Wow! What can I say? Another day, another Chinese woman has made the AO Semis.
This is completely unprecedented-having two Chinese players in the semis of a Grand Slam. The excitement is just ineffable! Even sweeter is the fact that Li Na, the player who tenaciously knocked out Venus Williams yesterday, is from my hometown of Wuhan. When she came back to win that third set yesterday, I was jumping up and down!
I'm not saying that it will likely happen, but we COULD, POTENTIALLY see an ALL-CHINESE Grand Slam final. That would be the biggest sporting spectable in China since the Olympics! Fingers crossed that the miracle will happen, but it will be nonetheless very exciting to see Zheng Jie and Li Na take on their semi-final opponents today.
Bold prediction of the day: Marin Cilic will upset Andy Murray once again.
