Both Zheng Jie and Li Na are now through to the semi-finals of the Australian Open after Li Na beat Venus Williams after losing first set 2-6; the match started with Li down 4-0, so it was a dramatic come-back. Even more so when sprung back from a match point to six-times champion Venus.
This is the first time ever two Chinese players have reached the semi-finals of a grand-slam tennis tournament and is a remarkable achievement. The first semi-final for Li Na; Zheng Jie reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon 2008.
Zheng Jie was unseeded and Li Na seeded 16, but their rankings will certainly increase following this very successful run.
