is over.  So now I prepare for Eastbourne of course and also Wimbledon.  If you always think about what do you do and ‑‑ I mean, nothing happen.  You have to think what do you have to do.  So for me I was looking forward to Wimbledon now.

            Q.  Do you like playing on grass?  Is it something you enjoy?

            NA LI:  I think not bad.  Yeah.  I mean, I always do well in Wimbledon, so...

            Q.  So you think you have the game for it?

            NA LI:  I'm ready for it.  Yeah.

            Q.  How are you feeling now that Venus and Serena are back?  It brought a bit of buzz to the tour.

            NA LI:  I mean, of course good for the fans.  I think many fans was missed them already.  And also, you know, I was so happy after injury they will come back.  For the player always tough to injury and come back.  You have to mentally so strong and then try to come back.  So I was happy they are come back now.

            Q.  Did you do anything particularly special to celebrate winning the French Open?

            NA LI:  I didn't go back to Shanghai, no, so I was ‑‑ after Paris I go back to Munich to see the doctor.  So turn off for three days for the ‑‑ I was turn off the phone for three days so nobody can find me anymore.  (Laughter.)

            I think because after I need time to calm down a little bit, because the French Open not last tournament before all of the year.  So I have to prepare for the Wimbledon, for the next tournament.

            Because I have like beginning of year after Melbourne, back to China, you know, so many thing come.  I couldn't concentration on the court anymore.

            So I didn't want do same mistake again.

            Q.  Is it difficult for you, the change from clay to grass, big change?

            NA LI:  I think was tough for every player.  You have to do it.  I mean, you couldn't say anything.  Yeah.

            Q.  Did you receive messages from any special people after Paris, from any politicians or famous people in China?

            NA LI:  I mean, a lot of friends send text message, of course.  And also Safina send me text message, Daniela send my text message, say congratulations.  Most important is a lot of friends send me text messages and family, also.  Yeah.

            Q.  Was your husband in Paris with you?

            NA LI:  Yeah.

            Q.  Because he coaches you, doesn't he?  Or he's your playing partner, isn't he, your husband?  Does he play?

            NA LI:  Yeah, because I mean, right now I have new coach.

            Q.  Oh, right.

            NA LI:  So he was no ‑‑ hitting partner, everything.

            Q.  You said you were going to have a chat with Michael Mortensen.  Have you spoken or discussed what the relationship will be?

            NA LI:  I mean, after ‑‑ yeah, after Paris of course we have the talk, and he was so happy.  Of course me, too.  So now we still continue to work, you know.  Yeah.

            Q.  Have you received any special awards for what you achieved in Paris from China, back home, do you know?

            NA LI:  No.  I think because ‑‑ I mean, after Wimbledon I will go back to China.  Yeah.

            Q.  But do you know if you're going to get any special awards in China?

            NA LI:  I don't know, because I was turn off the phone for three days.  (Laughter.)

            So for that three days, I didn't know any news, you know.  So I didn't want come to the Internet, you see all the news, because I know during the time people a little bit crazy about the winner.  (Laughter.)

            Q.  When you put the phone back on after three days, how many messages were there?

            NA LI:  You know, sometimes was funny, like if you turn off the phone, someone call you, but it was like turn off so nobody want contact you anymore.  If they send me text, I would say, Okay, contact with my agent, you know.

            Q.  Do you think, now that you've got "Grand Slam champion" after your name, do you think players will kind of react differently to you?  Does it give you something extra in the loom locker room or when you walk on court?

            NA LI:  Yeah.  I mean, during like this week like so many players all, like so many congratulations for me.  But I know it's tough, like during a tournament you couldn't think about any more on the clay court.  Because now they change the surface, grass court already.

            So of course, I mean, all players so friendly, but you have to think about ‑‑ you have to stand up again to think what you should have to do.

            Q.  Did you have a favorite Grand Slam that you always wanted to win?  Was it the French?

            NA LI:  I think I can win Grand Slam but I never think I can win French Open, you know.  Yeah, so that's why.

            And next day I was wake up, I was asking my husband.  He said, Real dream.  I mean, after we come, still didn't believe I can win French Open.  Yeah.

            Q.  Have you believed that you can win Wimbledon?

            NA LI:  You know, before I was think about, okay, maybe I can win like without French Open, you know.  But yeah, just one week ago I win the French, so I would say like, What's going on?  (Smiling.)

            Q.  Has it been hard for you to then focus on Wimbledon because of winning the French and all the emotions associated with that?

            NA LI:  No, so that's why I didn't go back to China because I still want to focus on China right now.

            Yeah, I mean, like I say before, I didn't want to make mistake again, same like happen Melbourne.  So also I know if I go back China would happen we're coming.

            Yeah, I'm still on the tour, so I still want to focus on the match, on the tournament, and then to try the best.  I mean, doesn't matter I will lose first round or whether I doing Wimbledon because I tried best already.  Yeah.

            Q.  Was there big pressure on you to go home, to go back to China?

            NA LI:  No.  I mean, no pressure for me.  It was what I think.  And also, I never ‑‑ I never want to change.  I always do the same what I do before.

            Q.  In Paris you said your mother would not watch because she's too nervous.

            NA LI:  Uh‑huh.

            Q.  And you had not spoken to her.

            NA LI:  Yeah.

            Q.  When you did speak to her, what happened?

            NA LI:  No, after tournament, I send text message.  Yeah, she just asked me, Are you come back?  I said, No, I not come back.  I say, I will come back after Wimbledon.  Okay.

            Then after, she never send me text message again.  (Laughter.)

            Q.  Did she see the match at all?  I mean, did she watch it afterwards when she had heard you had won?

            NA LI:  I mean, of course I would think about she didn't watch the match, but of course many phone or text message to her.

            I think she just know I was win the tournament.  But how big, I don't think she know that.

            Q.  When you have some time, will you buy yourself a special reward or something for your husband maybe to celebrate winning?

            NA LI:  Ah, no, I think, because in Paris same day we come to China Consulate, have big party.  I think that's all.  Even make so many party, maybe next day I don't know who I am and what I'm doing.  I didn't want to do that.  Yeah.

            Q.  You said your husband's snoring was causing a problem for your sleeping.  Have you sorted that problem out?

            NA LI:  I think now getting better.  Now he still can sleep on the bed.  I mean, if didn't work I was send him to the bathroom.  (Laughter.)

                       

Roland Garros June 4 2011 - Na Li

N. LI/F. Schiavone

           

6‑4, 7‑6

           

           

NA LI

            Q.  Congratulations, Li.  Great win.  I have two questions.  One of them is if the match had gone to three sets, we know that Schiavone is very good in coming back and fighting till the end, especially in the last set.  Would that have made you quite nervous?  Were you thinking about that?  And the second question is:  Your country has won Paris Grand Slam tournament for the first time.  We know that when Borg won, started winning Grand Slams, it made a big boom in Swedish tennis.  With a force like China, do you expect so much follow‑up in tennis?

            NA LI:  First one I think never happen because I win in two sets.  (Laughter.)

            And, I mean, if you come to final set, of course never know what happen because she's fighting a lot, and also I'm for sure fighting a lot on the court.  So you never know what happened.

            The second one, I mean, of course after first Chinese player can with can win the Grand Slam, I mean, a little bit proof for China tennis, also.  I think maybe China not like Sweden.  They have many top 1 player growing up, but I still believe China tennis were getting bigger and bigger.

            Q.  To me it's time to say to you, Gong xi, gong xi.

            NA LI:  Oh, xie xie.

            Q.  You know, in China there is million people has been watch the final.  When will you return in China, and what are you expected from your Chinese, from Chinese people?

            NA LI:  I mean, biggest right now is, you know, after French that next two weeks is Wimbledon, so I don't have time to go back to China right now.

            So I go back after Wimbledon.  If I didn't do well in Wimbledon, maybe people forget me already.  These are tough times, you know.

            I think right now I think the best time for me, because I can enjoy with my team.  Not like Melbourne.  After back to China, you know, many people come to you.

            Yeah, now just enjoy the team and try to focus on Wimbledon.  Yeah.

            Q.  Can you tell me, after being in the Melbourne final, did that help you for this final, knowing the kind of thing to expect from crowds?  And then second, in the second set when you were serving 4‑3 and got broken, was it from nerves or what happened after that?

            NA LI:  I mean, in Melbourne was the first time in the final.  Of course you didn't have any experience before.  You come one time final already, and you know what to do in this time.

            And for tennis, like 4‑3 for the serve is mean nothing, because the chair umpire didn't say, Game, set, match.  So both players still have chance.

            I think of course was nervous.  I mean, come to the final and so many people watching you.  I mean, yeah.

            But is good.  Finally I can win the match.  Yeah.

            Q.  Congratulations.  Can you tell us what it feels like to be a Grand Slam champion?  What's going through your mind?  Has it set in?  It's about an hour or so.  Just the feeling of being in such elite company.

            NA LI:  I mean, of course feeling ‑‑ you know, today is the dream come true.  Like I was a young player, I want be the Grand Slam champion ‑‑ but today.  Someone saying I'm getting old.  So, you know, the old woman like the dream come true.  Not easy.

            You know, also, like 6‑Love in the tiebreak, I was thinking about, Okay, don't do stupid thing.  Yeah, because like before I have many match points but I never win the match.  So I was like, Okay, you need one point, and then you can get.

            Of course, exciting.  Not so many player can win the Grand Slam.  Yeah.

            Q.  Congratulations.  I saw people in your family box like a coach or the husband put on a shirt which had Chinese characters.

            NA LI:  Yeah.

            Q.  I am Japanese, so I can sense some like meaning, but I don't know exactly what the meaning of that.  So could you explain about that, the Chinese letters?

            NA LI:  Just before the start French Open, I mean, Nike China they do T‑shirt for me.  They have Chinese, like, Be yourself.  So, yeah, they just ask me, Is okay to wear this T‑shirt?  I say, Of course.  Why not?

            They only make the T‑shirt for ‑‑ 30 T‑shirt all of the China.  I think now they should make more of it, because many ‑‑ yeah, a lot of fans was ask where they have the T‑shirt.

            Q.  Congratulations.  You stopped playing in 2002.  Could you tell us why you did that and went to university for study journalism?  Did you ever expect to come back stronger and being a Grand Slam champion?

            NA LI:  I mean, yeah, I think because like before the ranking always like over 120, and also always play small tournament.  I think is no challenge for the self, so is why I say should stop, and come to university to learn different way.

            I mean, because I didn't want like end of the career only way to the end.  So I have to change myself a little bit.  After two years, I think is the time to come back.

            So that's why.  Yeah.

            Q.  In the night between the 3rd and the 4th June, 1989, there was revolution in Tiananmen, and today you think is an important day for tennis like revolution in tennis?

            NA LI:  I think I just tennis player.  I don't need to answer just this question.  I only focus on my tennis on the court.

            Q.  Do you think it's an important moment, historical?

            NA LI:  I mean, if you didn't say, I never know it happen.  I mean, this is tough.  I don't want to answer.

            Q.  Congratulations for your victory.  Just after your victory against Silvia Soler‑Espinosa, we had a one‑to‑one interview, and I actually told you that Kim Clijsters was out.  You looked at me ‑ and I still have the video ‑ and it looked like you were pretty shocked by the news.  Did it really make a difference on the way you actually saw your table there at that moment?

            NA LI:  I mean, like Kim Clijsters out I mean second round, right?  Is far away.  And also, you don't need think about what opponent for third round, fourth round.  You have to be round by round.

            I have a lot of experience.  Like before, if I think too much always like lose easy.  So I never think about what I should do.  I only focus on next round, and then, yeah.

            Q.  Congratulations.  How did you prepare technically and tactically this match?  I thought you really handled her slice very well.  How did you prepare the match?

            NA LI:  You know, I play six matches already.  I mean, if I couldn't slice, I couldn't come to the final, right?  And also, if you play clay court, you have to know how to slice.

            Q.  Her slice?

            NA LI:  Her slice?

            Q.  Yes.

            NA LI:  Yeah, but, you know, my husband is my hitting partner.  He can hit slice, also.  (Laughter.)

            Q.  Congratulations.  In Melbourne you said that your mom had never watched you play live tennis.  Did she watch today?

            NA LI:  I don't think so.  I didn't contact with her, you know.  I mean, it's tough, because like before my ‑‑ how do you say it?  Like mom ‑‑ sister?  They always say, Oh, she's play now.  And then she turn off the TV because it made her nervous.

            I don't think she's watch.  Yeah, but I will contact her later.

            Q.  You have been working with Thomas Hogstedt from Sweden, and the last weeks with Michael Mortensen from Denmark.  Is that a good influence, or the training of many years with your husband is the principal thing?  How do you see this?

            NA LI:  I think the player change coaches like normal.  Like for the coach, you couldn't with the player for like five or ten years.  You know, every coach haves like good ‑‑ how you say?  Like good way for the players.

            So I just want change.  I want to be even better, so that's why after Melbourne I was change my team a little bit.  I have a new coach with me now.  Yeah.

            Q.  Congratulations.  For the fun of it, if you were still in journalism school and the teacher said, Tell us the meaning of this wonderful Chinese player who just won the Grand Slam, what would you write?

            NA LI:  Dream come true.  Yeah, I would like to say, you know, because in China never have champion for the Grand Slam, so that's why in China so many player working so hard.

            Because the dream is can be the top player or win the Grand Slam.  So I would like to say, yeah, dream come true.

            Q.  How do you feel when your flag of your country flutter or flying?  The flagpole for the first time, the flag because you win for the first time.

            NA LI:  I think it's amazing, because I only know like before only like Asia Game or Olympics they can have fly.  But, I mean, of course amazing time this time.

            And also I got a text message from my friend.  They said they were crying in China because they saw the national flag was come up.

            I think if you being Chinese, everyone was exciting during the time.  Yeah.

            Q.  Congratulations.  You've had good results at Wimbledon before, so do you think you can carry this form on to the grass?

            NA LI:  Change of surface.  Right now, like Schiavone say, just enjoy and take two or three days off.  Yeah, I will come to Eastbourne for the tournament.
