Li Na and Zheng Jie make tennis history down under

Li Na (李娜) and Zheng Jie (郑洁) reached the quarterfinals of this year's Australian Open, currently going on. Today, Li Na, the number 16 seed, advanced by defeating the world's number 4, Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark, 6-4, 6-3. However, Li is not the first Chinese woman to reach the quarterfinals at the Australian Open. That honor goes to Zheng Jie, who by sheer luck, played her match yesterday. She defeated the number 31 seed, Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine, 7-6(5), 6-4. Li Na will next take on Venus Williams, seeded 6th, while Zheng Jie will take on unseeded Maria Kirilenko of Russia.
