2014 Aussie Open QF: Li vs. Pennetta

[Front242]

I'm hoping that Li will go all the way, so I'm glad to see her so solid here. I like Flavia, and happy for her run here, but I'm throwing her under the bus in favor of Li this tournament.

She's pretty much thrown herself under it anyway! She can play a lot better than she has so it's a pity the way it's been so one sided.

Impressive performance from Li today
Congrats and well done!!!!!!!!!!!

Commies to Flavia....still overall a good tournament for her.

Nice friendly and respectful at the net. Why can't more of the ladies be like that. Some are so damn sour compared to the guys. Very well played by Li but Pennetta was poor unfortunately. Li looks to be in with a big chance of winning the whole thing if she keeps playing at that level.

Great win for Li. Glad she's holding up her seed unlike other top players. Flavia was clearly suffering with a leg issue. I hope she gets healthy so she can better compete going forward.

Li's always nice and funny with comments after the match.

Li's always nice and funny with comments after the match.

I figure she has to have some huge personality, speaking English as haltingly as she does, and yet that sense of humor comes through. She's such a rockstar.

Great job by Li

She now waits for the winner of Ana vs. Genie
