China rising at Australian Open

Two Chinese tennis players that entered the semis of the Australian Open may be a sign of things to come.

Na Li beat Venus Williams in a 2-6 7-6 7-5 victory on Wednesday, while Zheng Jie proved equally adept in winning against her opponents.

The reason they may become more visible is the fact Zheng Jie has reached the last four at Wimbledon two years ago and back in 2004 Li Ting and Tian Tian won the Olympic gold medal in Athens. –dennis c.
