The first Chinese player to win a Grand Slam attacked with flair and ambition with her flat hitting and dominated many periods of the match, though she needed to fight and focus harder to regain control after her level dropped early in the second set. ‘I have a very good physio,’ Li had said before the match, explaining her enduringly good court coverage, and it seemed that Errani, who had considered withdrawing with an injury, must have had good treatment too.
She appeared with spectacular blue taping from the back of her ankles to the knees on both legs, but was still able to run, fight, and make it difficult for an opponent she had never beaten. It means if Li can overcome Jelena Jankovic, the former world number one from Serbia, she will almost certainly make the last four.
